abstract: The plastic surgery has its focus on treatment and the supply of physical injury. The article presents the second side of physical injury - here burns - and show the possible traumatic stress disorder. The results of the neurophysiology and neuroendocrinology regarding the creation of and the possible resistance to traumatic stress are also taken into consideration. Although psychological injuries, such as traumatic stress, are not curable with medication, non-invasive treatments - here for example the debriefing by trauma therapists - can offer successful and sustainable help, but this still depends on the type of individual trauma reaction - overstimulation, intrusions, dissociations. A possible emergency intervention with medication is presented. MINISUMMARY: The management of burns should also include the possibility of traumatic stress disorder, which is also a problem for neurophysiology and neuroendocrinology. In addition to useful and successful non-directives proposals for specified treatments by medication trauma therapists are presented.
