La société alternative et les jeunes

Les jeunes végètent actuellement dans une condition sociale objective d'aliénation à laquelle la société les condamne. Cette aliénation comporte les quatre dimensions suivantes: l'absence de pouvoir, l'absence de signification de la vie, l'absence de normes d'action et l'isolement social. Que ce soit dans les établissements scolaires, sur le marché du travail ou dans le système politique, les jeunes sont condamnés à l'impuissance. Dans ces institutions, ils n'ont pratiquement aucun pouvoir décisionnel ; on les écoute à peine, dans leurs revendications les plus légitimes. Hs ne connaissent plus le sens de leur vie; ils sont en état d'anomie sociale et ils vivent repliés sur eux-mêmes. Le mode de vie qu'ils ont développé, centré souvent sur le plaisir immédiat, sur des activités d'expression, sur les rapports interpersonnels et sur un détachement de la société adulte, les prédispose à être davantage attentifs à une société «alternative» et à ses pratiques innovatrices. En tout cas, c'est dans ce sens-là qu'ils peuvent trouver un certain espoir d'épanouissement.Nowaday young people are vegetating in an alienated social condition to which society has condemned them. This alienation comprises the four following dimensions : absence of power, absence of a meaning to their life, absence of rules of action and social isolation. Young people are rendered powerless, be it in their school, on the work market or in the political system. In those institutions, they practically have no power of decision ; their most legitimate demands are hardly listened to. They have lost the meaning of their life ; they are in a state of social vacuum and they retreat within themselves. The life pattern they have developed, often centered on immediate gratification, expressive activities, on inter-personal relationships and a distancing from the adult society, predisposes them to be more attentive to an "alternative" society and its innovative practices. In any case, this is how they can find a certain hope of development

Distance

The only way to kill the fleas, Mama said, is to pinch them between your fingers and drown them in soapy water. If it\u27s just plain tap, they swim to the rim and escape, she said. If ther\u27s soap, it gets in their lungs and it\u27s all over

L’Alpabem, une association de parents de jeunes adultes avec des symptômes de maladie mentale chronique

L'article présente les étapes de la création et le fonctionnement d'une association de parents de jeunes adultes présentant des symptômes apparentés à la schizophrénie. On y décrit les impacts de l'association sur les attitudes des familles face à la maladie et l'évolution des intervenants psychiatriques responsables des bénéficiaires. Le rayonnement de l'association sur le plan social est également présenté.This article describes the stages encountered in the creation of an association for the parents of young adults with schizophrenia related symptoms. The association's mode of operation is also studied. The association's impact on the families'reactions to the illness is observed as well as the evolution of the psychiatric workers in charge of the beneficiaries. This article also deals with the social influence of such an organization

Un catálogo de las obras de Isidoro de Sevilla conservadas en distintas bibliotecas españolas en el siglo XVI

The Spanish humanist Arias Montano developed several official tasks during his stay in Antwerp (1568-1575). Montano also collaborated from the beginning in the edition of the complete works of Saint Isidoro de Sevilla. In that period the project had just begun: the first step was to elaborate a catalogue of the printed and manuscript works of Isidoro kept in Spanish libraries. When that catalogue was finished, it was sent to Montano and kept in the printing office of Christophe Plantin. In this article we edit this important document and study the historical and religious context to with it belongs

Non-Suicidal Self-Injury and Suicidal Behaviour in Children and Adolescents Accessing Residential or Intensive Home-Based Mental Health Services

Objective: There is a dearth of Canadian research with clinical samples of youth who self-harm, and no studies could be located on self-harm in children and youth accessing residential or intensive home-based treatment. The purposes of this report were to explore the proportion and characteristics of children and youth identified as self-harming at admission by clinicians compared to youth not identified as self-harming, compare self-harming children to adolescents, and to compare caregiver ratings of self-harm at intake to clinician ratings at admission. Method: This report was developed from a larger longitudinal, observational study involving 210 children and youth accessing residential and home-based treatment and their caregivers in partnership with five mental health treatment centres in southwestern Ontario. Agency data were gleaned from files, and caregivers reported on symptom severity at 12 to 18 months and 36 to 40 months post-discharge. Results: Fifty-seven (34%) children and youth were identified as self-harming at admission. The mean age was 11.57 (SD 2.75). There were statistically significant differences on symptom severity at intake between those identified as self-harming and those not so identified; most of these differences were no longer present at follow up. Children were reported to have higher severity of conduct disorder symptoms than adolescents at intake, and there was some consistency between caregiver-rated and clinician-rated self-harm. Children were reported to engage in a wide range of self-harming behaviours. Conclusion: These findings suggest that youth who were identified as self-harming at admission have elevated scores of symptom severity, self-harm can occur in young children and while many improve, there remains a concern for several children and youth who did not improve by the end of service. Children engage in some of the same types of self-harm behaviours as adolescents, and they also engage in behaviours unique to children

Contextualized analysis of a needs assessment using the Theoretical Domains Framework: a case example in endocrinology

Background: The Theoretical Domains Framework (TDF) is a set of 14 domains of behavior change that provide a framework for the critical issues and factors influencing optimal knowledge translation. Considering that a previous study has identified optimal knowledge translation techniques for each TDF domain, it was hypothesized that the TDF could be used to contextualize and interpret findings from a behavioral and educational needs assessment. To illustrate this hypothesis, findings and recommendations drawn from a 2012 national behavioral and educational needs assessment conducted with healthcare providers who treat and manage Growth and Growth Hormone Disorders, will be discussed using the TDF. Methods: This needs assessment utilized a mixed-methods research approach that included a combination of: [a] data sources (Endocrinologists (n:120), Pediatric Endocrinologists (n:53), Pediatricians (n:52)), [b] data collection methods (focus groups, interviews, online survey), [c] analysis methodologies (qualitative - analyzed through thematic analysis, quantitative - analyzed using frequencies, cross-tabulations, and gap analysis). Triangulation was used to generate trustworthy findings on the clinical practice gaps of endocrinologists, pediatric endocrinologists, and general pediatricians in their provision of care to adult patients with adult growth hormone deficiency or acromegaly, or children/teenagers with pediatric growth disorders. The identified gaps were then broken into key underlying determinants, categorized according to the TDF domains, and linked to optimal behavioral change techniques. Results: The needs assessment identified 13 gaps, each with one or more underlying determinant(s). Overall, these determinants were mapped to 9 of the 14 TDF domains. The Beliefs about Consequences domain was identified as a contributing determinant to 7 of the 13 challenges. Five of the gaps could be related to the Skills domain, while three were linked to the Knowledge domain. Conclusions: The TDF categorization of the needs assessment findings allowed recommendation of appropriate behavior change techniques for each underlying determinant, and facilitated communication and understanding of the identified issues to a broader audience. This approach provides a means for health education researchers to categorize gaps and challenges identified through educational needs assessments, and facilitates the application of these findings by educators and knowledge translators, by linking the gaps to recommended behavioral change techniques
