title: [Fragmentation needs integration: the patient and his nursing care].
abstract: The Author analyses the psyco-physical conditions prevailing during illness and hospitalization: from the alterations taking place in the anti-stimulus barriers, to the damages in the oneself perception as a whole. Being at the same time a psychologist and a patient, the A focalizes the value she believes the most specific one of the nursing profession: to care for the body means to care for the person, while the awareness of the suffering conditions means to care for the fundamental needs of reassurance, psycho-physical integration and interpersonal communication.
