Abstract

For two years Damien took part in the sibling group at the medico-social action centre in Ivry-sur-Seine where his sister is cared for. A look back at the boy's development through the presentation of some of his drawings and the stories he has told about them. It seems to us essential to welcome the effects of the psychological shock of the families, induced by the handicap, and for this reason the siblings' group offers itself as a support to the narrative processes.

Keywords: dessin; disability; drawing; groupe fratrie; handicap; narrativity; narrativité; sibling group.
