Abstract

Destroying the skin, the burn threatens the limits between the self and others. It induces a breakdown in the life which outcome deals with the history of every patient and his psychic structures. But in such a situation, the medical teams have to set up the specific support required by these patients. Through their symptoms the burned patients try to express a deep psychic suffering which needs to be listened to.
