[Psychological problems of parents and therapists in the early education of physically handicapped children].

The traumatic experience of the child's handicap creates psychological problems not only for the parents, but also for the therapists involved in early stimulation. Since successful stimulation can be hindered by these difficulties, it is importnat that they are recognized as early as possible, and minimized by appropriate responses from the personnel involved. A prerequisite to overcoming these difficulties is therefore the training of professional staff in the areas of psychodynamics and self-experience.
