  • Crise et urgence à l'adolescence

    • 1st Edition
    • Marie-Jeanne Guedj Bourdiau + 1 more
    • French
    Crise, urgence... des mots utilisés par les adolescents eux-mêmes et porteurs de confusion. A travers la sexualisation du corps et la distanciation d'avec les figures parentales, le processus d'adolescence a pour conséquence une fragilisation du Moi de l'individu. Cet ouvrage, écrit par deux spécialistes de l'adolescence, propose des repères d'évaluation pour différencier une crise maturante, celle qui conduit à une impasse du développement et celle qui nécessite une réponse urgente. L'ouvrage clarifie tout d'abord les concepts de crise et d'urgence à l'adolescence puis présente les nombreux aspects cliniques de la crise à l'adolescence (violence, signes annonciateurs, motifs cliniques de la demande en urgence, approche nosographique). Il développe ensuite la prise en charge : 1ère rencontre, suivi téléphonique, évaluation et orientation des soins (ambulatoire, hospitalisation, prescription).
