Regard sur les enfants qui ont survécu à une tentative d'infanticide

Abstract

The author proposes a reflection on the children having survived an attempt of infanticide from a review of the literature and a case study. The article accentuates particularly the attitudes of denial of the circle of acquaintances and mortiferous counter attitudes of the professionals who are brought to take charge of the child. ? preventive psychiatric follow- up is desirable in these rare situations.
