title: [Markers and references of psychological trauma].
abstract: Whether it is an isolated and violent occurrence or repetitive and invasive, the event at the source of a psychological trauma suddenly breaks into the psychological balance of a person or a group. It can take several different forms but always causes significant emotional shock. Untreated, it can hinder over the long term the development of the people concerned.
