Dans la mesure où une blessure psychologique nuit de manière importante à la santé ou au bien-être d'une personne, elle s'inscrit dans le cadre de l'expression «blessure grave». Par exemple, dans le cas où il s'agit d'une agression sexuelle qui n'implique pas nécessairement des blessures physiques, il peut en résulter de blessures psychologiques graves. 4, record 2, French, - blessure%20psychologique
