Summary : How to pay enough attention to the future effects of a diagnosis announcement in the area of genetic abnormalities, especially when it concerns capacities of reproduction ? Parents go through torment all along the slow constitution of masculinity or feminity of their child and because the trouble is not visible to the eye, it's more intense. Even if reproduction is at the centre of one aspect of psychic life, there are considerable risks that trivialization prevent men, women and children as well, from a genuine speech. How to announce without producing an « announcement effect » ? How to favour a “To whom am I going to speak ?” ? Rather than a To tell thetruth ? Remarks that this article is trying to define. |
Keywords : abnormal sex chromosome, Klinefelter syndrome, Turner syndrome, prenatal diagnosis, announcement, psychological care |
