  • Premiers pas en psychothérapie

    Petit manuel du thérapeute
    • 1st Edition
    • Laurent Schmitt
    • French
    Cet ouvrage est né d'une série de questions simples et justes que se posent les thérapeutes lors de leurs premiers entretiens : - Le patient doit-il parler tout au long de la rencontre et le thérapeute rester silencieux ? - Le thérapeute doit-il poser beaucoup de questions pour obtenir le plus de « matériel » possible au prix d'un entretien très proche du questionnement médical ? - Faut-il faire part tout de suite des principaux problèmes que l'on discerne chez le patient ou, au contraire, attendre patiemment, mais parfois en vain, qu'il les repère lui-même ? - Comment réagir face à une séparation amoureuse ou un deuil ? - Comment gérer une situation de crise ? La non-demande et son évolution ? - Quel tarif appliquer ? Comment meubler son cabinet ? - Comment aborder la sexualité ? De la même manière qu'on assemble les pièces d'un kit de montage, l'entretien se construit avec un matériel (le vécu des patients), des outils (posture du thérapeute, questions, conduite de l'entretien) et beaucoup de « pièces », « écrous », « boulons », « vis », qui paraissent secondaires mais concourent à la réussite de cet entretien. À travers une série de situations courantes, ce petit manuel donne au thérapeute les outils mais surtout des conseils ingénieux pour réussir ses entretiens.

  • Les troubles du langage chez l'enfant

    Description et évaluation
    • 1st Edition

    • French
    L'orthophonie-logopé... a connu, ces dernières années, de considérables avancées et s'est progressivement constituée en discipline scientifique autonome, intégrant les apports de plusieurs domaines. Les troubles du langage oral (dysphasies, troubles phonologiques, bégaiement) et écrit (troubles d'apprentissage du langage écrit, dyslexies, dysorthographies) chez l'enfant ne font pas exception à cette évolution, de sorte que leur description et leur évaluation nécessitent un regard multidimensionnel. Cet ouvrage offre une synthèse interdisciplinaire de la recherche dans ce domaine à partir notamment de la linguistique et de la psychologie développementale et cognitive. L'ouvrage présente une description, la plus exhautive et actuelle possible, des troubles du langage et de leur évaluation. Le lecteur y trouvera non seulement des informations pertinentes pour comprendre les différentes facettes de ces troubles, mais également des propositions pour envisager leur évaluation dans une visée thérapeutique, et de nouveaux outils d'observation des interactions verbales. Dans une optique développementale, une place importante est aussi accordée aux capacités des enfants typiques : d'une part pour préciser ce que les enfants ont à acquérir lorsqu'ils apprennent à parler, lire et écrire, et d'autre part pour rappeler que les enfants présentant des troubles du langage sont aussi des enfants en développement.
