Abstract

Cet ouvrage propose des réflexions sur la difficulté mais surtout la possibilité d'être et de vivre ensemble avec soi-même et avec les autres. La clinique de la mondialité pense la place de l'individu singulier dans cet environnement-monde et l'inscription du mondial/global au sein de cet individu. Le vivre ensemble avec les autres se construit à partir du vivre ensemble avec soi-même. Face aux mutations identitaires dans un monde globalisé qui traverse les postures citoyennes et professionnelles, un changement d'échelle d'observation, d'analyse et d'intervention est proposé à partir d'une clinique de la mondialité. La clinique de la mondialité est une posture dynamique transdisciplinaire dans laquelle le clinicien – ou n'importe quel professionnel de la relation humaine – se préoccupe de penser le sujet singulier dans le monde et en même temps de repérer et de prendre en compte ce qui relève du mondial dans les moindres expressions (comportement, geste, parole, symptôme, etc.) de ce sujet singulier. Elle vise principalement à amener le « sujet », le « patient », le « citoyen » à se penser dans le monde en même temps qu'il se pense dans le pays où il vit, dans ses groupes d'appartenance (familles, institutions, etc.), dans la relation interpersonnelle et dans son intimité psychique propre. Car le lit de la clinique a changé. Désormais, c'est au pied du monde voire au bord d'un monde qui s'effondre, un monde qui espère et se réorganise aussi, que le patient attend le clinicien. Être clinicien dans un monde globalisé représente alors un défi épistémologique, géopolitique et éthique. Il convient de penser la place de l'individu singulier dans l'environnement-monde et l'inscription du mondial/global au sein de cet individu, notamment en interrogeant l'influence du monde sur notre psyché individuelle, l'héritage de nos histoires collectives et personnelles ainsi que de nos outils de pensée. Ce livre s'adresse aux cliniciens et aux politiques, aux patients et aux citoyens du monde, ainsi qu'aux étudiants, universitaires et professionnels des milieux socio-judiciaires, éducatifs et sanitaires impliqués dans le travail du vivre ensemble dans nos sociétés plurielles.

Abstract

"Less than 30% of psychologists report familiarity with transgender and gender nonconforming (TGNC) clients' needs. The clients, in turn, report a lack of support in their gender journeys. There is clearly a large gap in knowledge, skill, and competence in this area of practice. This clinical guide aims to fill that gap by providing mental health practitioners with an affirmative approach that emphasizes a collaborative partnership guided by client-driven goals. An expert panel of contributors teaches readers strategies for working with a diverse array of TGNC clients, including adolescents, older adults, parents, and people of color. Client factors, including sexual orientation, religious and spiritual beliefs, and traumatic experiences, are also given special attention. Readers will learn how to address the impact of the injustices TGNC people face in everyday life, work with clients' strengths to enhance their resilience and coping skills, and advocate for their rights to obtain mental and physical health services. Readers will also learn how to negotiate complex issues, such as interdisciplinary care, ethical and legal obligations, and gender-affirming surgeries and medications. The chapter authors draw from evidence-based theories and APA's "Guidelines for Psychological Practice With Transgender and Gender Nonconforming People (PDF, 462KB)" to help readers meet the latest standards of care"--Publicity materials.

Abstract

In Race Otherwise: Forging a New Humanism for South Africa Zimitri Erasmus questions the notion that one can know 'race' with one's eyes, or through racial categories and or genetic ancestry tests. She moves between the intimate probing of racial identities as we experience them individually, and analysis of the global historical forces that have created these identities and woven them into our thinking about what it means to be 'human'. Starting from her own family's journeys through regions of the world and ascribed racial identities, she develops her argument about how it is possible to recognise the pervasiveness of race thinking without submitting to its power. Drawing on the theoretical work of Frantz Fanon, Sylvia Wynter and others, Erasmus argues for a new way of 'coming to know otherwise', of seeing the boundaries between racial identities as thresholds to be crossed, through politically charged acts of imagination and love.

Abstract

What can we learn from those who have turned their psychological crisis into a positive transformative experience? During a quarter-century documenting indigenous cultures, human-rights photographer and filmmaker Phil Borges often saw these cultures identify "psychotic" symptoms as an indicator of shamanic potential. He was intrigued by how differently psychosis is defined and treated in the West. Through interviews with renowned mental health professionals including Gabor Mate, MD, Robert Whitaker, and Roshi Joan Halifax, PhD, Phil explores the growing severity of the mental health crisis in America dominated by biomedical psychiatry. He discovers a growing movement of professionals and psychiatric survivors who demand alternative treatments that focus on recovery, nurturing social connections, and finding meaning. CRAZYWISE follows two young Americans diagnosed with "mental illness." Adam, 27, suffers devastating side effects from medications before embracing meditation in hopes of recovery. Ekhaya, 32, survives childhood molestation and several suicide attempts before spiritual training to become a traditional South African healer gives her suffering meaning and brings a deeper purpose to her life. CRAZYWISE doesn't aim to over-romanticize indigenous wisdom, or completely condemn Western treatment. Not every indigenous person who has a crisis becomes a shaman. And many individuals benefit from Western medications. However, indigenous peoples' acceptance of non-ordinary states of consciousness, along with rituals and metaphors that form deep connections to nature, to each other, and to ancestors, is something we can learn from. CRAZYWISE adds a voice to the growing conversation that believes a psychological crisis can be an opportunity for growth and potentially transformational, not a disease with no cure.

Abstract

"Radical youth work is gaining popularity as a means of teaching adults how, in collaboration with youth, they can challenge dominant ways of knowing. This study uses two particular subcultures, skinheads and punks, to explore how constructions of subcultures in time, language, space, body practice, and identity offer alternative ways of understanding youth-adult relationships. In doing so, it investigates youth work as a radical political process and suggests anew approach to current subculture theory. In Youth and Subculture as Creative Force, Hans Arthur Skott-Myhre interviews six youths who identify themselves as members of either punk or traditional skinhead subcultures. He discusses the results of these interviews and demonstrates how youth perspectives have come to inform his understanding of himself as a youth worker and scholar. Youth subcultures, he argues, have considerable potential for improving relations between youths and adults in the postmodern capitalist world. Drawing on Marxist, Foucauldian, and postmodernist theory, Skott-Myhre uses the subjective formations outlined in his study to offer recommendations for constructing legitimate radical youth work that takes into account the perspectives of young people"--
