Psychological Handicap: A Concept?

This paper presents the results of a statistical enquiry into people with psychological handicaps and those professionals who help them and who are delegated to their supervision. Data have been obtained using participants’ responses to questionnaires, making it possible to question the notion of a psychological handicap in order to consider the limitations of activities, or the restriction of participation in social activities, for people with psychological disorders as well as to think about possible means of compensation for them.
