    • English
    This title is directed primarily towards health care professionals outside of the United States. In this book the author charts the journey of recovery from severe and disabling mental health problems.

It describes the necessary transformation of mental health services into a recovery culture. At the heart of the book are five recovery stories which are a testament to the indomitable nature of the human spirit that enables us to rise above adversity. It is these themes that mental health professionals must engage with if they are to be guides and companions to people on their recovery journeys.

    • French
    Cet ouvrage propose une initiation pratique aux soins infirmiers interculturels, c'est-à-dire à la prise en charge du patient d'origine étrangère. Il fournit d'abord des fondements théoriques en définissant les concepts à l'œuvre dans cette relation interculturelle soignant-soigné (communication, culture, acculturation, identité culturelle, identité du soignant, etc.), puis dans un second temps donne des clés de compréhension pour la prise en charge du patient migrant, en déroulant les situations de soins selon les différents moments de la vie et les classes d'âge, selon les différentes cultures : - la maternité et la naissance ; - l'enfant et l'adolescent, l'éducation et le passage à la vie adulte mais aussi les conduites à risque ; - l'adulte malade et le rapport au corps, à l'hygiène ; - la personne âgée et la mort. L'ouvrage se termine enfin par un aperçu de la pratique des soins infirmiers dans d'autres cultures, à l'occasion par exemple de missions humanitaires.
