[Individuality of psycho-traumatism and psycho-traumatized people].
Clinical aspects of post-traumatic psychiatric disorders are now well-known. But it might be advisable to not extend wrongly the field of these disorders. Authors emphasize differences between life event and traumatic event, and dwell on the singularity of trauma which gathers of subjectivity. By another way they describe specific characteristics of different traumatisms, at any age. At last, they recall the risks connected to some professions, especially firemen, policemen and all rescuers.
