Emotional problems of the severely burned patient.

In this article we have tried to present an overview of some of the common emotional responses and problems seen in severely burned patients. We have suggested that first consideration be given to learning what sort of person the patient is and becoming familiar with what the burned patient experiences. General preventive measures were suggested that included establishment of clear communication between patient and staff so that the patient has the best understanding possible of the nature of the injury and the treatment, allowing the patients as much control as possible in the treatment process, and providing adequate analgesic medication. We have described what may be observed when patients become anxious, fearful, angry, depressed, regressed, and psychotic, and have attempted to facilitate an understanding of what is occurring in patients showing these responses. Some common reactions of medical and nursing staff to the various emotional reactions were mentioned. In the final section we attempted to deal briefly with the responses of children and measures that can be taken with them. Most of the therapeutic measures suggested can be carried out by nonpsychiatric personnel if they are able to be empathetic and in touch with their own reactions to patients and to utilized common sense.

Adoption and the effect on children's development.

Adoption, whether formal or informal, has always been a superior method of assuring survival for children whose parents are unwilling or unable to care for them. However, adoption can also affect child development in profound ways. Data collected over the past three decades support adoption as a superior means of promoting normal development in children permanently separated from birth parents. Out of calamity and loss, children recover and progress to become functionally and emotionally competent adults. For children suffering severe neglect or abuse in early life, an adoptive family is a remarkable environment for healing emotional and physical trauma and reversing developmental deficits.

[What protection for handicapped child and his family today and tomorrow? The Precariousness Commission of the French Society of Pediatrics].

The recent decision of a large insurance company to put an end to the contracts of insurance subscribed by thousands of French parents for their disabled children, has brought to light the precariousness of the disabled children in our society. The available assistance for the disabled children in the French social welfare is described. Although significant this national assistance remains insufficient in order to avoid the precariousness of the disabled children and their families. An additional effort of solidarity of both the community and the insurance companies is therefore necessary.

Institutional rearing, parenting difficulties and marital support.

A prospective follow-up study was undertaken of two groups of women first studied in the mid 1960s when they were children: 94 girls reared in institutions to which they had been admitted because of a breakdown in parenting, and 51 girls in a general population comparison group. Both groups were interviewed in detail when aged 21-27 years and home observations were undertaken for those with young children. The institution-reared women showed a markedly increased rate of poor psychosocial functioning and of severe parenting difficulties in adult life. However, the support of a non-deviant spouse and of good living conditions in adult life provided a powerful protective effect.
