Abstract

The presence of a child with a mental or physical disability causes psychological suffering in the parents, tending to disrupt the normal course of their existence and that of family life. This study examines the repercussions of the motor handicap of the child on the family affective dynamics in Ouagadougou in Burkina Faso. As such, she carries out a semi-directive clinical interview with the parents and siblings of three families. The application of the content analysis method to the collected data reveals significant facts. On the one hand, the disability of one of their children is a source of communication conflicts between parents: reciprocal accusation about the fate of the child, feeling of guilt, interruption of exchanges. On the other hand, children do better by maintaining emotional ties favorable to their development and the well-being of their motor-impaired brother. This research underlines the need for psychological help to the parents of the motor handicapped child. This can take the form of assistance to the latter's father and mother for the necessary follow-up or support that will enable them to keep their balance and tutoring to be provided to the children for the maintenance and reinforcement of a favorable affective climate between them and beneficial to their disinherited brother.
