title: [The pediatrician and the child with a psychosomatic disease: some reflections].
abstract: Not very carefully taking into account a possible psychosomatic pathology in children can, in many occasions, cause the pediatrician to make seriously wrong diagnostic, prognostic and therapeutic evaluations. As this is valid at any age, the authors affirm that particularly at the evolutive age, and since the first months of life, many circumstances occur in which the functional trouble can sometimes a serious organic pathology.
