[Psychopathology of children reared in lesbian families: literature review].
For several years, a growing number of children raised in lesbian families have been noticed. Even if this number is not really known, it appears clearly that more and more psychiatrists will have to care for children which will present this family configuration. The problem then is to know if this type of education has an incident on the psychopathology of children or not. The purpose of this article is not to give answer or to take side but just to help physicians to make a point of what is known about this subject in international literature.
