Nowadays, the rehabilitation of schizophrenic patients is a major issue for psychiatry. Regarding the role of conventional neuroleptics, the following points will be considered in this paper: the role of neuroleptics in the number, length and frequency of hospitalisations; the role of neuroleptics in the number, degree and length of relapses; the clinical effects of neuroleptics focusing particularly on their disinhibitory action, the most controversial and least studied of the clinical effects of these drugs; and the side effects, which have been intensively studied and particularly criticised during these last years, leading to the development of new drugs discussed in the next article. All the published data relating to the psychosocial profile of schizophrenic patients clearly demonstrate the need for further research in order to improve the familial, social and professional rehabilitation of these patients
