ABSTRACT
It remains quite difficult, both psychologically and culturally, to perform and to correctly perform self-palpation of the breast. The present work attempts to investigate the causes of these difficulties and to identify the education needed to create a harmonious relationship with one's own body. This relationship is based essentially on representations of the structure and image of the body. The results of a survey conducted among the student midwives at the Isernia School of Obstetrics are also reported and reveal a widespread desire to delegate responsibility for the problem.
