title: [The role of the family of a patient with a head injury].
abstract: When someone suffers a head injury, it is not always easy for the family to find its place and adopt a suitable attitude. The French national association of families and victims of head injuries and brain-damaged people (UNAFTC) was created in 1986 in order to support families and to assist in the patient's social and/or professional reintegration.
