title: [The psychosocial protection of the terminal patient].
abstract: The growing question of terminal patients has imposed on facts for technical and logistical reasons the creation of some "Palliative Care Units". We add here psychosociological motivations for making therm more and better: terminal patient today must be sheltered against repression now weighing on Thanatos, just as once children had to be sheltered against repression then weighing on Eros. This is an institutional defensive front that we must adapt each time to the direction of the attack.
