[Parents' perception of girls with Turner's Syndrome].
Turner's syndrome is a chronic disease determined by a chromosomal aberration. Representation (mental image of a child) contains knowledge, fantasies, expectations and imaginations of a child. The purpose of the work was to try to give the answer to the question: what sort of representation of a girl with Turner's syndrome is she to her parents? The child representation has been described referring to three dimensions: 1. somatic; 2. cognitive; 3. social-affective. Ten families with Turner's syndrome girls were examined.
