This study propounds a new psychosomatic approach of eczema, studying not the subject’s body image or mother-child relationship, but the family group in order to bring new elements so as to think the relational context of the symptom. The Author chooses to experiment a new projective tool, «?the family drawing of the dream house?», a trial being elaborated by P. Cuynet in the University of Besançon. This drawing is conceived as a projection of the family body’s image. Our results show a pathology of the familial psychic envelop in its containing function and bring new research prospects in order to take charge of those children and their families.
