title: [End of treatment and "recovery"].
abstract: Complete recovery is now frequent in children with cancer. However, despite recovery, the disease and the treatment may induce, for many years, severe psychological impairments such as learning disabilities, emotional problems, abnormal behaviour, affective disorders, disturbances of social and familial relatedness. Study of the psychological processes accompanying, first the cancer and its treatment, then the time of recovery, help to define the interventions that will help the child to overcome his/her psychological difficulties without long-term secondary effects.
