title: [The shame-blame-worry complex in parents of children after craniocerebral trauma].
abstract: The care complex of parents of brain damaged children represents a defense mechanism against the parents' shame-guilt-dilemma. The care complex does not meet with a coping behaviour being beneficial to the children, but demands rather too much of such children and adolescents. There is overprotection, a changed emotional acceptance of the child and a changed method of upbringing together with a strict control over achievements at school and therapies still necessary. Variants of the parents' subjective guilt with regard to the child are described in several case vignettes. Methods of the psychotherapeutic treatment of parents are discussed. Finally, an outlook in the consequences of the care complex as regards the self-image and self-acceptance in adolescence are given.
