    AbstractThis study aimed at understanding the reasons leading certain people to choose burning as a form of self-destruction. It was based on the accounts of two patients who, in spite of presenting distinct characteristics, portrayed common points in their life histories which may have influenced their decision. The identification of mental or psychic disorders in these patients shows the importance of the presence of a specialized professional in Mental Health in the Burns Unit, since he can provide support to the multiprofessional team and will enable the provision of more adequate care and the necessary support to the burned patient aiming at his physical and mental recovery.
