[Managing patients with psychological trauma].
After having been neglected for a long time, taking care of victims has experienced an increasing interest for the last ten years (the creation of medicopsychological emergency cell [CUMP], the multiplication of professional trainings on this topic, the number and role of associations....). Aside from the political and social stake, the importance of psycho traumatic pathologies (consequences, co morbidity) justifies this interest. The caretaking of victims must be global (medical, social and judiciary) in order to optimize the accompanying all along the various actions thereby avoiding the hazards and misunderstandings which aggravate psycho traumatic troubles.
