title: [The leukemic child. Reflections from 5 years of psychological practice in a pediatric hematologic unit].
abstract: This report describes the psychological study of 130 children admitted to a paediatric haematology unit, where the personnel are sensitive to the needs of the infant and the parents also have their place. Taking several situations confronting the child with leukaemia, we try to stress the effect of the illness on schooling, family life and psychological function. The illness interrupt the psycho-affection development of the child and affects his relations to himself and others. Faced with childhood leukaemia, where somatic pathology and psychological difficulties interact, the psychologist has the role of listening to and supporting the child and the family as well as that of mediator with the personnel.
