Abstract
Experience with 57 children suggests that the physical and psychological rehabilitation of severely burned children is promoted in a positive and child-oriented environment. It has also suggested that the child care worker, functioning as an integral member of the burn team, can help establish a more peaceful relationship between the child and his environment and insulate him, by means of repeated positive encounters, from the threatening and often seemingly hostile world around him, while preparing him eventually to meet it. Thus, the child care worker can offer to the child the critical support and understanding needed throughout the long period of hospitalization by helping create a more normal and child-centered environment.
