  • Ateliers d'écriture thérapeutique
    • 2nd Edition
    • Nayla Chidiac
    • French
    En raison des règles précises qui l'encadrent – temps, durée, lieu, objectifs – l'écriture en atelier permet de se situer dans une démarche thérapeutique. Aux contraintes codifiées de l'atelier s'ajoutent les règles propres aux genres prosaïque ou poétique de l'écriture, aux consignes de l'énoncé d'un thème, aux modèles, etc. Cet environnement qui instaure un cadre contenant et structurant permet au patient de se sentir suffisamment rassuré et étayé pour pouvoir découvrir, expérimenter d'autres champs de connaissance et mieux se découvrir lui-même en lui donnant accès à sa vie imaginaire.Ce processus, induit par l'écriture, permet à beaucoup de patients, quel que soit leur âge, de trouver un autre moyen que la parole pour exprimer l'indicible et ensuite l'élaborer. Structuré en quatre parties – historique et théorie, indications, exposé des différentes formes narratives et outils pour le thérapeute – ce manuel permet d'appréhender cette forme de médiation thérapeutique qui est aussi une médiation artistique. Du slam à la villanelle, du haïku au cadavre exquis, des tautogrammes aux contes, l'auteur explore la richesse des supports, en en faisant un levier thérapeutique. Un « guide du thérapeute » présente les outils qui permettront d'animer très vite un atelier : déroulement d'une séance étape par étape, nombreuses vignettes cliniques, 315 thèmes à proposer aux participants. Ce livre est destiné aux thérapeutes intéressés par l'écriture comme médiation thérapeutique et à tous les professionnels désireux de constituer un atelier d'écriture. Cette deuxième édition propose un développement plus conséquent sur le psychotraumatisme avec de nouvelles vignettes cliniques ainsi qu'une présentation d'ateliers distinguant les pratiques en individuel et en groupe.

    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).

On the one hand, this book seeks to resolve many of the issues that are debated in existing literature, while on the other, its contributing opinion leaders present current best practice on how to study the questions facing the field of spine control, and then go on to outline the key directions for future research.
