The text offers doctors an evidence-based and reassuring confidence boost when standing at a patient’s bedside postulating a diagnosis or for those panicked and uncertain moments when a nudge is needed in the right direction.

  • Approche systémique des institutions de soins

    • 1st Edition
    • Thierry Albernhe + 1 more
    • French
    L’institution est à la fois un système dans lequel tous les membres, qu’ils soient soignants ou patients, sont en interrelations, dépendant, les uns des autres, de l’organisation fonctionnelle et hiérarchique, ainsi que du lieu lui-même, mais également un cadre de soins pour les patients, qui peut être sécurisant ou, au contraire, contre-productif par rapport aux objectifs du soin. Troisième ouvrage du triptyque consacré aux thérapies systémiques (Les thérapies familiales systémiques et Applications en thérapie familiale systémique), cet ouvrage étend le champ d’application de la pensée systémique aux institutions de soins, plus particulièrement en psychiatrie et en santé mentale, associant, à la réflexion du questionnement systémique, la pratique des soignants de terrain ainsi que des dirigeants d’institutions, rappelant les concepts à l’origine de la systémie, par exemple comment le fonctionnement (ou dysfonctionnement) d’une structure de soins peut impacter la prise en charge des patients. L’ouvrage est illustré de nombreux exemples concrets de situations auxquelles peut se trouver confrontée une équipe au quotidien (que faire face à une personnalité qui perturbe et/ou remet en cause le fonctionnement de l’institution ? Comment construire un projet de soins collectif au sein d’une équipe ? Que peut apporter l’institution au patient en termes de soutien, de sécurité, de repères, etc. ?). Cet ouvrage s’adresse aux psychiatres, psychologues et psychothérapeutes, aux infirmiers et éducateurs, et plus largement aux professionnels exerçant dans le large champ de la santé mentale, qu’ils soient décideurs et responsables d’institutions ou de structures, personnels de terrain s’occupant de souffrance psychique au quotidien. Ils y trouveront des clés pour comprendre la pertinence de la pensée systémique dans les institutions où ils exercent, des illustrations de situations concrètes et vécues, ainsi que des exercices pratiques à réaliser seul et/ou en équipe.
