  • L'attachement : Concepts et applications

    Concepts et applications
    • 1st Edition
    • Nicole Guedeney + 1 more
    • French
    La théorie de l'attachement, élaborée par Bowlby et ses successeurs, propose une nouvelle compréhension de la genèse du lien fondamental qui fait qu'un bébé s'attache à ceux qui l'élèvent. Le moteur essentiel de cette construction est la satisfaction du besoin inné du bébé de proximité (envers les figures censées le protéger) et le sentiment de sécurité procuré par cette proximité. Ce système d'attachement se construit en interaction entre les besoins innés du petit et les réactions réelles de l'environnement. Il conduit à un système de représentations actives tout au long de la vie qui organise la perception du monde, dès que le sujet est en situation de vulnérabilité ou de détresse. Premier livre en France à décrire les connaissances actuelles sur la théorie de l'attachement à partir des apports des principales œuvres originelles : l'histoire, les concepts et les apports thérapeutiques. Trois parties : – Théorie : les concepts et leur évolution ; – Recherche fondamentale et instruments ; – Applications cliniques, développementales et thérapeutiques. Un glossaire explique les termes techniques de cette théorie. De nombreuses applications cliniques : les relations mère-bébé, séparation mère-enfant au sein des crèches, à l'hôpital, dans les familles divorcées, etc. Études transculturelles mettant en avant l'universalité de l'attachement : en Chine, en Afrique, en Israël, en Allemagne. Analyse étendue à l'attachement chez l'adolescent, l'adulte, dans le couple, la famille.

  • Mieux se connaître pour mieux soigner

    Une approche du développement personnel en soins infirmiers
    • 1st Edition
    • Dominique Rispail
    • French
    Être soignant amène à être confronté à ses propres limites. Limites physiques d'une part : accueillir les urgences de nuit, vivre des rythmes décalés… Limites psychologiques d'autre part : supporter l'angoisse d'un patient en attente d'un diagnostic, gérer la détresse d'une personne dépressive, accompagner un enfant en fin de vie… Autant de situations où la confrontation à la maladie, à la mort, à la souffrance occasionne de nombreuses remises en cause chez le soignant. Pour exercer ce métier, l'étudiant comme le professionnel doivent donc apprendre à bien connaître leurs valeurs, leurs motivations, leurs émotions mais également leurs limites, leurs craintes et leurs aversions. Il s'agit d'améliorer la compréhension que l'on a de soi-même pour mieux communiquer, évoluer et s'épanouir, entretenir des relations professionnelles satisfaisantes et apprendre à gérer les situations difficiles. Ce guide de développement personnel, démarche issue des sciences humaines et initiée dans les années cinquante aux États-Unis, vise à aider les soignants à faire ce travail sur eux-mêmes. De façon simple et ludique, il propose des rappels théoriques, mais surtout de nombreuses applications pratiques, sous forme d'exercices et de tests pour aider les soignants et les futurs soignants à « avoir du CRAN » : se connaître, communiquer, se relaxer, s'affirmer, négocier.

    Durant ces dernières années, l'utilisation de l'échocardiographie Doppler s'est généralisée en réanimation et en anesthésie, et ce pour de multiples raisons. – Le nombre de réanimateurs et d'anesthésistes-réan... qui se sont formés à cette technique et le nombre de publications scientifiques qui s'y rapportent ont augmenté de manière exponentielle. – Le domaine de compétence spécifique aux réanimateurs et aux anesthésistes-réanim... s'est progressivement précisé et imposé de lui-même sur le terrain. – De nouveaux concepts tels que celui du stéthoscope ultrasonique et du monitorage fonctionnel de l'état hémodynamique des patients en état critique ont émergé et se sont affinés. – Les appareils d'échocardiographie toujours plus performants se sont miniaturisés, pour atteindre la taille et le poids d'un ordinateur portable. – Enfin et surtout, les mentalités ont évolué, aussi bien chez les cardiologues que chez les réanimateurs de toute origine. L'échocardiographie Doppler est désormais unanimement considérée comme un moyen d'évaluation incontournable des patients en état critique. Échocardiographie Doppler chez le patient en état critique : un outil de diagnostic et de monitorage fait le point sur l'état de l'art de cette technique en constante évolution. Son fil rouge est la défaillance d'organe. Son esprit est l'approche par syndromes, la concision et le caractère didactique fondé sur de nombreux exemples et la sélection de la littérature pertinente sur le sujet.
