Brief Summary:
The treatment of patients suffering from cleft lip(s) with or without a cleft palate (CL/P) is multidisciplinary. The careful consideration of concerned families during the repetitive appointments required by these treatments show the importance of the psychological context and of the harmonious structuring of the parents-child relationships on the child's development. Yet the birth of a child affected by CL/P is a particularly stressing and traumatising event for the parents. The investigators' prospective, multidisciplinary and multi-centred research project aims to assess the psychological perceptions of parents of children affected by CL/P over the year following the birth and analyse the child's degree of psychological suffering as well as the parents-child relationships. The time of the first surgical intervention varies amongst the treatment centres. The investigators listed four centres that intervene at different times according to the more or less long waiting times between the child's birth and this first surgical intervention. The results obtained for each group will be compared to one another and according to two sub-groups: parents who found out about the CL/P through embryo diagnosis and those who found out at their child's birth. The mental and psychological dimension due to the malformation and its correction will be analysed in the parents group (importance of the prenatal diagnosis, relational development with the child, self-esteem, quality of life) but also in the child (likely distress and withdrawal symptoms).
