Abstract:
Since several years already, the scientific literature evoked the psycho-oncological perspective in the psychotherapeutic treatment of the patient suffering of a malignant mammary pathology. The objective of this article is to insist on some characteristics of personality inherent to the individual that suffers of a malignant mammary pathology. Comparing three groups of women (malignant mammary pathology--n = 51, benign mammary pathology--n = 71 and a group controls--n = 30), a set of questionnaires relating to locus of control and to the close circle--family and couple--has been managed. Results indicate that the woman suffering of a breast cancer is less "intern", consider that her health depends on factor "luck" and wish less cohesion and therefore more of distance within her couple and her family.
