[An evaluation of interpersonal dependency in physically handicapped children]

In assessing the problems of handicapped persons, the social relations represents an important element. The emotional thrust in other persons put in evidence the need for assistance, only 25.1% of the subjects having normal affective relations. The lack of self-thrust and a choosing of a model from the closed community is met in 70.1% of the cases. The expression of the autonomy depends on the degree of motor handicap; 36.1% consider themselves as dependent, but a part of them have only a physical dependence.
