  • Les personnalités difficiles ou dangereuses au travail

    Identifier les comportements et gérer les troubles
    • 1st Edition
    • Roland Guinchard
    • French
    Il suffit parfois d'une seule personnalité dite « difficile » dans une organisation pour que la vie au travail soit gâchée, que la performance diminue, que le moral et la santé soient affectés. Trop souvent, par peur de juger, de faire erreur, nous n'osons envisager qu'une personne est difficile, nous privant ainsi de la possibilité de faire face efficacement au problème de cette relation nocive. Cet ouvrage permet : - d'identifier, avec des critères simples, les comportements des personnes difficiles, et ainsi de les distinguer des personnes simplement en difficulté ; - de reconnaître les situations induites par ces personnes difficiles, de gérer les situations sans jugement, pour réguler les relations professionnelles ; - de gérer ces troubles de la personnalité dans le respect des individus et de la dimension collective ; - d'appréhender une vérité dérangeante sur les personnalités dangereuses afin de prendre les dispositions permettant de les éviter, pour limiter les dégâts personnels ou aider ceux qui en deviennent les victimes. Illustré de situations concrètes, cet ouvrage offre aux praticiens de l'accompagnement professionnel, aux professionnels de la santé au travail, mais également aux managers de proximité et aux managés, d'accéder à une vision clarifiée du fonctionnement psychique des individus dans leur relation au travail.

    Unter Zoonosen versteht man man Krankheiten und Infektionen, die auf natürlichem Weg zwischen Wirbeltieren und Menschen übertragen werden. Bei den Zoonosen sind alle Gruppen von Infektionserregern vertreten: Bakterien, Viren, Prionen, Pilze und Parasiten. Man kennt heute über 200 Infektionen, die direkt oder indirekt vom Tier auf den Menschen übertragen werden und ihre Bedeutung ist in ständigem Zunehmen begriffen. Dies hat verschiedene Ursachen: Überbevölkerung, Kriege, geographische Veränderungen (Gewinnung neuen Lebensraums durch Abholzung, dadurch Kontakt zu früher verborgenen Erregern), Ausbreitung von HIV, globale Erwärmung, Tiertransporte und Abenteuer-Tourismus.... treten zunehmend häufiger auf.Dieses MiQ-Heft soll die humanen Infektionen zusammenfassend beschreiben und die entscheidenden Aspekte der Beteiligung von Mensch und Tier an der humanen Erkrankung darstellen. Um eine Verdachtsdiagnose zu stellen, sind bei Zoonosen Kenntnisse zur Epidemiologie und Epizootie sowie über die meist komplizierten Infektionswege erforderlich. Darüber hinaus reicht eine Behandlung der infizierten Menschen nicht aus, sondern es müssen auch nach Möglichkeit die Infektionsquellen eliminiert werden. In diesem Heft liegt der Schwerpunkt auf in Deutschland vorkommende Zoonosen, bei denen jeweils ein kompaktes Bild der jeweiligen Infektion erstellt wird.
