title: [Siblings of a child with a motor handicap].
abstract: The siblings of children with motor handicaps have been only very infrequently studied, perhaps because of the fear of inducing additional disorders. From his personal experience, the author suggests that the siblings are more influenced by efficient parental guidance than by the presence of the handicapped child, whether this child is with it's family or in an institution. The risk for one of the parents of being appropriated by the handicapped child, who is thus over-protected, must be countered in order to avoid adverse reactions from the siblings.
