[The child in the hospital].
Children and adolescents live in a rich emotional world of imagination and fantasies. In the hospital they are confronted with a highly complex field of transactions. This generates images and feelings within the child and the adolescent which can be either healing, illness-provoking or maintaining certain problems. If doctors, nurses and other staff-members encourage the child and his relatives to develop favorable images, this may support the process of healing and enhance the quality of life, in dying patients as well. The presentation shows some of the images children have developed in the hospital and reports constructive and destructive transactional patterns related to the hospitalized patient.
