      Qu'en est-il de la place et du rôle des psychologues cliniciens à l'hôpital général ? Malgré une présence grandissante à l'hôpital, la multiplication des spécialisations en psychologie, la diversité des orientations théoriques et le polymorphisme des pratiques de terrain rendent la spécificité professionnelle des psychologues difficilement perceptible. Pourtant, la dimension centrale du corps et de ses manifestations – corps souffrant, corps malade, corps désirant – légitime la présence des spécialistes de l'écoute et de la parole en ce lieu. Quel est l'enjeu de leur présence à l'hôpital ? Que peut-on attendre de ces professionnels ? Sur quoi l'acte clinique se fonde-t-il ? Des psychologues exerçant dans différents services de médecine rendent compte du quotidien de leur pratique : la diversité des demandes qui leur sont adressées, l'importance du diagnostic différentiel, le cadre fluctuant de leur pratique, les modalités diverses de mise en œuvre du dispositif de parole, leur souci de collaboration avec les acteurs du soin. Au fil de la lecture, et au-delà des aspects pratiques, le lecteur prend la mesure de la dimension éthique qui oriente la pratique du psychologue clinicien lorsqu'il fait sien l'apport de la psychanalyse. Elle consiste à soutenir la particularité d'une position subjective afin de garantir la présence de l'inconscient dans le discours hospitalier courant.

Any clinician who sees patients with sleep disorders, or in particular any sleep medicine specialist, will find this information enlightening and invaluable, as it discusses the current state of understanding of how sleep affects humans’ waking cognitive functions. These review articles describe the research that has taken place, and the lessons that can be taken away from them, so that clinicians can confidently advise their patients on the functional importance of adequate sleep, and recognize cognitive symptoms of inadequate sleep. Articles discuss such topics as animal and human research on sleep and memory, various imaging techniques to describe brain activity during sleep, and the role of dreams.
