Insufficient transitional structures between psychiatric hospitals and return to social life, has for quite some time proved a handicap toward the social integration of mentally disabled people. Asylum confined psychiatry is on the way out and slowly evolving into an ever widening projection in social life. The monitored residences and supervised flats are a striking example of such evolution. For stabilised psychiatric patients they represent a real hope of increased autonomy leading to an adaptation to psychosocial integration.
