      Face au développement de la médecine et de la santé intégratives, les auteurs apportent un éclairage sur les apports cliniques et théoriques de ces pratiques, de plus en plus enseignées dans les formations médicales et paramédicales et utilisées par les professionnels de santé dans tous les domaines. Ce guide, ponctué de nombreux cas cliniques, se présente comme un outil pratique à destination des praticiens et des étudiants (infirmiers, aides-soignants, médecins et psychologues). Composé de quatre parties, il décrit un grand nombre d’approches psychocorporelles utiles dans une relation de soins : - la 1re partie s’attache à définir les pratiques psychocorporelles, leur place dans le développement de la médecine et de la santé intégratives, ainsi que leur apport considérable dans la communication et la relation soignant–soigné. Elle en rappelle le contexte législatif français pour mieux comprendre qui peut les pratiquer. - la 2e partie présente, en 26 fiches techniques, les pratiques psychocorporelles les plus employées (hypnose, sophrologie, biofeedback, optimisation du potentiel, etc.) : définition de la pratique, utilisation (séance-type), indications, en particulier dans le cadre de la douleur et chez l’enfant, contre-indications et formation. - la 3e partie indique comment développer ces pratiques psychocorporelles, avec un focus sur leurs outils transversaux et des exemples cliniques dans le domaine du soin et de la prévention. - la 4e partie déroule, au moyen de situations cliniques et d’expériences de formations, diverses mises en application de ces pratiques dans de multiples contextes.

      De nombreuses personnes ne peuvent plus s’exprimer par la parole, ni être comprises : personnes aphasiques, laryngectomisées, atteintes de maladies neurologiques invalidantes, d’autisme, ou encore hospitalisées en réanimation… sans oublier les personnes étrangères ne parlant pas le français. La communication est fondamentale dans la relation soignant-soigné : comment entrer en relation avec ces patients, réduire leur isolement, répondre à leurs besoins et les satisfaire ? Face à cette perte de communication orale (et parfois écrite), face à la détresse de ceux qui la subissent, l’auteur a eu l’idée d’instaurer un relais par le moyen de ce petit guide qui présente 140 pictogrammes en couleur correspondant : - à la toilette et au confort personnel (se laver, s’habiller…) ; - aux besoins quotidiens (s’alimenter, connaître l’heure…) ; - aux distractions (lire, regarder la télévision…) ; - à l’état du patient (avoir chaud/froid, être fatigué, avoir mal…) ; - à diverses demandes (vouloir voir sa famille, un médecin, un représentant religieux…). Pratique et adapté à une utilisation fréquente – plastifié, à spirale –, cet imagier est un support de communication et un outil pratique aussi bien pour les soignants que pour les patients et leur famille.
