Abstract

Cet ouvrage lève le voile sur les biais que l'on peut rencontrer lors d'évaluations psychologiques, causés principalement par la diversité culturelle qui découle des mouvements migratoires du XXe siècle. Le domaine de l’évaluation psychologique a connu un essor important dès le début du XXe siècle avec le développement de différents tests qui permettaient d’établir un diagnostic. Le principe de ces tests est de soumettre des individus à des conditions standardisées pour pouvoir évaluer leurs performances ou leurs réponses au regard d’une norme représentée par la distribution des performances et des réponses de la population à laquelle appartiennent ces individus. Ces tests ont donc été conçus pour des groupes homogènes et issus d’une majorité culturelle. Mais à l’heure où les flux de population s’intensifient à cause de la crise des réfugiés, des déplacés environnementaux et des demandeurs d’asile, ces tests ne paraissent plus adéquats. Ils échouent à prendre en compte les particularités culturelles et linguistiques des individus alors même que celles-ci façonnent leur vision du monde et leur état mental. Alors, en tant que praticien, comment accompagner ces populations de manière optimale ? C’est la question à laquelle répondent les différents contributeurs au fil de cet ouvrage. La première partie est consacrée à l’évolution du phénomène migratoire et à ses implications. La seconde montre les implications techniques de l’usage des instruments psychométriques, en termes de biais, de niveau d’équivalence, de développement ou de leur usage. Enfin, la troisième partie traite de l’évaluation de différents aspects de la personne en utilisant des instruments qualitatifs ou narratifs.

Jérôme Rossier apporte, avec une rigueur scientifique, des réponses aux questions que de nombreux praticiens se posaient à propos de l'immigration et des défis qu'elle soulève en psychologie.

Abstract

Should African Americans be defined as a race or as an ethnic (cultural) group? If the latter, what role does culture play in their lives and how can it be measured? This groundbreaking book argues that African Americans should be classed as a cultural group, and presents a unique scale for measuring the group's acculturation - the degree of assimilation into the dominant culture. The volume features empirical studies exploring the role of culture and acculturation in African-American behaviour, health and psychology.

Abstract

Culture, Medicine and Psychiatry is an international and interdisciplinary forum for the publication of work in three interrelated fields: medical and psychiatric anthropology, cross-cultural psychiatry, and related cross-societal and clinical epidemiological studies. The journal publishes original research, theoretical papers and review articles on all subjects in each of these fields. Interdisciplinary work which bridges anthropological and medical perspectives and methods which are clinically relevant are particularly welcome, as is research on the cultural context of normative and deviant behavior, including the anthropological, epidemiological and clinical aspects of the subject.

Abstract

What does it mean to "be a man" in different cultures around the world? In the first cross-cultural study of manhood as an achieved status, anthropologist David D. Gilmore finds that a culturally sanctioned stress on manliness-on toughness and aggressiveness, stoicism and sexuality-is almost universal, deeply ingrained in the consciousness of hunters and fishermen, workers and warriors, poets and peasants who have little else in common.   "Gilmore's subtle and illuminating inversion of ordinary understandings-his insight that male sterness, toughness, acquisitiveness, and aggressiveness serve, in circumstances of threat and scarcity, the same social ends as female tenderness and gentleness-has been suggested elsewhere, but never stated so completely nor in so unmistakably masculine a voice. . . . A signal service."-Beryl Lieff Benderly, New York Times Book Review   "The news in this anthropological study is not that so many societies . . . have developed rigid codes of masculinity. . . . Rather, it is that there are societies-on Tahiti and in Malaysia, for two-in which men are encouraged to be passive. . . . All of which, the author observes, causes consternation among Freudians (not to mention apostles of machismo), who have an investment in believing that fear of castration has engendered universal male anxiety over masculinity as something to be earned and steadfastly maintained."-Washington Post Book World "Provocative and absorbing."-Library Journal "An absorbing, well-argued, and finely written study."-Nicola Shulman, Sunday Times "The great virtue of this textbook is to demonstrate clearly that there is nothing natural or inevitable about gender polarity."-Robert Brain, Times Literary Supplement "
