Summary:This study sought to understand the meaning of the move from the mental institution to therapeutic residence as perceived by patients with psychic disturbances. In order to understand the experiences lived by these subjects, I chose qualitative research in a phenomenological mode. Reflection and the understanding of this theme made it possible to have a new understanding on de-institutionalization and provided input for the discussion on this continuous process of creating new ways of dealing with madness, difference and human suffering.
