This book was released on 2020 with total page 133 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Cette thèse s'intéresse aux pratiques d'intervention en maison d'hébergement auprès des femmes immigrantes victimes de violence conjugale (FIVVC). L'objectif général de la thèseest d'explorer, à partir de la perspective intersectionnelle (PI), les manières dont lesintervenantes des maisons d'hébergement du Québec, tout en considérant les expériences vécues par les femmes immigrantes en situation de violence conjugale, analysent cette situation et interviennent auprès de ces femmes. Pour la collecte de données, cinq groupes focalisés et une vignette clinique ont été utilisés pour explorer les points de vue de 33 intervenantes de maisons d'hébergement de quatre régions du Québec (Montréal, Gatineau, Québec et Sherbrooke). Une analyse de contenu thématique a permis de dégager deux discours chez les intervenantes sur les expériences des FIVVC : un discours d'homogénéité et un discours d'hétérogénéité. Le premier discours, moins présent que le deuxième, tend à homogénéiser les expériences des FIVVC. Cette tendance s'explique par une vision essentialiste du vécu des femmes,construite à partir de l'axe du genre. L'intervention féministe en violence conjugale -entrée sur la victimisation des femmes et la domination masculine -, largement utilisée dans les maisons d'hébergement, expliquerait cette vision homogénéisante des femmes de la part des intervenantes rencontrées. Des aspects positifs et contraignants de ce type de discours sont aussi soulignés dans cette recherche. Le second discours met en avant une représentation diversifiée et hétérogène des FIVVC. Cette hétérogénéité se base sur la présence d'oppressions structurelles (lois et politiques sociales, racisme, discrimination, non reconnaissance des diplômes) dans les expériences des femmes dans leurs pays d'origine et dans le pays d'accueil. Notre recherche a pu dégager du discours des intervenantes une perception des FIVVC, comme plus vulnérables à la violence conjugale; cette vulnérabilité découlerait d'une multiplicité d'expériences d'oppression ainsi que d'une représentation contraignante de la famille, des croyances religieuses et des communautés d'appartenance des femmes immigrantes. Des enjeux de ce type de discours sont abordés dans cette thèse. Bien que le deuxième discours témoigne de la complexité de l'analyse des intervenantes sur les réalités des FIVVC en général, il se présente de façon désarticulée. Concernant les points de vue des intervenantes sur leurs pratiques, l'analyse des résultats a permis de dégager trois thèmes principaux autour desquels s'articulent les discours des intervenantes : 1) les caractéristiques de l'intervention en contexte interculturel, 2) les facteurs modulant les pratiques en contexte interculturel et 3) les défis de l'autonomisation des femmes. Nous avons relevé de la part des intervenantes une reconnaissance des besoins différents chez les FIVVC en lien avec leurs appartenances culturelles et leurs positions sociales multiples. Des stratégies - surtout de collectivisation - permettent, selon les intervenantes, d'intégrer les aspects culturels et religieux liés à ces appartenances, afin de favoriser l'inclusion, le respect, la justice et la solidarité entre femmes. Divers facteurs modulent les pratiques en contextes interculturels, notamment la langue parlée, la position sociale, le statut et l'expérience d'immigration. Les intervenantes se montrent préoccupées par l'autonomisation des FIVVC. Bien que le « maternage » ressorte comme une pratique courante quand il s'agit d'intervenir auprès des FIVVC, les intervenantes sont critiques à l'égard de cette façon de faire. La défense des droits est aussi une pratique couramment utilisée dans le but de favoriser l'autonomisation des FIVVC. Concernant l'application de la perspective intersectionnelle dans l'intervention auprès des FIVVC en maison d'hébergement, nous concluons que son utilisation favorise les pratiques d'inclusion, car elle considère plusieurs systèmes d'oppression qui se croisent dans la vie des FIVVC. Cette perspective offre des opportunités de développement des pratiques quiintègrent les aspects micro et macro - notamment les aspects identitaires des femmes et les aspects structurels -, ainsi que le développement de pratiques réflexives. L'utilisation de la grille d'analyse de Patricia Hill Collins a permis d'apporter un éclairage sur la manière d'appliquer la perspective intersectionnelle dans l'analyse des expériences et des pratiques des intervenantes auprès des FIVVC en maison d'hébergement. Nous abordons aussi certaines limites de l'application de cette perspective, notamment en ce qui concerne la place que le genre devrait occuper dans l'analyse et dans l'intervention en violence conjugale. Des pistes d'intervention et de recherches futures découlant de nos résultats sont finalement proposées.

Download or read book Spaces and Identities in Border Regions written by Christian Wille and published by transcript Verlag. This book was released on 2015-11-30 with total page 385 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Spatial and identity research operates with differentiations and relations. These are particularly useful heuristic tools when examining border regions where social and geopolitical demarcations diverge. Applying this approach, the authors of this volume investigate spatial and identity constructions in cross-border contexts as they appear in everyday, institutional and media practices. The results are discussed with a keen eye for obliquely aligned spaces and identities and relinked to governmental issues of normalization and subjectivation. The studies base upon empirical surveys conducted in Germany, France, Belgium and Luxembourg.

Download or read book Forced Migration and Mental Health written by David Ingleby and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2004-12-07 with total page 232 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Although forced migration is not new in human history it has become, in our time, one of the world's major problems. In the last few decades, armed conflict and political unrest have created vast numbers of asylum seekers, refugees and displaced persons. This has led, in turn to increasing involvement of professional care workers and agencies, both governmental and nongovernmental. While there is no doubt on the part of helping parties that care is necessary, there is considerable debate about the kind of care that is needed. This book presents a critical review of mental health care provisions for people who have had to leave their homeland, and explores the controversies surrounding this topic. Providing fresh perspectives on an age old problem, this book covers humanitarian aid and reconstruction programs as well as service provision in host countries. It is of interest to all those who provide health services, create policy, and initiate legislation for these populations.
Download or read book Your Mindful Compass written by Andrea Maloney Schara and published by . This book was released on 2013-12-01 with total page 318 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Your Mindful Compass" takes us behind the emotional curtain to see the mechanisms regulating individuals in social systems. There is great comfort and wisdom in knowing we can increase our awareness to manage the swift and ancient mechanisms of social control. We can gain greater flexibility by seeing how social controls work in systems from ants to humans. To be less controlled by others, we learn how emotional systems influence our relationship-oriented brain. People want to know what goes on in families that give rise to amazing leaders and/or terrorists. For the first time in history we can understand the systems in which we live. The social sciences have been accumulating knowledge since the early fifties as to how we are regulated by others. S. Milgram, S. Ashe, P. Zimbardo and J. Calhoun, detail the vulnerability to being duped and deceived and the difficulty of cooperating when values differ. Murray Bowen, M.D., the first researcher to observe several live-in families, for up to three years, at the National Institute of Mental Health. Describing how family members overly influence one another and distribute stress unevenly, Bowen described both how symptoms and family leaders emerge in highly stressed families. Our brain is not organized to automatically perceive that each family has an emotional system, fine-tuned by evolution and "valuing" its survival as a whole, as much as the survival of any individual. It is easier to see this emotional system function in ants or mice but not in humans. The emotional system is organized to snooker us humans: encouraging us to take sides, run away from others, to pressure others, to get sick, to blame others, and to have great difficulty in seeing our part in problems. It is hard to see that we become anxious, stressed out and even that we are difficult to deal with. But "thinking systems" can open the doors of perception, allowing us to experience the world in a different way. This book offers both coaching ideas and stories from leaders as to strategies to break out from social control by de-triangling, using paradoxes, reversals and other types of interruptions of highly linked emotional processes. Time is needed to think clearly about the automatic nature of the two against one triangle. Time and experience is required as we learn strategies to put two people together and get self outside the control of the system. In addition, it takes time to clarify and define one's principles, to know what "I" will or will not do and to be able to take a stand with others with whom we are very involved. The good news is that systems' thinking is possible for anyone. It is always possible for an individual to understand feelings and to integrate them with their more rational brains. In so doing, an individual increases his or her ability to communicate despite misunderstandings or even rejection from important others. The effort involved in creating your Mindful Compass enables us to perceive the relationship system without experiencing it's threats. The four points on the Mindful Compass are: 1) Action for Self, 2) Resistance to Forward Progress, 3) Knowledge of Social Systems and the 4) The Ability to Stand Alone. Each gives us a view of the process one enters when making an effort to define a self and build an emotional backbone. It is not easy to find our way through the social jungle. The ability to know emotional systems well enough to take a position for self and to become more differentiated is part of the natural way humans cope with pressure. Now people can use available knowledge to build an emotional backbone, by thoughtfully altering their part in the relationship system. No one knows how far one can go by making an effort to be more of a self-defined individual in relationships to others. Through increasing emotional maturity, we can find greater individual freedom at the same time that we increase our ability to cooperate and to be close to others.
Download or read book Vulnerable written by Colleen M. Flood and published by University of Ottawa Press. This book was released on 2020-07-14 with total page 850 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The novel coronavirus SARS-CoV-2, which causes the disease known as COVID-19, has infected people in 212 countries so far and on every continent except Antarctica. Vast changes to our home lives, social interactions, government functioning and relations between countries have swept the world in a few months and are difficult to hold in one’s mind at one time. That is why a collaborative effort such as this edited, multidisciplinary collection is needed. This book confronts the vulnerabilities and interconnectedness made visible by the pandemic and its consequences, along with the legal, ethical and policy responses. These include vulnerabilities for people who have been harmed or will be harmed by the virus directly and those harmed by measures taken to slow its relentless march; vulnerabilities exposed in our institutions, governance and legal structures; and vulnerabilities in other countries and at the global level where persistent injustices harm us all. Hopefully, COVID-19 will forces us to deeply reflect on how we govern and our policy priorities; to focus preparedness, precaution, and recovery to include all, not just some. Published in English with some chapters in French.
Download or read book Broken Spirits written by John P. Wilson and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2004-10 with total page 737 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Mental health problems among asylum seekers and refugees are becoming a public issue, but awareness of this problem among the mental health community is relatively low. Although advances have been made in the provision of innovative mental health services for asylum seekers and refuges with PTSD, they are not systemized, and not widely known to professionals in the field. A publication offering practical guidelines for the treatment of torture victims and political refugees does not exist. Broken Spirits aims to bring together the works of the most respected mental health professionals - from the U.S. and abroad - and make available the most current knowledge on complex PTSD, forced migration and cultural sensitivity in diagnosis and treatment.
Download or read book Healing Invisible Wounds written by Richard F. Mollica and published by Vanderbilt University Press. This book was released on 2009 with total page 290 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In these personal reflections on his thirty years of clinical work with victims of genocide, torture, and abuse in the United States, Cambodia, Bosnia, and other parts of the world, Richard Mollica describes the surprising capacity of traumatized people to heal themselves. Here is how Neil Boothby, Director of the Program on Forced Migration and Health at the Mailman School of Public Health, Columbia University, describes the book: "Mollica provides a wealth of ethnographic and clinical evidence that suggests the human capacity to heal is innate--that the 'survival instinct' extends beyond the physical to include the psychological as well. He enables us to see how recovery from 'traumatic life events' needs to be viewed primarily as a 'mystery' to be listened to and explored, rather than solely as a 'problem' to be identified and solved. Healing involves a quest for meaning--with all of its emotional, cultural, religious, spiritual and existential attendants--even when bio-chemical reactions are also operative." Healing Invisible Wounds reveals how trauma survivors, through the telling of their stories, teach all of us how to deal with the tragic events of everyday life. Mollica's important discovery that humiliation--an instrument of violence that also leads to anger and despair--can be transformed through his therapeutic project into solace and redemption is a remarkable new contribution to survivors and clinicians. This book reveals how in every society we have to move away from viewing trauma survivors as "broken people" and "outcasts" to seeing them as courageous people actively contributing to larger social goals. When violence occurs, there is damage not only to individuals but to entire societies, and to the world. Through the journey of self-healing that survivors make, they enable the rest of us not only as individuals but as entire communities to recover from injury in a violent world.

Download or read book Preventing Intimate Partner and Sexual Violence Against Women written by and published by . This book was released on 2010 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Intimate partner violence and sexual violence are significant global health problems and human rights issues. Under the rubric of violence against women the two overlapping issues have received increasing attention. Much of the response to these forms of violence has focussed either on advocacy, providing adequate health and legal services and ensuring safety of victims once violence is disclosed, or on screening for violence in the context of health services. When the word "prevention" is used, it is usually in reference to secondary and tertiary prevention - helping women get out of violent situations and preventing further violence. Little attention has been given to primary prevention - addressing the root causes with the goal of reducing the number of new cases. Recent hallmark publications have called for increased investment in primary prevention. As part of the Global Campaign for Violence Prevention, WHO is giving increased attention to the primary prevention of intimate partner violence and sexual violence. Preventing intimate partner and sexual violence against women: taking action and generating evidence is an important new tool for violence prevention researchers, practitioners and advocates provides a planning framework for developing policies and programmes for the prevention of intimate partner and sexual violence. This guide outlines the nature, magnitude, risks and consequences of intimate partner and sexual violence. It outlines strategies to prevent these forms of violence against women and describes how these can be tailored to the needs, capacities and resources of particular settings. It also emphasizes the importance of integrating scientific evaluation into all prevention activities in order to expand current knowledge of what works. The manual describes interventions of known effectiveness, those supported by emerging evidence, and those that could potentially be effective, but have yet to be sufficiently evaluated for their impact. For instance, school-based programmes to prevent violence occurring in "dating relationships" have been shown to be effective in randomized trials in the USA and Canada. Evidence is emerging for the effectiveness of empowerment approaches which use microfinance combined with gender-equality training or are based on communications and relationship skills training such as the Stepping Stones training package, which has been widely used in low- and middle-income countries. Strategies that aim to prevent intimate partner and sexual violence through reducing the harmful use of alcohol also show promise. A six-step framework for planning, implementing and evaluating such prevention programmes and policies is presented. This document is primarily aimed at policy-makers, programme planners and donors from public health and related sectors who seek to advance the prevention of intimate partner and sexual violence against women. In addition to the principal audience, other interested parties will include those working in other government sectors such as education, child welfare, social care, criminal justice and departments of women or gender equality; advocates from civil society organizations; local authorities; environmental and urban planners; and researchers."
