Psychiatrists who must take care of patients suffering of Post Traumatic Stress Disorders are often surprised in front of the strength of repetition of the related frightful experience. Therapeutics methods which are more often used (Abreaction and Narcissism reconstruction by varied technics) have showed their limits. Leaning on their experience and referring to psycho-analytic teaching, the authors show the interest of the individual psychotherapy. They propose not to be strongly affected by the massive aspect to the "trauma" and to permit as far as possible the installation of the transfer.
