In this paper we present the course of a research focused on the processing by hearing mothers of the diagnoses of deafness in their daughters. The investigation consists of two parts. In the first one, exploratory, the object of our investigation was defined in a more precise way. We found three successive phases in the mothers' processing. In the second part, descriptive, we examined the characteristics of the narrations about the moment after the diagnosis. We used a method that allows to study the discourse, analyzing wishes and defenses as well as their status. The results of this research can be useful to define more precisely the therapeutic goals for each phase, both for mothers and for the whole family.

Keywords : Deafness; Trauma; Mothers; Moment after the diagnosis.
