Abstract

Retrait social, réclusion à domicile, décrochage, claustration, enfermement, sont autant de formes d'un phénomène nommé « hikikomori » au Japon où il est apparu. Ce trouble de conduite consiste pour des adolescents ou des jeunes adultes à se retirer, le plus souvent dans leur chambre, pendant plusieurs mois ou plusieurs années. Ils s'exilent dans un espace solitaire et ne répondent plus aux attentes sociales, familiales, amicales, arrêtant leurs études, rompant leurs liens, suspendant leurs activités. Ils laissent perplexes leurs proches autant que les acteurs éducatifs et médico-psychologiques.Comment comprendre ces ermites modernes, leurs conduites, les causes et les conséquences de leur retrait ? Comment ce retrait est-il vécu par eux-mêmes et par leurs familles ? Comment prendre en charge la détresse qu'il manifeste ?Autant de questions qui tissent cet ouvrage sur le retrait des jeunes, à partir de réflexions de sociologues, anthropologues, psychiatres, psychologues et psychanalystes français et japonais qui ont travaillé ensemble pour repérer, décrire, comprendre et prendre en charge ce phénomène émergent dans nos sociétés.

Abstract

This book focuses on an increasingly current phenomenon in various countries around the world. It offers an interdisciplinary point of view with a broad and, at the same time, in-depth vision of the various aspects that can contribute to better understanding social isolation. The authors, who represent different disciplines and belong to different countries of the world, offer high-profile scientific contributions with new perspectives in the field of social security thanks to the originality of their ideas, theories, research, scientific results and suggestions. Understanding all this opens up new horizons towards the new frontiers of knowledge. "I go out. You want to come? The insulation would be too heavy; desperate and crazy on the deserted streets. To demand a destiny."(Sylvia Plath).

Abstract

À quoi sert le travail social lorsqu'il va à la rencontre des plus marginalisés ? Loin d'une approche médiatique qui caractérise fréquemment les descriptions de ces publics, souvent réduites à la figure du SDF ou du clochard, ici, celui qui est sur le terrain prend la parole pour dire ce qu'il fait et pourquoi. Au fil du texte, des personnes socialement stigmatisées comme exclu(e), toxicomane, prostitué(e), jeune en errance..., apparaissent dans la complexité de leurs problématiques et la singularité de leur trajectoire. En contrepoint, l'acteur de la rue, celui qui va à leur rencontre, se révèle avec son questionnement et ses doutes, mais aussi avec ses convictions et son engagement. L'ouvrage alterne réflexions sur la pratique et présentations de situations concrètes, dessinant les contours d'une forme d'intervention sociale atypique et méconnue : le travail social dans la rue. La réflexion accompagnée par un anthropologue ouvre un débat qui dévoile les nombreuses contradictions dans lesquelles la société contemporaine entraîne le travail social.

Abstract

This advocacy brief, prepared by the World Health Organization in collaboration with various international partners, addresses the growing issue of social isolation and loneliness among older people, which has been exacerbated by the COVID-19 pandemic. It highlights the widespread prevalence and detrimental effects of loneliness on older adults' mental and physical health, and their quality of life. The brief advocates for effective interventions, such as digital and face-to-face therapies, to reduce loneliness, improve social inclusion, and foster age-friendly communities. It also calls for policies addressing ageism and inequalities, and suggests the creation of a global coalition to prioritize this issue. The document is intended for policymakers, healthcare providers, and organizations focused on aging and public health.
