title: [Post-traumatic stress syndrome in burn patients; a review].
abstract: While post-traumatic stress disorder has drawn increasing interest over the last years, very few studies have been focused to burned patients. In its first part, this article provides a brief reminder of the symptomatology of post-traumatic stress disorder, of its various pathogenic theories as well as its various treatment approaches. The second part of the article reviews more specifically the literature about post-traumatic stress disorder in burned patients, emphasizing the need of a rapid and effective psychological therapy.
