Consacré à l’expérience du corps vécu chez les personnes en situation de dépendance, ainsi qu’aux représentations qui peuvent conduire à l’oblitérer, cet ouvrage comporte une part non négligeable de témoignages. Il s’agit de stimuler la réflexion sur la différence entre l’expérience réelle des personnes et celle qu’on leur prête. L’étude du handicap et du vieillissement permet par ailleurs d’interroger les limites de notre tolérance, et de l’expérience même que nous faisons de notre propre corps : comment définirions-nous notre propre intimité ? notre autonomie ? Le corps vécu tel que nous l’éprouvons n’est en effet pas réductible à la connaissance anatomique et physiologique que nous en donne la médecine. Il en va de même de l’image du corps. Cette image est plus qu’une représentation : un mixte entre sensation et représentation. Lorsque nous parlons du corps, le risque de confusion est donc grand. Il l’est davantage encore lorsque le dialogue a lieu avec un soignant et que le corps devient l’objet d’une plainte et d’une demande. On jugera de ces difficultés et de leurs enjeux éthiques à travers des approches philosophiques, sociologiques, psychologiques et médicales. Elles donnent à penser cette conscience incarnée propre à chaque individu qu’est le corps vécu.

Outlines the complex significance of bodies in the late Medieval central Arab Islamic lands. Did you know that blue eyes, baldness, bad breath and boils were all considered bodily 'blights' by Medieval Arabs, as were cross eyes, lameness and deafness? What assumptions about bodies influenced this particular vision of physical difference? How did blighted people view their own bodies? Through close analyses of anecdotes, personal letters, biographies and autobiographies, erotic poetry, non-binding legal opinions, diaristic chronicles and theological tracts, Kristina Richardson brings the cultural views and experiences of disability and difference in the medieval Islamic world to life. This title investigates the place of physically different, disabled and ill individuals in medieval Islam. It is organised around the lives and works of 6 Muslim men, each highlighting a different aspect of bodily difference. It addresses broad cultural questions relating to social class, religious orthodoxy, moral reputation, drug use, male homoeroticism and self-representation in the public sphere. It moves towards a coherent theory of medieval disability and bodily aesthetics in Islamic cultural traditions.

Intellectual disability is characterized by deficits in cognitive and adaptive abilities that initially manifest before 18 years of age. The prevalence of intellectual disability is estimated to be between 1 and 3 out of every 100 individuals in the general population. Most individuals have mild intellectual disability and the cause is generally not identified. A small percentage of individuals have severe deficits and will need lifetime supports. The diagnosis of intellectual disability requires formal psychometric testing to assess the intelligence quotient and adaptive functioning. The mana

Tackling mental ill-health of the working-age population is becoming a key issue for labour market and social policies in OECD countries. OECD governments increasingly recognise that policy has a major role to play in keeping people with mental ill-health in employment or bringing those outside of the labour market back to it, and in preventing mental illness. This report on the Netherlands is the seventh in a series of reports looking at how the broader education, health, social and labour market policy challenges identified in Sick on the Job? Myths and Realities about Mental Health and Work (OECD, 2012) are being tackled in a number of OECD countries.
