Abstract
(en) In quantitative research, the notion of Quality of Life instantiates the interest elicited by schizophrenic patients’ own subjective experience of their difficulties, of their resources and of their well-being. Based on a review of the literature and on a case study, this article questions the relevance of this concept for the establishment of a diagnosis and for management of the follow-up. In contrast to our stated objectives, the theoretical and methodological framework that subtends this concept results in a minimization of the subjective expression. Considering the case of M. V., central elements for follow-up remain ignored by this standardized approach that fails to articulate symptomatology with the singular logic of a trajectory through existence. The authors therefore conclude that the concept of Quality of Life is positioned less as a satisfactory alternative than as a complement to the deficit approach to schizophrenia.
