Badly live a stress is considered as a defeat. Work's disability has to be a part of therapeutic arsenal. It is not an end in itself. But it is a means to envisage differently its relationship with the work and to set up mechanisms of protection. The Belgian social security, besides the compensation of stop for disease, also offers solutions of rehabilitations by the half-time resumption or the professional reorientation. A collaboration between the general practitioner, the specialists, the mutual insurance doctor and the occupational physician, allows a reintegration in the world of the work, after a time of reflection.
