Résumé

Healthcare professionals involved in the treatment and care of patients with intractable diseases, such as muscular dystrophy, increasingly encounter situations that can elicit emotional distress for them as well as the patients. Therefore, medical professionals also need support. This article describes a psychological case conference of multidisciplinary professionals involved in the treatment of a deceased patient with Duchenne muscular dystrophy. The conference aimed to support medical professionals in reflecting on and sharing their thoughts, feelings, and conflicts. Such a practice could support medical professionals in reflecting patients' thoughts and sharing their personal experiences with other staff members, which may alleviate emotional and personal conflicts. Reflecting on their interactions and dealings with patients serves this supportive function. Psychological case conferences for medical staff may serve as an opportunity for participants to feel emotionally supported and may perhaps help prevent burnout.
