  • Psychologie positive et personnalité

    • 1st Edition
    • Firouzeh Mehran
    • French
    "Psychologie positive et personnalité est une ambitieuse vue d'ensemble d'un large éventail d'approches de la personnalité. Là où certains ont cherché à réduire le champs des psychothérapies, Firouzeh Mehran nous aide à l'étendre". Robert L. Leahy, Ph. D Président de l'International Association for Cognitive Psychotherapy Héritière du courant humaniste, installée et reconnue aux Etats-Unis, la psychologie positive fait son apparition en France. Courant éphémère pour les uns, véritable tournant dans la conception de la santé mentale et la prise en charge du patient pour les autres, la psychologie positive bouscule la tradition et interroge les pratiques. Une analyse sérieuse et documentée s'imposait sur cette « nouvelle psychologie » : d'où vient ce mouvement ? Quels en sont les précurseurs et les concepts-clés ? En quoi des valeurs comme la gratitude ou l'espoir sont-elles des ressorts thérapeutiques ? Quelles applications concrètes peuvent appuyer la pratique clinique ? Quelles techniques thérapeutiques propose la psychologie positive ? Centrée sur les forces du patient plutôt que sur ses symptômes, prônant l'espoir contre la rumination, la psychologie positive répond à la maladie par une clinique positive de la santé, du bonheur et des forces humaines. En renforçant les traits positifs de la personnalité des patients, elle leur permet de devenir résilients et d'accroître leur capacité de mieux-vivre. À travers un parcours exhaustif, le lecteur découvrira cette thérapie émergente en France et en appréciera l'originalité. Le clinicien pourra extraire des techniques positives qui lui seront utiles dans sa pratique.

  • Le geste suicidaire

    • 1st Edition
    • Vincent Caillard + 1 more
    • French
    Le geste auto-agressif le plus apparemment « bénin » est un signal symptôme aussi important à percevoir que le geste suicidaire le plus élaboré. Il recouvre une réalité humaine complexe, parfois pathologique, toujours potentiellement mortifère. Le geste suicidaire revêt la signification d'un message qui s'est passé de mots mais représente aussi une histoire ou l'étape d'une histoire dramatique. Le geste suicidaire est un véritable trouble en soi, que l'on est en droit d'autonomiser grâce à une syndromique particulière (le syndrome présuicidaire), ses modalités d'installation et d'évolution (la crise suicidaire), sa psychopathologie déclinable selon diverses grilles de lecture, sa composante familiale, voire génétique, sa physiopathologie biologique, ses formes cliniques : aiguë, chronique, secondarité ou comorbidité avec d'autres troubles psychiatriques. Cet ouvrage clarifie tout d'abord les notions et présente l'épidémiologie ainsi que les déterminants biologiques, psychologiques et sociologiques. Une partie clinique expose les liens entre les conduites suicidaires et d'autres troubles : psychoses, troubles de l'humeur, troubles anxieux, troubles de la personnalité. Au sein de cette partie, les auteurs insistent particulièrement sur les populations spécifiques (adolescents, détenus, salariés) et les répétitions suicidaires. Enfin, la prise en charge est détaillée dans sa diversité, du médecin généraliste au service d'urgence : psychothérapies, traitements médicamenteux, importance de l'entourage et postvention. Un chapitre final se focalise sur la prévention du suicide en milieu professionnel.
