This book was released on 2014 with total page 10 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: La possibilité de participer à la vie politique, que ce soit en se portant candidat pour un mandat électoral, en adhérant à un parti politique ou en suivant l'actualité politique dans les médias, est au coeur de ce qui définit la vie dans une société démocratique. Le présent rapport analyse des données sur la participation politique des personnes handicapées collectées dans les 28 États membres de l'Union européenne par l'Agence des droits fondamentaux de l'Union européenne (FRA) et le Réseau d'études européen d'experts dans le domaine du handicap (ANED), financé par la Commission européenne. Les indicateurs relatifs aux droits de l'homme figurant dans le présent rapport montrent que la présence d'obstacles juridiques et administratifs, des processus et des informations inaccessibles et une mauvaise connaissance des droits politiques peuvent empêcher les personnes handicapées de prendre part à la vie politique de leur communauté. La recherche révèle également l'absence de données fiables et comparables concernant les expériences de personnes handicapées ayant participé à des élections dans l'Union européenne. Il est crucial de s'attaquer au plus tôt à ces problèmes, afin de renforcer la légitimité des institutions publiques et de créer des sociétés plus équitables et inclusives, auxquelles tous les membres peuvent pleinement participer.
Download or read book thique et handicap mental written by Joseph Duchêne and published by Presses universitaires de Namur. This book was released on 1997 with total page 266 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Le handicap met à l'épreuve nos valeurs, notre dignité et notre humanité. Nous aimerions qu'à travers ce livre nous puissions nous interroger sur ce que signifient d'un point de vue éthique, socio-politique et psychologique les concepts d'éducation et de rééducation, de reclassement et de réadaptation, d'intégration et de participation à la vie sociale. Ne cachent-ils pas parfois une sacralisation de la société telle qu'elle est et une interprétation trop faible du droit à la différence? Il faut examiner l'origine sociale possible de certains handicaps et le renforcement de ceux-ci par les institutions, l'imaginaire et la culture. L'idée du droit à la différence n'implique pas seulement que la personne handicapée ait une place reconnue dans la société. Elle implique qu'on lui fasse une place dans la sociabilité et que l'éthique ait prise aussi sur la politique, l'économique et les relations humaines. Le département de Psychologie de la Faculté de Médecine et le Centre Interfacultaire Droit, Ethique, sciences de la Santé des Facultés Universitaires Notre-Dame de la Paix, ont mis ensemble leurs compétences pour tenter d'aborder, avec d'autres, ces questions cruciales en matière de déficience mentale.
Download or read book Comprendre le handicap psychique written by Sébastien Muller and published by Champ social Editions. This book was released on 2011-07-16 with total page 239 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: La notion, récente, de « handicap psychique » est aujourd’hui à l’articulation des discours sur la folie, tant dans le domaine médical que dans les champs social et politique. Sa pénétration fulgurante, dans les pratiques professionnelles comme au sein des institutions, a rapidement modifié les perspectives en santé mentale, d’abord sous l’impulsion d’une certaine désespérance. Face à la radicalisation inhérente à la notion de « handicap psychique » et au déclin de la pensée psychiatrique et des modes de prise en charge en santé mentale, l’ouvrage propose en effet de mettre en lumière le nid inextricable de paradoxes où se trouve la folie moderne, coincée entre l’urgence et la ségrégation, la nécessité et l’impossible.

Download or read book PROMOTION DE LA SANTE ET AUTONOMISATION DANS LE CONTEXTE AFRICAIN written by David HouŽto and published by Lulu.com. This book was released on 2014-02-26 with total page 327 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Le terme promotion de la santé en Afrique, près de 30 ans après l'adoption de la Charte d'Ottawa, continue d'avoir des connotations complètement hors du sens que lui confère cette charte. Cela n'est pas étonnant quand on sait que la notion de santé dans ce contexte africain équivaut à la lutte contre la maladie à travers les soins de santé dispensés par des professionnels de la santé dans des formations sanitaires et les hôpitaux. L'évolution que connait le continent depuis quelques décennies est de donner un peu plus de place à la communauté à travers les relais communautaires dans une participation communautaire vidée de son contenu, car le pouvoir n'est jamais passé entre les mains des communautés.C'est au vu de tout ceci que le présent ouvrage à sa raison d'être pour expliquer les fondements de l'autonomisation communautaire et de la promotion de la santé avec leur importance pour la région africaine en proie aux mauvais indicateurs de santé comparativement aux autres régions du monde.

Download or read book Cognitive Remediation Therapy for Schizophrenia written by Professor Til Wykes and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2006-05-02 with total page 336 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Could CRT provide the first structured method of alleviating cognitive deficits associated with schizophrenia? Cognitive Remediation Therapy for Schizophrenia describes the background and development of this new psychological therapy and demonstrates how it provides the first structured help to overcome the thinking problems associated with schizophrenia. In three sections, the book covers the theoretical and empirical underpinning of cognitive remediation therapy and explores its application. Part I, 'The Development of Therapy', provides the historical context and theoretical background to the therapy and emphasizes the value of rehabilitating cognitive deficits. In Part II, 'Improving Cognitive Processes', the process and effects of changing cognition are examined. Finally, in Part III, 'The Process of Therapy', the authors provide a clinical guide to the delivery of cognitive remediation therapy and use case examples to support its efficacy. This book is the first to describe an individual cognitive remediation therapy programme based on a clear model of the relationship between thinking and behaviour. It will be of both academic and clinical value to all those health professionals and clinical academics who want not only to understand the relationships between thought and action but also to intervene to improve therapy.
Download or read book Assessing Mental Health and Psychosocial Needs and Resources written by World Health Organization and published by . This book was released on 2013 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Mental health and psychosocial support (MHPSS) is a term used to describe a wide range of actions that address social, psychological and psychiatric problems that are either pre-existing or emergency-induced. These actions are carried out in highly different contexts by organizations and people with different professional backgrounds, in different sectors and with different types of resources. All these different actors--and their donors--need practical assessments leading to recommendations that can be used immediately to improve people's mental health and well-being. Although a range of assessment tools exist, what has been missing is an overall approach that clarifies when to use which tool for what purpose. This document offers an approach to assessment that should help you review information that is already available and only collect new data that will be of practical use, depending on your capacity and the phase of the humanitarian crisis. This document is rooted in two policy documents, the IASC Reference Group s (2010) "Mental Health and Psychosocial Support in Humanitarian Emergencies: What Should Humanitarian Health Actors Know?" and the "Sphere Handbook's Standard on Mental Health" (Sphere Project, 2011). It is written primarily for public health actors. As the social determinants of mental health and psychosocial problems occur across sectors, half of the tools in the accompanying toolkit cover MHPSS assessment issues relevant to other sectors as well as the health sector.
Download or read book Life Interpretation and the Sense of Illness within the Human Condition written by Anna-Teresa Tymieniecka and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 293 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In medicine the understanding and interpretation of the complex reality of illness currently refers either to an organismic approach that focuses on the physical or to a 'holistic' approach that takes into account the patient's human sociocultural involvement. Yet as the papers of this collection show, the suffering human person refers ultimately to his/her existential sphere. Hence, praxis is supplemented by still other perspectives for valuation and interpretation: ethical, spiritual, and religious. Can medicine ignore these considerations or push them to the side as being subjective and arbitrary? Phenomenology/philosophy-of-life recognizes all of the above approaches to be essential facets of the Human Condition (Tymieniecka). This approach holds that all the facets of the Human Condition have equal objectivity and legitimacy. It completes the accepted medical outlook and points the way toward a new `medical humanism'.

Download or read book The Politics of War Trauma written by Jolande Withuis and published by Amsterdam University Press. This book was released on 2010 with total page 385 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study compares the policies and attitudes toward the health consequences of World War II in eleven European countries: Austria, Belgium, Denmark, East Germany, France, Italy, Luxembourg, the Netherlands, Norway, Poland, and West Germany. It shows the remarkably asynchronous development in these countries of health care financing and treatment for war survivors, and of the patients’ perception of their own health. Using an innovative and multidisciplinary approach, Withuis and Mooij analyze postwar health care in the context of the European political climate at that time.
Download or read book On Our Own written by Judi Chamberlin and published by Dutton Adult. This book was released on 1978 with total page 262 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is a book about psychiatry and alternatives to it, written from a patient's point of view. For too long, mental patients have been faceless, voiceless people. We have been thought of, at worst, as subhuman monsters, or, at best, as pathetic cripples, who might be able to hold down menial jobs and eke out meagre existences, given constant professional support. Not only have others thought of us in this stereotyped way, we have believed it of ourselves. It is only in this decade, with the emergence and growth of the mental patients' liberation movement, that we ex-patients have begun to shake off this distorted image and to see ourselves for what we are- a diverse group of people, with strengths and weaknesses, abilities and needs, and ideas of our own. Our ideas about our "care" and "treatment" at the hands of psychiatry, about the nature of "mental illness," and about new and better ways to deal with (and truly to help) people undergoing emotional crises differ drastically from those of mental health professionals.
