  • Manuel de pratique clinique

    • 1st Edition
    • René Roussillon
    • French
    Ce Manuel de pratique clinique présente une réflexion sur les bases et les concepts fondamentaux de ce qui définit LA pratique clinique dans toutes les formes qu'elle adopte par son ajustement aux situations et objets cliniques auxquels elle se confronte. L'auteur propose d'extrapoler et de généraliser, à partir de la pratique psychanalytique et de sa théorie, ce qui s'applique à toutes les pratiques cliniques qui s'y réfèrent. Ainsi sont passés en revue aussi bien dans leurs formes de base que dans leurs variations possibles : la méthode associative et sa polymorphie ; le transfert et les constellations transférentielles ; les fonctions du dispositif clinique et ses aménagements avec les capacités d'élaborations des sujets ; l'écoute des besoins psychiques impliqués dans le travail thérapeutique et dans le processus de symbolisation ; les formes du jeu de l'intervention du clinicien. Enfin, une approche de l'activité de recherche inhérente à la pratique clinique complète cette démarche. Ce manuel s'attache ainsi à préciser les formes concrètes que prennent les pratiques cliniques dans leurs différents champs d'application. Il s'adresse à tous les cliniciens, psychologues, psychiatres, psychanalystes soucieux d'asseoir leur pratique sur un certain nombre de principes issus de l'apport fondamental de la clinique et de la pratique psychanalytique.

  • Equine Behavior

    A Guide for Veterinarians and Equine Scientists
    • 2nd Edition
    • Paul McGreevy
    • English
    Equine Behavior: A Guide for Veterinarians and Equine Scientists is written for all those who really want to know what makes horses tick. Behavioral problems in the stable and under saddle are of concern to equine veterinarians worldwide because they lead to welfare issues, abuse and ultimately wastage. Equine veterinarians, trainers and handlers must be aware of each horse’s behavior as a first step in detection of problems, whether they are clinical maladies or training issues. As they constantly study their horses’ responses to their environments they are all, in effect, students of horse behavior. Drawing on over 1,000 references, Equine Behavior explores the subject from first principles by considering the behavior of free-ranging horses and considering ways in which management and training influences the responses of domestic horses. All too often veterinarians feel that management of the mental health of equine patients is beyond their expertise. This book addresses many important gaps to enable practitioners to understand how horses can learn to perform unwelcome behaviors and how to change those behaviors where appropriate. The new edition builds on the success of its pioneering predecessor and presents a thorough revision of all chapters to reflect the latest developments in this dynamic field. The chapter on equitation science has been expanded and there have been major revisions to the sections on stereotypic behavior, cognition studies, nutrition and housing. The book remains a must-have purchase for all veterinarians who deal with horses, for equine scientists, trainers and everybody with an interest in the subject.
