Abstract

The relationship between the interventions of liaison psychiatry and those of general medicine is essential. The psychologist, notably, plays an important role in a paediatric intensive care unit. A double temporality, somatic and psychological, is to be taken into account in order to hear, beyond the individual, what the subjet has to say.
