  • Stratégies motivationnelles pour le rétablissement

    Un guide pour les professionnels et les aidants
    • 1st Edition
    • Laurent Lecardeur
    • French
    Les projets de rétablissement des personnes concernées par des maladies psychiatriques reposent principalement sur leurs ressources propres, mais aussi sur le soutien de leur entourage et des professionnels qui peuvent les accompagner. Ces projets de rétablissement requièrent persévérance et régularité dans le suivi et l’accompagnement, et motivation de la part de la personne concernée pour poursuivre ses efforts, malgré les échecs ponctuels, les périodes de difficulté et de découragement, ou la réactivation des symptômes. Les maladies psychiatriques peuvent également nécessiter des prises en charge à plus ou moins long terme, selon des modalités diverses (médicamenteuses, psychothérapeutiques... sociales…), avec différents intervenants. Elles supposent, pour qu’elles soient bénéfiques et efficaces, l’adhésion et l’engagement de la personne concernée sur le long terme. Ces problématiques, communes aux pathologies chroniques, sont d’autant plus sensibles que la motivation est altérée dans la majorité des pathologies psychiatriques et laissent parfois les soignants démunis face aux difficultés ou aux échecs de la prise en charge.La question de la motivation est donc centrale pour la réussite des souhaits, des aspirations et des choix de vie du patient et de son entourage, tout en tenant compte des soins nécessaires.Dans un objectif résolument pratique, et après un rappel théorique sur les notions de rétablissement et de motivation, l’ouvrage présente les différentes étapes des stratégies motivationnelles pour accompagner le rétablissement de la personne concernée par un trouble psychiatrique. Il explique également l’articulation avec le projet de soins et le suivi avec les différents intervenants. Il décrit les freins qui peuvent intervenir dans la poursuite du projet de rétablissement (et leurs solutions), en apportant des outils concrets pour aider les accompagnants (professionnels ou aidants), selon les diverses situations et difficultés rencontrées. Chaque chapitre s’appuie sur des illustrations cliniques, des fiches outils utilisables par les lecteurs, des recommandations et des conseils qui, au-delà des réponses immédiates, permettront aux accompagnants de prendre de la distance sur leur fonctionnement et de développer leurs propres outils.Fondé sur l’expérience clinique, scientifique et pédagogique de l’auteur, l’ouvrage s’adresse à la fois aux professionnels de la santé mentale (psychiatres, psychologues, neuropsychologues et équipes soignantes et médicosociales) et aux proches et aux aidants dont le rôle est fondamental dans le soutien au rétablissement des personnes concernées par des troubles psychiatriques.Laure...

    • English
    Neuro-ophthalmologic... Pain: Diagnosis and Treatment is written to address the many problems faced by patients with ocular pain of neurological origin. These patients are often incorrectly referred to ophthalmologists and otolaryngologists to diagnose eye problems or sinus disease, respectively. While these ailments are neurological in nature, the average time between the onset of pain and a visit to a neurologist is 13 years. By this point, many patients have received at least one wrong diagnosis. Additionally, some patients have undergone several unnecessary investigative tests, received improper or flawed treatment, and continued to suffer. Neuro-ophthalmologic... Pain: Diagnosis and Treatment contains information on a multitude of often-overlooked ailments in a single, comprehensive volume, for use by the neurologist as well as for all practitioners looking to guide their patients toward appropriate care. It will provide potentially life-changing information for those with ocular pain with decreased vision, ocular pain with ophthalmoplegia or ophthalmoparesis, ocular pain with papilledema, ocular pain with autonomic manifestations, and ocular pain that has overlap with ocular disorders. Neuro-ophthalmologic... Pain: Diagnosis and Treatment is a powerful tool in helping physicians establish correct diagnoses, so that they may either provide proper treatment or refer their patients to the correct medical specialists.

    • French
    Un aspect crucial de la démarche diagnostique est d’examiner, parmi la multitude de troubles répertoriés dans le DSM-5-TR, ceux qui pourraient éventuellement expliquer le tableau clinique. Après avoir établi cette liste de possibilités, l’étape suivante consiste à recueillir des informations cliniques supplémentaires (à partir des antécédents personnels, d’informations provenant de l’entourage, du dossier médical, de l’évaluation de l’état mental et des analyses de laboratoire) afin de réduire les options au diagnostic différentiel le plus probable, ce qui deviendra alors le diagnostic positif menant à un premier projet thérapeutique.DSM-5-... Diagnostics différentiels aide ainsi les cliniciens et les étudiants souhaitant s’exercer à la démarche diagnostique à améliorer leurs compétences dans la formulation d’un diagnostic différentiel complet grâce à une variété d’approches permettant d’aborder la présentation sémiologique. Il comporte notamment uncadre diagnostique en six étapes, 30 arbres décisionnels pour établir le diagnostic différentiel des symptômes clés et 67 tableaux de diagnostic différentiel à utiliser une fois établi un diagnostic provisoire. En collaboration avec les auteurs du DSM-5-TR, experts en diagnostics et en évaluations psychiatriques, ce manuel a été entièrement mis à jour afin d’illustrer les évolutions du DSM-5-TR. Il inclut deux nouveaux arbres décisionnels (pour les symptômes dissociatifs et les comportements pathologiques répétitifs). Le manuel comporte également la classification du DSM-5-TR, ce qui facilite le codage et fournit une vue générale de tous les diagnostics devant être pris en compte lors de la formulation d’un diagnostic différentiel. Les index alphabétiques des arbres décisionnels et des tableaux dediagnostics différentiels aideront les lecteurs à trouver facilement les informations recherchées. Ce manuel est ainsi extrêmement utile aux étudiants et aux praticiens, expérimentés ou débutants.Michael B. First, M.D., est professeur de psychiatrie clinique à l’Université Columbia de New York, New York, États-Unis.Cet ouvrage a été publié dans sa version originale par l’American Psychiatric Association.
