TY - JOUR PY - 2012// TI - Psychic pain, somatic risks and psychological suffering in elderly people JO - Soins Psychiatrie A1 - Hazif-Thomas, Cyril A1 - Thomas, Philippe SP - 37 EP - 40 VL - IS - 282 N2 - Physical pain, like psychic pain, is still trivialised by healthcare practitioners working in geriatrics.

They generate anxiety, which often amplifies their perception. This article represents a reflection about the management of pain in elderly people.
