  • Manuel de pratique clinique

    • 1st Edition
    • September 13, 2012
    • René Roussillon
    • French
    Ce Manuel de pratique clinique présente une réflexion sur les bases et les concepts fondamentaux de ce qui définit LA pratique clinique dans toutes les formes qu'elle adopte par son ajustement aux situations et objets cliniques auxquels elle se confronte. L'auteur propose d'extrapoler et de généraliser, à partir de la pratique psychanalytique et de sa théorie, ce qui s'applique à toutes les pratiques cliniques qui s'y réfèrent. Ainsi sont passés en revue aussi bien dans leurs formes de base que dans leurs variations possibles : la méthode associative et sa polymorphie ; le transfert et les constellations transférentielles ; les fonctions du dispositif clinique et ses aménagements avec les capacités d'élaborations des sujets ; l'écoute des besoins psychiques impliqués dans le travail thérapeutique et dans le processus de symbolisation ; les formes du jeu de l'intervention du clinicien. Enfin, une approche de l'activité de recherche inhérente à la pratique clinique complète cette démarche. Ce manuel s'attache ainsi à préciser les formes concrètes que prennent les pratiques cliniques dans leurs différents champs d'application. Il s'adresse à tous les cliniciens, psychologues, psychiatres, psychanalystes soucieux d'asseoir leur pratique sur un certain nombre de principes issus de l'apport fondamental de la clinique et de la pratique psychanalytique.

    A major shift in approaching Schizophrenia has been witnessed among psychiatrists with the belief now that early diagnosis and intervention may have a positive influence on the outcome of schizophrenia. The search for key diagnostic clusters to enhance early diagnosis is underway as well as concerted efforts to find biomarkers of disease and disease progression. To address this, this issue of the Psychiatric Clinics of North America presents distinguished academic clinicians and neuroscientists who provide comprehensive overviews of the present state of knowledge on the epidemiology, early clinical characteristics, and diagnostic changes, proposed pathogenesis, neurobiology, and treatment requirements for this disorder. The current state of knowledge is substantial, academically credible, and scientifically based. Topics on the subject of early intervention in and diagnosis of schizophrenia include: Nosology of Schizophrenia: Defining Illness Boundaries Based upon Symptoms; Neurodevelopmental Hypothesis of Schizophrenia; Predicting Risk and the Emergence of Schizophrenia; Is Early Intervention for Psychosis Feasible and Effective?; Can Neuroimaging Be Used to Define Phenotypes and Course of Schizophrenia?; Reliable Biomarkers and Predictors of Schizophrenia and Its Treatment; From Study to Practice: Enhancing Clinical Trials Methods Toward ‘Real World’ Outcomes; Relapse Prevention in Schizophrenia; Antipsychotic Polypharmacy; Cognitive Remediation: Retraining the Brain in Schizophrenia; Peers and Peer-led Interventions; Homelessness; and The Emerging Role of Technology and Social Media in Caring for People with Schizophrenia. Each presentation in this publication includes an Overview, Implications for Practice, with Summarizations of Important Clinical and Learning Points.
