Résumé
The upheavals induced by acquired disability in adults require reconstruction of the subject. The co-presence of body treatment methods (medical, traditional or cultural) is envisaged. The article seeks to understand the psychic impact of cultural mechanisms of body treatment. Eight clinical interviews carried out with four men met at the CNRPH in Yaoundé show that, the cultural body treatment can be considered as a care which goes beyond the ritual aspect to shore on a psychic care. The figure, the cultural therapeutic framework and the effect of the co-presence of the types of care must be reconsidered in order to make possible the subject’s psychic restructuring.
