Abstract

The work carried out at Les Impatients of Montreal is focused on the well-being of its clientele. … Art is of great help to those having to cope with psychiatric problems - by expressing themselves through art they come out of their closed-in world and establish contact with a community considered normal.

… a perspective on chronic disease management taken from the pages of the book "Les Impatients of Montreal - Artists from the Fringe" (www.impatients.ca). Cover artwork by Pierre Bellemare.
