This book explores the diverse dimensions of the links between psychology and spirituality. The first section explores the historic evolution of these links, sometimes tense, often polysemous but that nevertheless leave few indifferent. The second section explores how the integration of psychology and spirituality can be fostered to deepen the understanding of sexual abuse, couples psychotherapy and ethics. Lastly, the final section presents three empirical studies. These studies researched the links between psychology and spirituality through the lens of three distinct populations: Vietnamese immigrants, bisexual Christian women and elderly persons. The conclusion underlines the importance of using a multidimensional conceptualisation of human beings and considering the psychological, physical, ethical and spiritual aspects as essential components of being human.00Le présent livre explore diverses dimensions des liens entre la psychologie et la spiritualité. La première section du livre porte sur l'évolution historique de ces liens, parfois tendus, souvent polysémiques, mais qui ne laissent personne indifférent... La seconde section présente comment l'intégration de la spiritualité et de la psychologie peut s'appliquer dans la compréhension de l'abus sexuel, en psychothérapie de couple et en éthique professionnelle. Enfin, trois études empiriques composent la dernière section. Chacune d'entre elles a étudié les liens entre la psychologie et la spiritualité tels qu'ils sont vécus chez trois populations distinctes : des immigrants Vietnamiens, des femmes bisexuelles chrétiennes et des personnes âgées. La conclusion souligne l'importance, voire le caractère essentiel, des dimensions psychique, physique, éthique et spirituelle dans la conceptualisation de l'être humain.

Touch may well be one of the least understood or talked about subjects in the helping professions. A discussion on the importance and ethics of positive, caring, and appropriate touch in professions such as teaching, nursing and counselling is long overdue. Touch in the Helping Professions delivers just that, weaving together scholarly evidence, research and clinical practice from a wide range of perspectives encompassing philosophy, theology, psychology, and anthropology to challenge assumptions about the role of touch in the helping professions. The contributors to the volume focus not only on the overarching roles of gender, age, culture and life experience, but go beyond to encompass canine-assisted therapy, touch deprivation, sacred objects, as well as key ethical considerations. The prevailing lack of dialogue, due to fear of contravening ethical boundaries, has stood in the way of an open and responsible discussion on the use of touch in therapy. Touch in the Helping Professions is a welcome and much needed contribution to the field-a window onto a fundamental need.

This book is published in English. - Cet ouvrage offre un ensemble de données probantes et de résultats cliniques à l'appui du toucher dans le développement physique et émotionnel. Il est structuré selon trois axes : la théorie sur le toucher; la pratique du toucher dans un contexte de thérapie, et les questions éthiques. Il aborde la question du rôle du genre, de l'âge, de la culture et de l'expérience de vie, des sujets comme la zoothérapie, la privation sensorielle, des objets sacrés, et des considérations d'ordre éthique. Les approches variées - philosophie, théologie, psychologie, anthropologie - remettent en question les présuppositions, offrent un contexte historico-culturelprofessionnel, et font appel à des données primaires.  Les collaborateurs soutiennent que le toucher sain et non sexuel n'est pas suffisamment enseigné dans le cadre de la formation professionnelle. Cette absence de dialogue - engendrée par la crainte de dépasser des bornes éthiques, fait en sorte qu'une discussion ouverte et responsable sur l'utilisation du toucher dans un cadre thérapeutique ne peut avoir lieu, alors même qu'elle contribuerait aux balises théoriques de notre compréhension de cet enjeu fondamental. Ce livre est publié en anglais.
