De quels critères disposons-nous pour évaluer la validité d’une opinion ?Lapremière partie de la thèse revient sur les tentatives des approches contemporaines
de l’argumentation de répondre à cette question. Les approches normatives
(pragma-dialectique et logique informelle) évaluent la construction des preuves à
l’aune d’un idéal de rationalité, lui-même garanti par un ensemble de règles quant à
la construction et la formulation publique des arguments. Les approches descriptives
(travaux de Plantin et Doury en particulier) se fondent sur une critique de cette
méthode :en prétendant fournir des évaluations objectives des arguments, les
théoriciens normatifs s’engagent dans le processus argumentatif et, en définitive,
produisent des contre-argumentations et non des évaluations. C’est à l’aune du
problème du statut épistémologique de la preuve en histoire que j’ai choisi d’illustrer
les limites de l’approche descriptive. En particulier, l’oeuvre du critique littéraire
Hayden White se caractérise par une même relation entre (1) un scepticisme sur la
possibilité d’établir des critères de rationalité et (2) un parti-pris descriptif :les
explications historiques pourraient être décrites comme autant de figures rhétoriques,
mais on ne saurait définir un critère permettant d’en évaluer la validité. Comme l’a
bien montré Carlo Ginzburg, le scepticisme de White ouvre la porte à toutes les
dérives négationnistes.
Partant, dans une seconde partie, je propose un modèle d’analyse alternatif. Ce
modèle s’appuie sur la définition de la rhétorique comme une dunamis par Aristote :
une capacité perfectible à porter un regard technique sur les preuves. Il s’agit,
concrètement, de prendre en compte trois points de vues sur la preuve :(1) le point
de vue de l’orateur qui invente ses preuves face à un problème concret ;(2) le point
de vue de l’artisan qui façonne la matière persuasive; (3) le point de vue de
l’auditoire qui reçoit les preuves. L’exercice de ces trois points de vues permet à
l’analyste de juger les choix rhétoriques d’un orateur à l’aune de sa propre
conscience, perfectible par l’exercice, des alternatives possibles et de leur pertinence
en fonction des auditoires concernés. Le critère de rationalité n’est alors pas idéaliste
ou transcendant, il est humaniste (Chaïm Perelman, Emmanuelle Danblon) :il est de
l’ordre de l’expérience acquise.
Dans une troisième partie, j’applique mon modèle à trois ouvrages d’histoire :
(1) Les traites négrières d’Olivier Pétré-Grenouilleau ;(2) La vie fragile d’Arlette
Farge ;(3) The Ascent of Money de Niall Ferguson. Dans chaque cas, j’évalue les
choix rhétoriques des historiens (quant aux usages des preuves extra-techniques et
à la construction des trois preuves techniques) au regard des problèmes
épistémologiques qu’ils affrontent* et des auditoires potentiels auxquels ils
s’adressent. Dans chaque cas, je consacre une partie de l’analyse aux réactions
suscitées par leurs ouvrages. Ce faisant, je peux mesurer le caractère anti-rhétorique
des pratiques actuelles de la critique :le repérage d’une figure de rhétorique
(analogie ou métaphore), d’une forte personnalité ou d’un appel aux émotions
suffisent à disqualifier un argument aux yeux des critiques. En d’autres termes, notre
tradition critique est pétrie d’illusions normatives et, en premier lieu, l’illusion selon
laquelle une preuve pourrait être administrée sans technique. Je conclus en montrant
que ces illusions, entretenues par notre tradition philosophique, nous ont fait perdre
beaucoup de temps dans le développement d’une formation à l’argumentation qui
soit de nature à exercer la dunamis critique des étudiants.

(1) établir la vérité historique sur un sujet à fort potentiel polémique ;(2) exprimer les intuitions de la
phase de découverte ;(3) formuler et justifier une prédiction.

Full textAbstract:
L’histoire de la folie à l’époque moderne s’est souvent articulée autour de deux présupposés historiques, soit le « grand renfermement » construit par Michel Foucault et la libération des fous par Philippe Pinel. Cette construction fait du XVIIIe siècle une période de stagnation dans l’histoire de la folie. Dans ce mémoire, nous démontrons qu’au contraire, ce sont les avancées dans les domaines de la philosophie et de la médecine, conjuguées à l’humanisme des Lumières, qui ont mené au geste de Pinel, qui n’est que l’aboutissement d’une longue évolution au cours du XVIIIe siècle. Pour ce faire, nous utilisons divers traités médicaux qui exposent que la conception de l’esprit et de ses troubles par différents médecins mène progressivement à un traitement plus relationnel de la folie, une évolution qui aboutira logiquement au développement de la psychiatrie. Le tout sera développé en trois chapitres, en commençant par l’exposition des théories philosophiques et médicales sur l’esprit à l’époque moderne. C’est en établissant une vision matérielle de l’esprit que les médecins pourront légitimer leur appropriation de la folie et de son traitement. C’est d’ailleurs ce traitement qui sera au centre de notre deuxième chapitre, qui explore à la fois la nosographie de la folie de l’époque et ses limites. Finalement, nous terminerons en abordant les conditions ayant mené à l’approche relationnelle par rapport à la folie, un traitement humain qui doit son apparition en France à l’évolution du rapport au fou à l’époque moderne.

Full textAbstract:
Face à l’intensification de la charge de travail en Établissement d’Hébergement pour Personnes Âgées dépendantes (EHPAD), il est nécessaire de penser des dispositifs prenant en charge la souffrance des professionnels. L’analyse de la littérature met en évidence le peu d’études consacrées à la prévention et à laremédiation du stress et du burnout dans le soin auprès des personnes âgées. Les approches unidimensionnelles telles que la formation de soignants, les groupes de paroles et les techniques de gestion de stress ont prouvé leur efficacité mais possèdent des limites. Un soutien multidimensionnel global serait-il plusefficace que des soutiens unidimensionnels tels que la formation ou le groupe de parole ? Nous présentons une recherche menée auprès de 38 soignants en EHPAD comparant l’efficacité d’un programme de soutien multidimensionnel ancré dans la psychologie humaniste à des programmes contrôles unidimensionnels sur le stress perçu, le bien-être au travail et le burnout. Le programme expérimental porte sur la lutte contre la souffrance au travail, phénomène multifactoriel et complexe. Il comprend un apprentissage de la relaxation et de la gestion des émotions, un bilan de situation réalisé avec l’Épreuve des Trois Arbres et un accompagnement collectif de création sur les pratiques. L’analyse statistique des résultats montre que le score du bien-être au travail des soignants du groupe expérimental a mieux progressé que celui des soignants des groupes contrôles. L’analyse qualitative et la discussion montrent que le soutien multidimensionnel permet à la personne de prendre conscience de ses ressources et de les développer pour opérer des changements en profondeurIn view of the intensification of the work load in Residential Care Facilities for the Elderly, it is necessary to create measures to deal with the suffering of care professionals. An analysis of published literature brings to light the scarcity of studies devoted to the prevention and remediation of stress and burnout in care work with the elderly. Unidimensional approaches such as care worker training, group therapy and stress management techniques have been proved to be efficient but with limitations. Would multidimensional holistic support be more efficient than unidimensional support such as training or group therapy?This paper presents research carried out on 38 care workers in Residential Care Facilities for the Elderly, comparing the efficiency of a multidimensional support programme based on humanistic psychology to unidimensional test programmes, in dealing with perceived stress, well-being at work and burnout. The experimental programme focuses on the struggle against work place suffering which is a multi-factorial and complex phenomenon. It includes learning relaxation techniques and learning how to deal with emotions, an assessment of the situation using the Three Trees Test, and creative group support in the development of work practices.The statistical analysis of the results shows that the workplace well-being score of the care workers in the experimental group progressed further than that of the care workers in the test groups. The qualitative analysis and discussion show that multidimensional support enables individuals to become aware of their personal resources and to develop them in order to bring about deep seated changes

Full textAbstract:
Cette recherche porte sur la co-construction d'une stratégie pour implanter dans la pratique infirmière une échelle d'évaluation du risque de constipation du patient hospitalisé (ERCoPH). Elle s'appuie sur le Modèle humaniste des soins infirmiers (Girard et Cara, 2011) et sur le modèle d'apprentissage socio-constructivisme (Vygotsky, 1997). Le design s'inscrit dans une approche collaborative (Desgagné, 1997). Les objectifs sont de co-construire une stratégie pour implanter cette nouvelle échelle et d'évaluer l'impact de cette approche sur le développement professionnel continu (PDC) des infirmières ayant participé à cette étude et sur le raisonnement clinique de leurs pairs. Cette approche a permis à un groupe d'infirmières lors de séances d'analyse en groupe (Van Campenhoudt &al. 2005) de modéliser des perspectives pour implanter l'échelle ERCoPH. L'impact sur le DPC des équipes non participantes s'est appuyé sur une enquête avant-après. A partir de l'observation d'entretiens d'accueil de patients hospitalisés et d'une enquête sur la capacité à catégoriser les patients à risque de constipation. L'approche collaborative a entrainé chez les infirmières du groupe collaboratif un développement professionnel, notamment dans leurs capacités réflexives. La co-construction de cette stratégie d'implantation de l'échelle ERCoPH peut être associé à un modèle de transfert de connaissances tel que défini par Fixsen et al. (2005) et Graham et al. (2006) dont le but est de permettre l'intégration dans la pratique de nouvelles connaissances et ainsi réduire les écarts avec la pratiqueThis study focuses on the co-construction of a strategy aiming to implement, in nursing practice, a rating scale to assess the risk of constipation in hospitalised patients (ARCoPH). It is based on humanistic model of nursing (Girard et Cara, 2011) and on the social constructivist approach to learning (Vygotsky, 1997). The research design uses a collaborative approach (Desgagné, 1997). The objectives are to co-construct a strategy to implement this new scale and the impact of this approach on the continuing professional development (CPD) of nurses who participated in the study and on the clinical reasoning of their peers. Using a collaborative approach, a group of five nurses developed, during group analysis sessions (Van Campenhoudt et al., 2005), practical insights to implement the ARCoHP scale. The impact on their CPD was determined through a group interview and a questionnaire. The effect of this approach on the clinical reasoning of the teams was established using a before and after survey based on the observation of patient intake interviews, and to assess the nurses' ability to identify patients at risk of constipation. This collaborative approach led to the professional development of participating nurses, specifically to the improvement of their reflective skills.The co-construction of this implementation strategy for the ARCoHP scale can be associated with the transfer of learning model as defined by Fixsen et al. (2005) and Graham et al. (2006), and thus help close the gaps between theory and practice

Full textAbstract:
This thesis focuses on the role of middle managers in the transfer of a humanistic approach to management, care and services in a physical rehabilitation center.This thesis should interest decision makers and researchers who are paying attention to humanistic approaches to management, care and services. The design of this multi-case qualitative, exploratory and constructivist research includes six cases, representing the six middle managers of the studied organization. The multi-case study allows us to contrast cases of successful middle managers from the ones who were not really able to transfer the humanistic approach in their program. Data production and analysis are done with methods used in grounded theory. Here are the main findings generated by this thesis. Firstly, our analysis reveals that, in spite of top management efforts to disseminate a humanistic approach to management, care and services throughout the organizations the transfer process sometimes clashes against the absorptive capacity of the middle manager within the program. When the middle manager has the capacity to absorb the humanistic approach, often because it is compatible with his profound convictions, this capacity is first expressed through his behavioral exemplarity. In the eyes of his employees, the middle manager primarily represents an embodied example of the humanistic approach through his behavior. Therefore, the behavioral exemplarity of the middle manager came out as a sine qua non condition through which is possible the co-construction of new humanistic care and services practices to be offered to clients of the program. Secondly, our analysis sheds light on the importance, at the beginning of the transfer process, to explain to employees the necessity to adopt a humanistic approach to management, care and services and to recognize existing humanistic practices in the organization. Thirdly, the results bring to the forefront the importance of macro and micro contexts as determinant variables in the transfer of a humanistic approach to management, care and services. Lastly, an intervention model illustrating the key role of middle managers in the transfer of a humanistic approach to management, care and services emerges from the results. The model also includes contextual elements which facilitate the transfer. On a more practical note, the model can guide organizations in the dissemination process of such an approach by providing a rich description of the stages of the dissemination process, the actors involved, the dissemination strategies and the goals of these strategies.

Full textAbstract:
La situation actuelle des institutions psychiatriques en Israël est partagée entre un discours d'orientation médicale mêlée à une orientation de réhabilitation. La question qui guide la recherche est de savoir si la psychanalyse, dans une orientation freudo-lacanienne, pourrait guider la pratique thérapeutique dans un service psychiatrique, pourrait s’écarter du réel de la pulsion, de l’objet a dans le contexte de la vie institutionnelle, pourrait donner des possibilités de rééducation dans la pratique médicale et dans toute l’activité existant dans le service d’un hôpital psychiatrique dans lequel on prendrait en compte le sujet au sens psychanalytique. Dans le cadre de cette thèse, nous essayerons de chercher un éclairage de certains aspects de la vérité de la pratique d'un service psychiatrique, au travers de l’orientation psychanalytique lacanienne, par l'intermédiaire d'une lecture de la pratique et d'entretiens qualitatifs avec les membres clés d’un service de psychiatrie en Israël, et par conséquent ajouter ou ouvrir de nouvelles possibilités permettant de meilleurs soins.Cette recherche nous permettra de démontrer à travers trois présentations de cas, l’usage du discours psychanalytique dans un service psychiatrique de l’hôpital Shalvata dont le lien avec la psychanalyse est étroit. Pourtant, la confusion entre l’approche humaniste et l’orientation psychanalytique y est grande. Quand l'humanisme prend les commandes de la rencontre thérapeutique et que la psychanalyse ou la psychothérapie devient un outil pour réaliser le but humaniste, elles perdent de leur puissance et ne servent plus que comme défense contre l'angoisse. L’approche humaniste est une condition nécessaire mais non suffisante, pour que la psychanalyse soit un discours utilisé pour guider la cure dans un service. Il s'agit de s’appuyer sur le discours analytique, faire du réel une question clinique commune. Notre analyse indique que la psychanalyse appliquée à la thérapie dans un service psychiatrique n’est pas une affaire de cadre, de setting, mais bien une affaire de discours. L’orientation pratique dans l’institution est telle qu’il s’agit de traiter le symptôme du sujet avec respect et de tenter de l’accompagner dans la recherche pragmatique d’une solution plus efficace, qui lui permettrait de mieux s’entendre avec l’autre, de modérer sa jouissance, de mieux s’entendre avec son corps, tout cela à partir des indications que nous donne le sujetThe current situation of psychiatric institutions in Israel is divided between a discourse of medical orientation mixed with a rehabilitation orientation. The question which guides the research is to know if psychoanalysis, in a Freudo-Lacanian orientation, could guide the therapeutic practice in a psychiatric service, could deviate from the real of the drive, of the object a in the context of the institutional life, could provide possibilities for re-education in medical practice and in all the activity existing in the service of a psychiatric hospital in which the subject is taken into account in the psychoanalytic sense.In the framework of this thesis, we will try to shed light on certain aspects of the truth of the practice of a psychiatric service, through the Lacanian psychoanalytic orientation, through a reading of the practice and of qualitative interviews with key members of a psychiatric service in Israel, and therefore add or open up new possibilities enabling better care. This research will allow us to demonstrate, through three case presentations, the use of psychoanalytic discourse in a psychiatric service of the Shalvata hospital, which has a close link with psychoanalysis. However, there is a great confusion between the humanist approach and the psychoanalytic orientation. When humanism takes control of the therapeutic encounter and psychoanalysis or psychotherapy becomes a tool to achieve the humanist goal, they lose their power and only serve as a defense against anxiety. The humanist approach is a necessary but not sufficient condition for psychoanalysis to be a discourse used to guide the treatment in a service. It is about using the analytical discourse, making of the real a common clinical question. Our analysis indicates that psychoanalysis applied to therapy in a psychiatric service is not a matter of frame, of setting, but rather of discourse. The practical orientation in the institution means treating the subject's symptom respectfully and of trying to accompany him in the pragmatic search for a more effective solution, which would allow him to better manage with the other, to moderate his jouissance, to get along better with his body, all this based on the indications given to us by the subject

Full textAbstract:
Malgré l’histoire très récente de la psychologie et des psychothérapies (environ un siècle), le 21ème siècle aura connu une explosion du nombre de psychothérapies. Nous pouvons en dénombrer près de 450 à ce jour (S. Ionescu, 2000). Pour éviter le syndrôme de la tour de Babel où, devant la multiplicité des approches et des langages, la communication était devenue impossible, la nécessité d’intégrer ces différentes approches devient évidente. Quelle serait cette approche intégrative et à partir de quelles influences théoriques cette intégration serait possible ? Un courant intégratif a fait irruption dans le monde des psychothérapies à la fin du 20ème siècle, les thérapies cognitives dites de la troisième voie. L’objectif est ainsi d’intégrer les thérapies dites de la troisième voie dans une approche théorique articulée à partir des éléments comparés. La méthodologie de ces différents modèles psychothérapeutiques est essentiellement comparative. Ce travail a pour vocation de présenter une approche pratique (thèse professionnelle et théorique) permettant d’articuler les différents points communs des thérapies de la troisième voie, intégrant les approches humanistes, constructivistes, phénoménologiques et cognitives. Pour terminer ce travail, en conclusion, une mise en perspective sera réalisée à partir de la théorie du chaos et des systèmes dynamiques complexes non-linéaires. L’hypothèse est qu’un évitement émotionnel peut inscrire l’individu dans une trajectoire chaotique, à partir du postulat que les individus fonctionnent dans une dynamique (existentielle) complexe non-linéaireDespite the very recent psychology and psychotherapy (about a century) history, the 21st century has seen an explosion in the number of psychotherapies. We can count nearly 450 to date (S. Ionescu, 2000). To avoid the syndrome of the tower of Babel, where before the multiplicity of approaches and languages, communication was impossible, the need to integrate these different approaches becomes evident. What would this integrative approach from theoretical influences what this integration possible? An integrative stream broke into the world of psychotherapy in the late 20th century, cognitive therapies called the Third Way. The objective is to integrate the so-called Third Way in an articulated from the elements compared theoretical approach therapies. The methodology of these different psychotherapeutic models is essentially comparative. This work aims to present a practical approach (professional and academic thesis) for articulating the different common therapies of the third way, integrating humanistic approaches, constructivist, phenomenological and cognitive. To complete this work, in conclusion, a perspective will be made from chaos theory and complex nonlinear dynamic systems. The hypothesis is that emotional avoidance may register the individual in a chaotic trajectory, starting from the premise that individuals operate in a dynamic (existential) complex non-linear

Full textAbstract:
The thesis explores what it means to be human; specifically, what characters in drama and theatre reveal about what it means to be human. It also explores what it means to talk about dramatic character; specifically, what the human's various forms .reveal about dramatic character and how such forms interact with critical approaches to character. The thesis, thus, has a dual focus but the human and dramatic character are, in the context of my project, importantly, entwined and mutually enlightening. One of the aims of this thesis is to rehabilitate dramatic character. In doing so, it works to rehabilitate humanist subjectivity, too, albeit of a sort that is modified by hybrid structures of being and identity which are informed by posthumanist discourse. Such a structure, I argue, enables humans to be conceived simultaneously as creators and creations. I name this structure post/humanist. The first three chapters consist of theoretically engaged discussions which present the post/humanist framework underpinning this thesis's arguments for identity, subjectivity, and modern dramatic character. Chapter One claims it is a mistake to view the modern human being in exclusively liberal humanist terms and employs Donna Haraway's cyborg to reveal and argue for its indeterminate post/humanist form. Chapter Two makes the case for this thesis's alternative post/humanist account of modern subjectivity by revealing that the representation of liberal humanist subjectivity as the orthodox form of the modern period may have been overstated. Chapter Three argues for a post/humanist method of analysing dramatic character that conceives it as a structure of natural and cultural parts. Chapters Four, Five, and Six present case studies of the characters of Shakespeare's Hamlet (circa 1599-1601), August Strindberg's Miss Julie (1888), and Sarah Kane's Blasted (1995). Focusing in these three different versions of modern dramatic characters, detailed analyses reveal forms and identities in process in a world - dramatic and real - that/arms character and is, in turn, also formed by character. 3

A un moment de l’histoire où l’émotion se veut l’adjuvant moteur de l’exercice et de l’action publique, ce travail de recherche s’inscrit à rebours d’une conception faisant de l’instantané et de l’événement les modes d’appréhension et d’expression de « sociétés liquides ». Fondé sur une approche critique, interdisciplinaire et humaniste, il étudie le comportement organisationnel dans un monde social lourdement impacté par un « managérialisme » mutilant l’histoire, la culture, et l’identité de cadres dirigeants publics dans les collectivités territoriales. Réhabilitant l’approche biographique comme stratégie d’accès au réel, la recherche met en évidence un « contrat psychologique » fondé sur un « équilibre stable » fruit d’une « double transaction biographique et relationnelle » autour de « l’éthique du bien commun », entre éthique de conviction et éthique de responsabilité. Elle étudie par la suite les logiques d’action qui se construisent aujourd’hui dans les administrations territoriales, où « l’image de l’organisation » comme « prison psychique » fait émerger des comportements allant de la défection à la résistanceAt a time in history when emotion wants to be an auxiliary driver in running local government, this research reverses the concept where snapshots and events are seen as ways of expressing and dealing with "fluid societies." Based on a critical, interdisciplinary and humanistic approach, it studies organisational behaviour in a social world seriously affected by a "managerialism" that is mutilating the history, culture, and identity of managers in local authorities. Reinstating the biographical approach as a strategy for getting to the core of reality, the research highlights a "psychological contract" based on a "stable equilibrium", the result of a "double biographical and relational transaction" which focusses on "the ethics of the common good", the midpoint between the ethics of conviction and responsibility. It then examines the working principles that are surfacing in local government today, where "the organisation's image" as a "mental prison" leads to behaviour ranging from defection to resistance

Full textAbstract:
This Thesis reconsiders the prospects for an approach to global justice centring on the proposal that every human being should possess a certain bundle of goods, which would include certain members of a distinctive category: the category of capabilities. My overall aim is to present a clarified and well-developed framework, within which such claims can be made. To do this, I visit a number of regions of normative and metanormative theorising. I begin by introducing the motivations for the capability approach, and clarifying some of its most distinctive features. Next, I focus on Martha Nussbaum's version of the approach, and identify several problems therein. The most important concerns epistemology, and especially the challenges that constructivist theories pose. The middle part of the Thesis presents an alternative, based on the work of John McDowell, which I argue has superior prospects. Then, I turn to two further problems: that of making sense of the universalistic aspirations of cosmopolitanism, and that of integrating the microscopic prescriptions of ethics with the macroscopic analyses of political philosophy. Using the Aristotelian interpretation of its core framework that I have developed, I conclude that the capability approach can provide compelling answers to important questions about global justice.

Full textAbstract:
Au sein de la périnatalité organisée en réseau(x), entre les objectifs préventifs et thérapeutiques attendus pour les bébés et leurs parents et les vécus concrets, des écarts sont à constater. Nous avons dans cette recherche souhaité proposer quelques pistes de réflexion concernant ces constats : notre démarche en psychopathologie et psychologie clinique s’associe à un positionnement ethnopsychologique, psychanalytique et systémique, pour aborder la complexité de cette problématique.Notre hypothèse est que la compréhension du travail psychique des réseau(x) de soins, ici situés autour de la Naissance, passerait par :1) la prise en compte de l’existence d’un « réseau dans la tête » de chaque protagoniste de l’enfantement, professionnel et parent, en tant que formation psychique spécifique des groupalités intra, inter et trans-subjective de la réticularité2) le fait d’envisager les résistances et ressources propres aux exigences de ce travail psychique en réseau, qui entravent et/ou étayent les qualités dynamiques des processus perceptifs, relationnels et communicationnels3) le principe selon lequel ces processus perceptifs fragilisent et/ou soutiennent les qualités potentiellement préventives et thérapeutiques de cette organisation de soins spécifiques à la mise et à la venue au monde des enfants.4) l’idée que cette organisation des soins se modélise en réticularité pour permettre une adaptabilité des processus psychiques défensifs, groupaux et singuliers plus ou moins conscientisés, face aux émergences et réminiscences mobilisées par le phénomène de la Naissance.Le recueil des perceptions attenantes au réseau périnatal et à la place de chacun au sein de cette organisation, a été effectué selon la méthode ethnobiographique auprès des protagonistes de l’enfantement (familles et professionnels) en Languedoc-Roussillon, de 2005 à 2009, au sein de services d’obstétrique, de pédiatrie et de pédopsychiatrie périnatale. A partir de l’analyse de ces données et de trois vignettes cliniques, sont questionnés ici les élaborations et les processus psychiques participant et procédant des liens institués autour de la Naissance. L’analyse, étayée de certains apports des théoriciens du chaos, aboutit à établir peu à peu un modèle de compréhension du travail psychique propre aux réseaux de soins, dont notamment la périnatalité. Ce modèle propose de procéder par :- l’analyse psychologique simultanée des situations cliniques en cinq focales ; niveau singulier conscient, niveau singulier inconscient, niveau groupal conscient, niveau groupal inconscient et selon les différentes strates du réseau (réseau-dispositif ; réseau local-informel ; réseau de proximité formalisé ; réseau-famille ; réseau-professionnel ; réseau dans la tête).- le repérage et l’instrumentalisation des protagonistes-clés de cette méthodologie ; le référent, le répondant et le préoccupé.Face aux mobilisations convoquées par l’enfantement, chacun et tous, familles et professionnels, mettent en place des processus et des élaborations psychiques propres au domaine de la périnatalité réticulaire, à travers des dynamiques psychiques complexes, où le sujet apparaît de, dans, entre et à travers le(s) groupe(s), afin de permettre une adaptabilité défensive adéquate face aux éprouvés participant et procédant de la mise et de la venue au monde des enfants. Entre exigences et possibilités de chacun et de tous, il s’agit d’un tissage dynamique, entre accordages et désaccordages intra, inter et trans-subjectifs : groupalités psychiques réticulaires, réseau(x) dans la tête, dont les qualités en termes de flexibilité et/ou de rigidification, vont permettre, ou peu, ou pas, les potentialités créatrices de la Naissance, dans des contextes préventifs et thérapeutiquesIn the context of perinatal nexus, there are differences between the preventive and therapeutic purposes set for the baby and her/his parents on one hand and actual experiences on the other hand. In this research, we wish to develop some reflections about these differences, by mainly resorting to clinical psychology and psychopathology approaches, with ethno-psychological, psychoanalytic and systemic views to grasp the complexity of this theme. Our hypothesis is that a better understanding of the mental shaping of network around the birth could proceed from : - acknowledging this mental shaping in network for each and all partners, professional and parent, as specific mind shaping of network in intra, inter and trans-subjective groups. - taking into account the resistances and resources fitted to mental shaping of network, that hinder and/or support the dynamic qualities of perceptive processes that partake and originate in this care organisation and which weaken and/or prop up its preventive and therapeutic potentialities.Using an ethno-biographical method, a data collection of the birth protagonists’ (the families and medical-nursing staff) perceptions of perinatal nexus and the part played by each one of them in it, made in obstetric, paediatric and child psychiatric units, in Languedoc-Roussillon, from 2005 to 2009. From the data analysis and from three clinical examples, were particularly examined psychological elaborations and processes that originate and partake in the established birth nexus. This analysis, made complete with some contributions of chaos theoreticians, leads to a pattern of understanding of the mind shaping in this specific perinatal network. This model suggests to proceed from : - simultaneous psychological analysis of clinical situation in five levels ; conscious individual level, unconscious individual level, conscious group level, unconscious group level and various network levels (system-network, locally and informally network, formal closeness network, family-network, professional-network, mental shaping in network). - the key-protagonists’ identification and instrumentalization of this method; “the” referent, “the” guarantor and “the” involved.Facing thoughts about child birth, everyone (the families and medical-nursing staff) sets up psychological elaborations and processes that originate and partake in specific perinatal nexus, through psychological and complexe dynamics, which emerges the subject “from”, “in”, “between” and “through” human group(s), in order to permit adequate defensive adaptability when facing feelings partaking and originating in coming and bringing into the world. In between the demands and possibilities of each protagonist, a dynamic weaving of thoughts is ranging from being tune to being out of tune : there lies a mind shaping of network whose flexibility and/or rigidity can or cannot much entice, creative potentialities on human birth, in preventive and therapeutic context

The aim of this study was to identify the dimensions of bureaucracy and relate them to existing elements of bureaucratic dysfunction in a unit of state government, under the Criminology, influencing the Quality of Work Life (QWL), considering the approaches humanist and restrictive in the context of General Coordination Skills (CGP) from the perception of crowded servers this unit Public Security. It used descriptive research through a qualitative case study approach, with a sample of forensic experts from the 'Hercílio Macellaro' Criminalistics Institute (ICHM), crowded in the capital, Campo Grande, Mato Grosso do Sul state. The method of data collection adopted for the realization of bureaucratic dysfunction was a questionnaire with closed assertive alternative multiple choice, whose response model consists of four levels of gradation (always, often , seldom , never ), prepared from Maia and Pinto model (2007 ). At another point of the view, the questionnaire was administered presenting issues that addressed elements of QWL proposed by Werther and Davis model (1983 ), adapted for the present study. For this questionnaire, the questions were presented in polarized satisfaction Likert scale, consisting of five alternatives (totally disagree, partially disagree, neither agree nor disagree, partially agree and strongly agree), characterizing the opinion of the participant. The interpretation of the data allowed us to analyze the existence of four elements of bureaucratic dysfunction : internalization of rules, too formalistic, routines and records, resistance to change and display signs of authority. On one hand, the humanistic approach was possible to analyze the survey respondents show noise in communication, both vertically and horizontally, which indicates the need for more transparency and clarity as possible within and between departments and teams in these with superiors, to provide greater understanding between all involved and eliminating conflicts that may occur through misinformation. On the other hand, the analysis of the restrictive approach to QWL in this study allowed us to observe the predominance of instrumental rationality in organizational context of ICHM, since it is geared only to meet your organizational processes based on binomial technique versus production. One can thus consider that the ICHM is strongly connected to the bureaucratic organization model, exteriorized through four levels of bureaucratic dysfunctions. Moreover, as a pretext for the pursuit of efficiency, efficacy and effectiveness, organizational praxis ICHM seems to converge to two models of production: Fordism and Taylorism , which reinforce the restrictive current of the QWL, which seem to confirm the maintenance of the objectification subject in relation to the object, that is, when it was thought that organic being could enjoy the technological development achieved in various sciences , paradoxically, what has been seen is the work as an end in itself.
O objetivo geral deste estudo consistiu em identificar as dimensões da burocracia e relacioná-las aos elementos de disfunção burocrática existentes em uma unidade da administração pública estadual, no âmbito da Criminalística, que influenciam a Qualidade de Vida no Trabalho (QVT), considerando as abordagens humanista e restritiva, no contexto da Coordenadoria Geral de Perícias (CGP), a partir da percepção dos servidores lotados nesta unidade da Segurança Pública. Utilizou-se a pesquisa descritiva por meio de uma abordagem qualitativa de estudo de caso, com amostra constituída por peritos criminais do Instituto de Criminalística 'Hercílio Macellaro' (ICHM), lotados na Capital do Estado, Campo Grande - MS. O método de coleta de dados adotado para a constatação das disfunções burocráticas foi um questionário com assertivas fechadas de alternativas de múltipla escolha, cujo modelo de resposta compõe-se por quatro níveis de gradação (sempre, muitas vezes, poucas vezes, nunca), elaborado a partir do modelo de Maia e Pinto (2007). Em outro momento, foi aplicado o questionário apresentando questões que abordavam os elementos da QVT propostos por Werther e Davis (1983), adaptado para o presente estudo. Para este questionário, as questões foram apresentadas em escala polarizada de satisfação do tipo Likert, composta por cinco alternativas (discordo totalmente, discordo parcialmente, não concordo nem discordo, concordo parcialmente e concordo totalmente), caracterizando a opinião do participante. A interpretação dos dados permitiu analisar a existência de quatro elementos de disfunção burocrática: internalização das regras, excesso de formalismo, rotinas e registros, resistência às mudanças e exibição de sinais de autoridade. De uma lado, a abordagem humanista foi possível analisar que os respondentes da pesquisa evidenciam ruídos na comunicação, tanto vertical quanto horizontal, o que indica a necessidade de mais transparência e clareza possível dentro e entre as equipes nos departamentos e destes com os superiores hierárquicos, a fim de proporcionar maior entendimento entre todos os envolvidos e a eliminação de conflitos que possam ocorrer através de informações distorcidas. Por outro lado, a análise da abordagem restritiva sobre a QVT neste estudo permitiu observar a predominância da racionalidade instrumental no contexto organizacional do ICHM, uma vez que está voltada somente para atender a seus processos organizacionais fundamentados no binômio técnica versus produção. Pode-se, assim, considerar que o ICHM está fortemente ligado ao modelo de organização burocrática, exteriorizado por quatro níveis de disfunções burocráticas. Além disso, como pretexto pela busca da eficiência, eficácia e efetividade, a práxis organizacional do ICHM parece convergir para dois modelos de produção: fordista e taylorista, as quais reforçam a corrente restritiva da QVT, que parece confirmar a manutenção da coisificação do sujeito em relação ao objeto, isto é, quando se pensava que o ser orgânico pudesse desfrutar do desenvolvimento tecnológico alcançado em várias ciências, paradoxalmente, o que tem sido visto é o trabalho como um fim em si mesmo.

Full textAbstract:
This study posits a model of 'rural extension' which begins from humans, not from technology or information. The model has been used to facilitate community development at the village level. The research illustrates the potential of drama and participative forms of theatre as empowering 'action' learning/researching tools to reach people in rural communities, and as a means of involving those communities in creativity and learning about themselves and their environment collaboratively. The writer seeks to integrate participatory approaches with community development and human inquiry, humanistic approaches to education, experiential learning theories, and drama education theories and methods. The central questions which this research addresses are : 1/. What are the functions and the methods of participative theatre (as systemic communication) in the process of social change and development? and 2/. How can these participative forms of theatre elicit whole aspects of local knowledge, that is, tacit/explicit knowledge, facilitate learning and foster critical thinking through grass-roots participation? The ideas were formulated and tested through intensive field experiences with Iranian nomads, Iranian farmers, immigrant farmers in NSW, Australia, and within a number of workshops with different groups of students at Hawkesbury. This includes a critique of rural development in Iran, examinations of rural extension from a critical perspective, drama and theatre as process, learning and conscientization, personal construct psychology, systems thinking, learning through metaphor, action theory, Boal's participative forum theatre theory, and action research. Finally, the study explores drama as a form of systemic communication (that is, dialogue through a number of group activity techniques)Doctor of Philosophy (PhD)

Full textAbstract:
A un moment de l’histoire où l’émotion se veut l’adjuvant moteur de l’exercice et de l’action publique, ce travail de recherche s’inscrit à rebours d’une conception faisant de l’instantané et de l’événement les modes d’appréhension et d’expression de « sociétés liquides ». Fondé sur une approche critique, interdisciplinaire et humaniste, il étudie le comportement organisationnel dans un monde social lourdement impacté par un « managérialisme » mutilant l’histoire, la culture, et l’identité de cadres dirigeants publics dans les collectivités territoriales. Réhabilitant l’approche biographique comme stratégie d’accès au réel, la recherche met en évidence un « contrat psychologique » fondé sur un « équilibre stable » fruit d’une « double transaction biographique et relationnelle » autour de « l’éthique du bien commun », entre éthique de conviction et éthique de responsabilité. Elle étudie par la suite les logiques d’action qui se construisent aujourd’hui dans les administrations territoriales, où « l’image de l’organisation » comme « prison psychique » fait émerger des comportements allant de la défection à la résistanceAt a time in history when emotion wants to be an auxiliary driver in running local government, this research reverses the concept where snapshots and events are seen as ways of expressing and dealing with "fluid societies." Based on a critical, interdisciplinary and humanistic approach, it studies organisational behaviour in a social world seriously affected by a "managerialism" that is mutilating the history, culture, and identity of managers in local authorities. Reinstating the biographical approach as a strategy for getting to the core of reality, the research highlights a "psychological contract" based on a "stable equilibrium", the result of a "double biographical and relational transaction" which focusses on "the ethics of the common good", the midpoint between the ethics of conviction and responsibility. It then examines the working principles that are surfacing in local government today, where "the organisation's image" as a "mental prison" leads to behaviour ranging from defection to resistance

Coordenação de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal de Nível SuperiorIn the present work it is presents a Contemporary Approach Physics for High School. For the construction of this approach, starting point was the hypothesis from what for the development of a scientific culture in the students it is necessary to establish the humanistic dimension and the investigative dimension in the classroom. These dimensions include of contents under the approaches historical-philosophical, social, experimental and technological. Based on these assumptions, It was elaborate a planning didactic planning that, to be structured based on the approach developed in this work, it was called Contemporary Mechanics Approach. For the structuring of this educational planning were consulted seven journals of teaching area of physics and education in science. The search held in publications of 2009 to 2012 selected 56 articles, where at least one dimension of Contemporary Physics approach was developed in the classroom. The analysis of these articles, it was observed that the works were carried out at different levels of education and different contents. From the information obtained by reading the articles selected, it was structured the didactic planning deployed to students the first year of high school. During the application of lessons, They were developed with the students ten activities, where six were performed in the classroom and four were published on the site FISQUIM. The analysis of the activities performed by students and diary excerpts class produced by teacher and author of this thesis, stands out that the contents related to mechanics allow a contemporary approach and these narratives in the daily lesson provide information to the reflection of teaching practice. Similarly, data analysis allowed to infer the site FISQUIM expanded dialogue between teacher and students. How implications for teaching practice, the Contemporary Approach Mechanics demonstrated that, even with the own conditions of school routine, a approach that values the contextualizing and research contributes to the formative process of the student
No presente trabalho é apresentada uma Abordagem Contemporânea da Física para o Ensino Médio. Para a construção dessa abordagem, partiu-se da hipótese de que para o desenvolvimento de uma cultura científica nos alunos faz-se necessário o estabelecimento da dimensão humanista e da dimensão investigativa em sala de aula. Tais dimensões contemplam a abordagem dos conteúdos sob os enfoques histórico-filosófico, social, experimental e tecnológico. Partindo desses pressupostos, foi elaborado um planejamento didático que, por ser estruturado com base na abordagem desenvolvida neste trabalho, foi denominado Abordagem Contemporânea da Mecânica. Para a estruturação desse planejamento didático foram consultados sete periódicos da área de ensino de Física e de educação em Ciências. A pesquisa realizada nas publicações de 2009 a 2012 selecionou 56 artigos, onde ao menos uma das dimensões da Abordagem Contemporânea da Física foi desenvolvida em sala de aula. Da análise desses artigos, foi possível observar que os trabalhos foram desenvolvidos em diferentes níveis de ensino e com conteúdos distintos. A partir das informações obtidas com a leitura dos artigos selecionados, foi estruturado o planejamento didático implementado a alunos do primeiro ano do Ensino Médio. Durante a aplicação das aulas, foram desenvolvidas com os alunos dez atividades, onde seis foram realizadas em sala de aula e quatro foram publicadas no site FISQUIM. Da análise das atividades realizadas pelos alunos e de trechos do diário de aula produzido pela professora e autora desta tese, destaca-se que os conteúdos relacionados à mecânica permitem uma abordagem contemporânea e as narrativas presentes nos diários de aula fornecem informações para a reflexão da prática docente. Da mesma forma, a análise dos dados permitiu inferir que o site FISQUIM ampliou o diálogo entre professor e alunos. Como implicações para a prática docente, a Abordagem Contemporânea da Mecânica demonstrou que, mesmo com os condicionantes próprios do cotidiano escolar, uma abordagem que valoriza a contextualização e a investigação contribui para o processo formativo do aluno.

Full textAbstract:
Nous assistons aujourd’hui à une contestation de l’effort réductionniste par de nombreuses tentatives d’appréhender l’existence dans son unicité âme-corps. Or, la démarche Cartésienne, certes nécessaire aux progrès de la connaissance, ne rend en rien compte de la réalité existentielle. Le sentir olfactif, par son essence symbiotique, apparaît comme paradigmatique du « chiasme » existentiel de l’être-au-monde. C’est donc à partir de ce sens méconnu qu’une double réfutation de Descartes apparaît comme possible : l’odorat, bien que périphérique entretient des relations avec les objets les plus élevés des quêtes humaines et cette aptitude relationnelle repose sur le caractère intégré de cette sensorialité. Essentiellement humain, ce sens, dans son approche cénesthésique du réel, participe à l’élaboration des empreintes atmosphériques constitutives du réel, participe à l’élaboration des empreintes atmosphériques constitutives de la personnalité, de sorte que toute altération de celui-ci peut être signe de pathologie humaine, ce que l’étude de l’olfactique contemporaine peut confirmer. De fait l’odorat, sens de l’imagination, est doté d’une forte puissance symbolique : il est symbole temporel de durée, de l’essence du réel, voire même de l’invisible. Par ailleurs, bien que sens hédonique, il accède à l’esthétique des choses, mais surtout, intimement lié à la durée humaine, il permet à tout homme dans l’instant de la sensation d’échapper à sa condition en retrouvant le temps perdu. Alors une simple effluve est source de retentissement, de jouvence et de félicitéNowadays, the analyzing effort is being questioned by numerous attempts at facing life as a whole that mixes up body and soul. Now Descartes’s analyzing entreprise, however necessary it has been for improving knowledge, cannot traduce our existential reality. The olfactive experience of feeling, as it is essentially symbiotic, appears as paradigmatic of the existential “chiasm” of the being-in-the-world. From this unrecognized meaning, a two-level refutation of Descartes appears as possible : the sense of smell, although peripheral, is in relation with the highest aims of human quests, and this ability to be in relation is based on the characteristic this sensoriality has of being integrated. Essentially human, this sense, in the cenesthetic approach it has of the reality, takes part in the building up of atmospheric prints, which constitute our personality ; so that any alteration of this sense can be signal of a human pathology, which can be checked by studying our contemporary odorous world. The sense of smell, which is the sense of the imagination, is indeed endowed with a very powerful symbolism : it is a temporal symbol, a duration, of the essence of the real, or even of the invisible. Apart from this, although a sense that brings pleasure, it also enters the aesthetic field of things, and above all, intimately linked to the human duration, it allows any man in the instant the sensation is, to flee off his condition by finding the lost time again. Then, a mere exhalation is a fountain of youth, an echo, and thus it is bliss

Full textAbstract:
Cette thèse se propose de démontrer combien un apprentissage hybride en «Ticéitude» (notion que nous avons inventée) peut être source de progrès, de motivation et d’autonomie et aussi de développer l’autotélisme des professeurs et des apprenants, c’est-à-dire une notion de bien être quand on apprend ou quand on enseigne.L’éducation est en train de prendre un tournent de son histoire grâce au numérique. On voit apparaître de nouvelles approches innovantes un peu partout dans le monde. Le défi est de pouvoir améliorer la qualité des apprentissages. Dans l’enseignement des langues et du FLE en particulier, le défi est de taille car il s’agit à la fois de suivre les curriculum en place et d’inventer de nouvelles approches sans choquer les uns ou effrayer les autres. Le modèle que nous avons mis en place et que nous appelons «Ticéitude» s’inscrit dans le nouveau paradigme de l’apprenance et d’un enseignement des langues humaniste. La «Ticéitude» permet de tisser des liens dans le cadre d’un environnement pédagogique riche et diversifié. Il s’agit d’un modèle socio-constructiviste humaniste qui favorise l’apprentissage collectif ou collaboratif; ainsi renforçant la motivation et l’autonomie des apprenants dans un contexte australien, suivant ainsi les différents curriculum de ce pays. L’approche hybride s’est vite imposée à nous comme un modèle à la fois contemporain mais aussi futuriste car elle permet un apprentissage renforcé, voire accéléré. Nous visons dans une société cognitive du réseautage où on peut apprendre ce qu’on veut, quand on le veut individuellement ou avec les autres. La notion de professeur est en train de changer car nous devenons de plus en plus des «coach» ou des «facilitateurs pédagogiques». Le dispositif que nous avons mis en place permet l’apprentissage quand on a envie de le faire, mais avec le guidage du professeur. Le professeur devient alors un allié! Il guide, il propose, mais aussi il participe avec les apprenants sur le réseau social mis en place au sein du dispositif que nous avons mis en place. Finalement, la «Ticéitude» implique l’utilisation des TICE mais de manière humaniste afin que les outils numériques puissent prendre toute leur valeur dans un environnement durable propice à l’apprentissage du FLE en Australie mais aussi dans le monde entierThis thesis aims to demonstrate the effective implementation of a hybrid approach for learning French as a second language with the application of “Ticéitude”, a practical new concept for language learning in the 21st Century. This concept is a process of self-progression that targets the development of autonomy in the learner and for self-motivation, while also developing an autotelic personality, which means a certain “well-being” in the process of learning and teaching. Education is evolving due to today’s fast progress in digital technologies and is changing the course of history. Also because of this fast paced progress, we are currently witnessing new innovative approaches almost everywhere around the world. These challenges imply the importance of improving the quality of learning materials that is made available to the general populace. Our model, which is called Ticéitude, is aimed towards a humanistic approach of learning in the paradigm of “apprenance”. The notion of Ticéitude is to create links in a rich and diversified network. It is based on a socio-constructivist model, which encourages collaborative learning; thus reinforcing the motivation and autonomy of learners. In this instance, the model is based on the Australian context following the different curriculum in the various states and territory of this country. A hybrid approach has been put in place to create accelerated learning, based on the process of self-progression that targets the development of autonomy in the learner and for self-motivation, while also encouraging the development of an autotelic personality. In today’s world, we live in a cognitive society of networking when one can learn whenever or wherever he/she wants. The notion of “teacher” is changing as we focus more about coaching than teaching. The platform, which we created, allows individual learning with the guidance of the coach (teacher); thus teachers becoming more like peers. Teachers provide guidance to the students, suggest new approaches and at the same time participate to the network of a “group focused social learning”.

Full textAbstract:
The scholarly literature has emphasized the strong humanistic tradition that
characterizes the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization
(UNESCO). This study, which draws on archival research and interviews, traces the
origins, features and shifts of UNESCO’s educational humanism from the creation of the
organization in 1945 to the present day, with a particular focus on the concept of lifelong
learning. I argue that the tensions between the humanistic worldview and the pressures
placed on the organization by multifaceted changes in the political economy and the
landscape of global governance in education have forced UNESCO to depart from its
comprehensive lifelong learning approach, while still maintaining a claim of continuity.
Employing Gadamer’s (1975) concept of tradition and Bevir’s (1999; 2003)
concepts of tradition and dilemma and neo-institutional theories that emphasize the role
of ideology and social meanings in explaining changes in organizations, the study
examines the shifts that UNESCO’s educational concepts and programs have undergone
as changing actors continually renegotiated and reclaimed its humanistic tradition as a
reaction to the dilemmas they faced. I argue that UNESCO’s humanistic tradition has
been challenged by competing ideas, in particular the concept of human capital, which
presented a dilemma for the organization, contributing to internal and external tensions.
Each of the symbolic documents that are at the centre of this study – UNESCO’s
constitution, Learning to be (aka the Faure report, 1972) and Learning: The treasure
within (aka the Delors report, 1996) – are windows into the ideological struggles carried
out at their time. They tell us a great deal not only about the beliefs and ideologies of the
actors involved, but also about the “competing” ideologies with which they interacted.
They further shed light on the shifting position of UNESCO in the system of international
organizations and multilateral development.
At a time when the humanistic perspective of education has been crowded out by
the increasing marketization of education and UNESCO faces a severe existential crisis,
this study contributes to the understanding not only of the intellectual history of lifelong
learning, but more broadly of the changes in educational multilateralism over the past 70
years.Education, Faculty of

Après avoir présenté les principales approches économiques proposées pour évaluer économiquement la vie humaine, nous proposons un prolongement éthique et méthodologique à l'approche du consentement à payer. Nous mettons en œuvre une évaluation contingente dans le domaine de la santé et estimons une valeur économique de la vie à partir de la détermination de trois valeurs : une valeur d'individualité (le consentement à payer pour des réductions des risques de décès pour soi-même), une valeur de proximité (le consentement à payer pour des réductions des risques de décès pour ses proches) et une valeur d'humanité (le consentement à payer pour des réductions des risques de décès pour tout être humain). L'introduction de cette dernière valeur dans l'analyse permet de fournir une estimation de la valeur de la vie plus appropriée pour guider l'allocation des ressources publiques visant à sauver des vies humainesAfter presenting the main approaches for valuing human life from an economic perspective, we propose an ethical and methodological development of the willingness-to-pay approach. We use a contingent valuation in health economics and estimate the value of life being made up from three values: an individuality value (the willingness-to-pay for one's own mortality risks reduction), a proximity value (the willingness-to-pay for mortality risks reduction of their close relations) and a humanity value (the willingness-to-pay for mortality risks reduction of any human being). The introduction of this last value in the analysis allows us to provide a more appropriate estimation of the value of human life in order to guide the allocation of public life saving resources

Previous issue date: 2009-02-18This research aimed to bring about essential elements present in the psychological change process that is triggered by the psychological on duty service on the clients; this modality of psychological intervention is characterized by a unique session encounter. One or two meetings afterwards are also possible. This study is based on the Person Centered Approach, developed by Carl Rogers. It took place in a psychological service offered to the staff of a General Hospital in the countryside of S?o Paulo state. It was adopted the phenomenological method with a Husserl s inspiration which is compatible with the epistemological principles of humanistic psychology. It was possible to make an analysis of the elements that were present in the researcher and clients? inter-subjective experiences. This modality of psychological intervention, so called, psychological on duty service, when it is practiced according to the person centered approach, suggests that the professional on duty adopts facilitating attitudes of unconditional positive regard, empathic comprehension and congruency or authenticity. These attitudes constitute the therapist-client relation and they are close in the meaning to the dialogic and mutuality encounter performed by Buber. Four narratives were stated by the researcher from the sessions, based on fragments of sessions from the psychological on duty service, which represent the essential elements of the experience, taken from the process. The narratives enlighted elements of psychlogical nature which suggest the actualization of the self-knowledge potential of the clients, along with the personnal autonomy. The concept of significative psychological change refers to the simbolization process with the meaning given to experiences, from the psychological helping relation. The researcher concluded that a constructive changing process was triggered in the clients in the psychological on duty service context. The elements that facilitated this simbolization process may be these: client s spontaneous search for help, motivated by his feeling of vulnerability the anguish experience promoted; the on duty service proposal that is limited to a single session which encourages the stablishment of an important affective feeling in an intersubjective nature; an authentic emotional availability in the professional, which is visible by the unconditional positive regard, empathy and congruency, that became essential for the important stablishment of a process of psychological growth, when communicated to the client and the fact of being in a mutual relation, in the buberian meaning, allowing that the adequate simbolization happens from genuine talking and listening during the process. The psychological on duty service as a psychological intervention which legitimates client?s emergential demand represents an important alternative for psychological attention in institutions due to its inclusive and innovative clinical psychological proposal.
Esta pesquisa objetivou evidenciar como um processo de mudan?a psicol?gica ? desencadeado no cliente a partir do atendimento de plant?o psicol?gico. Baseou-se nos pressupostos da ACP - Abordagem Centrada na Pessoa, desenvolvida por Carl Rogers. Foi realizada no contexto de um servi?o de plant?o psicol?gico disponibilizado a funcion?rios de um Hospital Geral do interior do estado de S?o Paulo. Adotou-se o m?todo fenomenol?gico de inspira??o husserliana que ? compat?vel com os princ?pios epistemol?gicos da psicologia humanista, possibilitando uma an?lise dos elementos presentes na experi?ncia intersubjetiva vivida nas sess?es de plant?o, pela pesquisadora/plantonista e os clientes. Esta modalidade de aten??o psicol?gica denominada plant?o psicol?gico, quando praticada ? luz da ACP, prop?e que o plantonista adote atitudes facilitadoras de considera??o positiva incondicional, compreens?o emp?tica e congru?ncia ou autenticidade. Estas atitudes constituidoras da rela??o psicoterapeuta/cliente aproximam-se do conceito de encontro dial?gico desenvolvido por Buber. A pesquisadora construiu quatro narrativas a partir dos atendimentos realizados, com base em fragmentos das sess?es de plant?o psicol?gico que representam os elementos essenciais apreendidos. Estas sugerem a presen?a de um processo de atualiza??o do potencial de auto conhecimento por parte dos clientes que lhes possibilitou readquirir a autonomia pessoal. Entende-se, nesta pesquisa, por processo de mudan?a psicol?gica significativa a atribui??o de significados ?s experi?ncias ou sentido ?s ang?stias, a partir de um processo de simboliza??o. Desta forma, as narrativas descreveram o processo de mudan?a num sentido positivo na dire??o de uma simboliza??o adequada das experi?ncias vividas. Concluiu-se que os elementos que facilitaram este processo de simboliza??o foram a busca espont?nea do cliente, motivada pela vulnerabilidade desencadeada pela experi?ncia de ang?stia; a dimens?o temporal, vista como uma possibilidade de atualiza??o da historicidade, por meio da peculiaridade deste encontro intersubjetivo; o estar em rela??o no sentido buberiano - evidenciando a import?ncia da reciprocidade e da mutualidade na rela??o, uma vez que a simboliza??o adequada ocorre a partir da fala e da escuta genu?na de ambos, plantonista e cliente, ao longo do processo; uma disponibilidade emocional aut?ntica por parte do plantonista traduzida por atitudes de aceita??o positiva incondicional, empatia e congru?ncia, essenciais no desencadeamento de um processo de crescimento psicol?gico no qual a busca pelo sentido das experi?ncias vividas ? mobilizada e potencializa um produtivo reencontro consigo mesmo. Concluiu-se, ainda, que o Plant?o Psicol?gico como uma interven??o que legitima a demanda imediata do cliente representa uma alternativa importante de aten??o psicol?gica em institui??es, ao constituir-se em uma proposta inovadora por seu car?ter inclusivo.

Masters in Public Administration - MPAThe historic social and economic inequalities had a negative impact on majority of young children in South Africa. This dates back to post-apartheid era where the development of young children. of some previously disadvantaged communities, has been weakened by inadequate access to health care, quality education, social service and quality nutrition. The present study evaluated the progress made on the implementation of the National Development Plan (NDP) 2030 using a case study of Early Childhood Development (ECO) centres in Site-B Township based in Khayelitsha. To support the notion of "leaving no one behind and universal access to education", the study used a Humanistic Approach Theory Framework and Human Capital Approach to determine the current status of the formalisation of the ECD centres, infrastructure and equipment, basic service delivery as well as safety at the ECD centres in Site-B. The study adopted a qualitative research design using a semi structured face-to-face interview schedules with respondents. Purposive sampling was applied to select the critical case perceived useful for the study. It comprised of 20 respondents, all principals or owners of the selected ECD centres. ECD centres were selected from the database obtained from the Department of Social Development (DSD) and the Department of Basic Education (DBE). From the samples, the study revealed that even though a lot has been done by different stakeholders to support Early Childhood Development, learning centres located in historically disadvantaged areas such as Site-B still face a number of challenges. Key among them are: challenges to comply with the registration process and lack of trained and skilled teachers; inadequate funding to meet compliance standards; insufficient infrastructure and educational equipment and lack of support for ECO safety and security measures and health related emergencies.

Full textAbstract:
Au XVIe siècle en Europe, les divisions religieuses au sein de la Chrétienté se répercutent au niveau littéraire dans des débats polémiques extrêmement vifs où les thèmes du blasphème, de l'hérésie, de l'hétérodoxie et de la déviance occupent une place majeure. Dans ce climat d'intolérance, se construit, difficilement, sous des plumes isolées comme celle du calviniste dissident Castellion (1515-1563), exilé à Genève, puis réfugié à Bâle, une tolérance pré-moderne qui n'est pas celle des Lumières. Les ouvrages polémiques de Sébastien Castellion ont eu tendance à être occultés par ses traductions de la Bible qui le firent reconnaître comme l'un des pionniers de la critique biblique (traduction intégrale de la Bible du grec en latin, 1551, puis du grec en français, 1555). Or dans ces mêmes années, Castellion a subi les attaquesdes calvinistes pour avoir pris la défense de Michel Servet (1553), ce qui se traduisit par la rédaction de l'Historia de morte Serveti, du De Haereticis / Traité des Hérétiques (1554) et d'autres traités publiés à titre posthume (Contra libellum Calvini). Ces textes publiés parfois sous d'autres noms (Martin Bellie / Georges Kleinberg / Basile Montfort) sont plus que des réponses circonstancielles à des opuscules de Calvin ou à des conceptions portées par Bèze. La conception de latolérance qu'ils expriment (sur fond de scepticisme doctrinal, aux dires de ses adversaires) est représentative d'un courant de pensée particulier. La recherche récente a montré que la structure argumentative, grammaticale et lexicale des écritsfrançais et latins de Sébastien Castellion révèle des propriétés originales dont l'analyse aide à mieux comprendre l'outillage mental des contemporains face aux enjeux théologiques et éthiques que posait le pluralisme confessionnel et doctrinal. Une étude lexicologique et sémantique de ces textes de combat réalisée avec l'aide d'outils nouveaux comme un logiciel de textométrie permet de renouveler nos connaissances sur une histoire de la tolérance qui reste très instructivepour l'époque contemporaineIn the 16th century in Europe, religious divisions of christianity erupt in vigorous polemic debates which are fought in literature. The themes of blasphemy, heresy, heterodoxy and deviance become paradigmatic for the political and social changes of the century. In this very special context, a pre-modern idea of tolerance arises in the writings of a few thinkers, like Sebastian Castellio, a former calvinist who veered away from the orthodoxy in Geneva and who took refuge in Basle.The polemical writings of Castellio vanish behind his tranlations of the Bible in latin (1551) and in french (1555), who made of him one of the first critics of the holy scripture. But in the same years, Castellio is violently attacked by the calvinists party for having defended Michael Servetus (1553): a polemic debate on the impunity of heretics breaks out between John Calvinand Sebastian Castellio, who writes his Historia de Morte Serveti and De haereticis / Traité des hérétiques (1554), and other texts which are edited after his death (Contra libellum Calvini) in order to defend his conviction of freedom of conscience. These writings, partly published under pseudonym (Martin Bellius / Georges Kleinberg / Basile Montford) are more then simple answers of circumstance to the texts of Calvin and Théodore de Bèze. They express an idea oftolerance (based on a doctrinal scepticism, as say his adverseries) which is representative for a particular thinking. Recent research has shown that the grammatical, linguistical and logical structure of Castellio's french and latin writings presents a number of original properties. Their analysis can contribute to understand the contemporary mental tools for dealingwith ethical and theological challanges of confesional and doctrinal pluralism. A semantical and lexicological study with a recent texometrical software tool (TXM) allows us to discover new aspects of the history of tolerance, which are revealing for our own century
Im 16. Jahrhundert zeigen sich die religiösen Spaltungen des Christentums in lebhaften polemischen Debatten in der Literatur. Die Themen der Abweichung, der Blasphemie, der Ketzerei und der Heterodoxie werden paradigmatisch für die politischen und sozialen Spannungen der Epoche. In diesem Klima der Unversöhnlichkeit entsteht allmählich der Gedanke vormoderner Toleranz. Die polemischen Schriften des calvinistischen Abweichlers Sebastian Castellio, der in Basel im Exil lebt, werden von seinen beiden Bibelübersetzungen (1551 lateinisch, 1555 französisch) überschattet, die den Nonkonformisten zu einem der ersten kritischen Bibelübersetzer gemacht haben. Nichtsdestoweniger ist Castellio 1553 heftigsten Angriffen der Calvinisten ausgesetzt, da er in seinen Schriften Michael Servetus verteidigt, der kurz zuvor in Genf als Ketzer verbrannt worden ist. Die heftige Polemik zwischen Johannes Calvin und Sebastian Castellio äussert sich in seinen Schriften Historia de Morte Serveti und De haereticis / Traité des hérétiques (1554), sowie in anderen Texten, die posthum veröffentlicht werden (Contra libellum Calvini). Diese Texte, die teilweise unter einem Pseudonym erscheinen (Martinus Bellius / Georges Kleinberg / Basilius Montfort), sind mehr als nur anlassbezogene Antworten auf die doktrinären Schriften Calvins und Theodor Bezas. Die Konzeption der Toleranz, die Castellio darin entwickelt, und die sich laut seinenGegnern auf einen Skeptizismus gegenüber den konfessionellen Lehren gründet, ist repräsentativ für ein besonderes Menschen- und Weltbild. Die jüngste Forschung hat aufgezeigt, dass die grammatikalische, argumentative und lexikalische Struktur des Texte Sebastian Castellios einzigartige Eigenheiten besitzt, deren Analyse zu einem besseren Verständnis der „geistigen Werkzeuge“ der Zeitgenossen angesichts der theologischen und ethischen Umwälzungen der konfessionellen Epoche beitragen kann. Die semantische und lexikologische Untersuchung der Kampfschriften Castellios anhand einer neuen Software für Textometrie (TXM) wirft ein neues Licht auf die Geschichte der Toleranz, die für unsere Epoche wegweisend ist

Full textAbstract:
Alternative Provision, as a sector, is well positioned to offer a remarkable opportunity to cultivate a young person’s humanity through care and challenge. Where practitioners embrace responsibility for young people and their environment, and honour context and complexity, they can mobilise the present as a rich source of possibility and agency. There needs to be a clear understanding of the contribution that Alternative Provision can make to young people’s lives and how this relates to practice and policy perceptions of effectiveness. Yet because it is difficult to know, track, manage and regulate, Alternative Provision remains largely uninspected and unregulated, with lack of clarity in purpose holding back the potential to inspire change in pupil perception and experience. On top of these issues, schools face the challenge of being held directly accountable for Alternative Provision they commission for their pupils, and responsible for ensuring that it is suitable, safe and effective. Research into current practice and theory is needed to help schools and policy makers fulfil their mandates at a time when policy makers are at the cusp of re-designing the field. At these key beginnings of re-design for Alternative Provision in England, this ethnographic study offers to fill that research gap through a conceptualisation of practitioner approaches in one Alternative Provision site over an academic year, that led to pupil well-being, a sense of belonging and further training or employment. These outcomes, alongside the practitioner approaches of mutually transforming empathic engagement and mission, I argue, are central to sound thinking about Alternative Provision. The process involved – licensed chaos – with its authorised release of pupils into play, immersion, risk taking and ownership, is presented as one way of embodying this journey and is offered here as a model of process on which other schools could build their own. Methodological contributions are made through the exploration of life writing as ontology and as a way of communicating the ever-present realities for many pupils attending Alternative Provision. Critical reflection and acknowledgement of the researcher’s role and transformation through the research process is shared. Reciprocal virtual ethnography is explored and put forward as an effective means of researching young people in Alternative Provision. This thesis tells a story of lives and learning that further humanises and empowers the field of Alternative Provision and its commissioning schools.

Full textAbstract:
This dissertation argues that Eastern Orthodox theology is a framework for multidimensional social change or improvement and can inform, and be informed by the multi-disciplinary social science field of development studies. This claim will be examined by analyzing the Trinitarian theology of the Orthodox theologian Dumitru Staniloae in relation to the writings of Nobel Economist Amartya Sen and his ‘capability approach’. The argument begins by justifying EO’s interaction with development studies based on her anthropological optimism. Critical is that supernatural revelation stands very close to and builds on natural revelation. A Trinitarian theological anthropology then provides a rationale for, and integration of, three key concepts in the social sciences: agency, solidarity, and structures. This analytical framework is then used to assess the challenges of post-Communist contexts, where most Orthodox live. The Communist downfall, it is argued, involved a failure to incorporate each of these dimensions in human development. This analysis then serves to test the adequacy of, and reveal weaknesses in, Amartya Sen’s freedom-focused social evaluation framework known as the capability approach. The dissertation proceeds with examining Orthodox salvation as movement from Being, to Well-being, to Eternal-being where Well-being is, notably, the exercise of agency to develop the potentials given in Being. Agency is not individualistic, but is structured into the virtues of solidarity and incorporates the related notion of phronesis (practical reason). The virtue tradition is then postulated as a promising link between theology and development studies. The virtue tradition is analyzed in its classical background, modern human development, as well as both Protestantism and Catholicism to facilitate a comparison with Eastern Orthodoxy. This analysis shows that Orthodoxy offers a theological framework for human development in that she gives priority of practical reason to contemplation, makes virtually no separation between grace and nature, and provides a relevant method for synergizing salvation history with action on behalf of human development.

Full textAbstract:
Il est quasiment devenu un lieu commun aujourd’hui de mourir à l’hôpital. Et s’il fallait traiter ce sujet, le plus souvent c’est la perspective médicale qui tenterait d’en percevoir les enjeux. C’est au tournant du milieu du XXème siècle, au lendemain d’un énième génocide, marquant l’esprit de l’humanité certainement pour l’éternité, qu’un nouveau langage bioéthique va se faire le vecteur d’une considération renouvelée de la personne. L’homme devient personne humaine dans les textes internationaux proclamant dès lors d’inédits droits de l’homme. C’est en prenant la bioéthique comme objet de réflexion qu’un certain droit de la santé, largement inspiré par la production de comités d’éthiques, a émergé d’une doctrine privatiste en premier, afin de cerner de premiers droits définissant celui qu’il serait convenu d’appeler alors le mourant. Toutefois, l’établissement public de santé confronté à la technologisation médicale, permettant alors un allongement de la fin de vie, s’est rapidement trouvé être un lieu de conflit entre ceux qui furent considérés comme des usagers de service public, et les commettants médecins de l’Etat. La primauté du droit privé de la personne semblait alors menacée, le droit administratif prenant le pouvoir afin d’indemniser les victimes de l’hôpital. Cependant, à force de réductions systématiques ne regardant la personne mourante que sous un angle génériciste, relevant d’un droit public, celle-ci s’est progressivement retrouvée parfaitement ignorée en son essence première que le droit privé parvenait à percevoir. Les formes les plus récentes de déresponsabilisation attesteraient d’une consécration de l’indemnisation finissant d’objectiviser l’être sous-jacent à la personne mourante, allant jusqu’à justifier l’acte euthanasique. L’approche réitérée de ce difficile objet d’étude trouverait à générer une réflexion que le philosophe du droit engagerait, réintroduisant la personne irréductible se manifestant comme point de départ et d’arrivée, de telle sorte que se pourrait être harmonisée la rencontre inévitable des domaines public et privé, juridique et politique, afin de rendre toute sa vérité onto-axiologique aux droits premiers du sujet mourantToday, dying at hospital is the most curently idea agreed in order to protect people. That’s maybe the reason why medical studies took this as an issue more than lawyer studies. It’s around the middle of the twentieth century, after one more genocide, marking the spirit of the humanity certainly for all eternity, that a new bioethical language is going to be made the vector of a consideration renewed by the person. The man becomes a human-person in the international texts, proclaiming from then on of unpublished works human rights. While taking the bioethics as object of reflection a certain health law, widely inspired by the production of committees of ethics, emerged from a privatiste doctrine in the first one, to encircle first rights of the one that it would have been advisable to call then the dying. However, the public institution of health confronted with the medical technologisation, allowing then an extension of the end of life, quickly was to be a place of conflict between those who were then considered as users of public service, and principals doctors of the State. The superiority of the private law of the person seemed then threatened, the administrative law taking the power to indemnify the victims of the hospital. However, by means of systematic reductions looking at the dying person only under an angle génériciste, recovering from a public law, this one gradually found itself perfectly ignored in the first essence which the private law succeeded in perceiving. The most recent forms of deresponsabilisation would give evidence of a consecration of the compensation stopping an objectivisation the underlying being to the dying, going person to justify the euthanasic act. The approach repeated by this difficult object of study would find to generate a reflection which the philosopher of the right(law) would engage, reintroducing the person inflexible as point of departure and arrival, so that could be harmonized the inevitable meeting of the public and private, legal and political domains, to return all its onto-axiological truth to the first rights of the dying subject

Full textAbstract:
This essay aims to examine Martha Nussbaum's proposal for a classical defense of reform in liberal education and her critique of utility thinking in higher education. I want to explore how Nussbaum uses history to create an ethical alternative that cultivates both moral and intellectual virtues, which she considers to be crucial for the survival of democracy. In examining Nussbaum's use of Aristotle, I focus on her work as a proposal for institutional implementation of an Aristotelian epistemology and the cultivation of the individual as an ethical political subject. This study highlights the epistemological, educational and political ideas that form the basis of Nussbaum's ideals. I intend, however, to go beyond a contextualizing reading and thus establish a dialogue with a radical intersubjectivity to respond to Nussbaum's ambitions to recognize human vulnerabilities as assets for reason. From this perspective, I problematise Nussbaum's aspirations for reform and argue that she maintains a loyalty to an ideal that stands in contrast to the possibilities for epistemological and thus ethical political change.

Full textAbstract:
Critical and enduring questions for teachers are whose ethics or what ethics they should be teaching in schools and how, given the pluralism of the wider society. The focus of this study is to establish whether it is possible to identify a common, non-relativist basis for what should be taught in Ethics Education and then to consider how such an approach might best be undertaken. This task involves finding some basis for ethics that we all have reason to accept and requires an understanding of the nature of moral development and learning. An interdisciplinary approach has been undertaken to investigate whether it is possible to find a common basis for ethics and to determine what constitutes the nature of moral development and learning. In the first instance, this interdisciplinary approach has been used to investigate whether there is justification for believing that as human beings we share certain characteristics and patterns of behaviour, or a common humanity, the features of which might suggest a common basis for ethics that we all have reason to accept. This investigation examines empirical findings and theoretical conclusions relating to the sociobiological, psychosocial and sociocultural dimensions of human beings to support the notion that we share a common humanity which is characterised by a number of features. These features include the deeply reciprocal nature of our relationships with one another and the sociocultural nature of our moral learnings. Moreover, we are a highly interdependent social species whose survival and well-being are dependent not only on cooperation with one another but also with sustaining a satisfactory ecological balance with other forms of life within dynamic, natural systems. This interdependence suggests that the norm of having care for one another and our world is one that we all have reason to accept. This norm, in turn, suggests a telos, or set of goals for ethics, that involve the creation of a just and caring society. However, in order to realise such a telos for ethics it is necessary to provide some specific theoretical and practical guidelines related to deciding what constitutes the nature and scope of care within specific contexts. Accordingly, the study undertakes a brief review of contemporary approaches to ethics to evaluate the extent to which these provide a means for realising the ethical form of life based in the norm of having care for one another and our world. This review suggests that feminist theories of care provide the most promising basis for delineating what it is to care for one another and our world. However, it is also acknowledged that there are a number of limitations with existing theories of care. This study, therefore, undertakes a conceptual analysis of the nature and scope of care and outlines an extended ethic of care. This theorising recognises that care for others is characterised by the dimensions of responsiveness, the exercise of responsible action and is refined and amended by critical reflection. It is acknowledged that justice is intrinsic to the nature of care as is the exercise of a range of virtues. The scope of our caring responsibilities is seen to extend to all others in the global community, as well as all other species, while also requiring care for self, and care for particular others for whom we may have special familial or work-related responsibilities. The evaluation of what constitutes caring practice is also discussed and it is acknowledged that caring practices must meet minimum requirements in terms of respect for basic human rights and should contribute to the welfare and well-being of the recipients of care. This specification of the nature and scope of care, in conjunction with a consideration of the nature of moral learning and development, provides a basis from which to develop a philosophical foundation as well as a set of aims and objectives for Ethics Education. It is acknowledged that students need to develop a wide range of cognitive, emotional and social competencies in order to understand what it means to care for self and others within specific socio-cultural contexts and also to develop the sense of empathetic connection and affiliation to others that translates moral decisions into responsible moral action. It is hoped that the study provides the basis for beginning a dialogue in schools that involves students, teachers, families and members of the wider community about what it means to live the ethical form of life and how education itself might promote broadly such a form of life.

Full textAbstract:
This research focuses on spiritual well-being in the workplace and its relation to work performance. Extant empirical studies have mostly focused on demonstrating statistical links between these two concepts to the exclusion of qualitative studies that can better explain what spiritual well-being may be and how the experience is possibly related to work performance. Especially under-researched is the ground-level employees’ perspectives and the possible incompatibility of spiritual and organisational goals. This research thus examined the experiences of spiritual well-being among successful healthcare sales representatives in Malaysia, particularly on how their spiritual inclinations or their inclination for meaningfulness interfaced with the need to meet work targets.
This qualitative research is exploratory and is framed within a constructionist epistemological stance. It used narrative inquiry as its methodology. Its primary data were stories successful healthcare sales representatives in Malaysia told about their work. These were collected and analysed using narrative interviews and narrative analysis respectively.
What the research found was that the relation between spiritual well-being and work performance was depicted to be diverse, fragile and transitory. This was predicated on the ground-level employees’ experience of the interface between their spiritual inclinations and the need to meet work targets, which was diverse and changeable. What the research also found was that spiritual well-being resembled an experience that was constructed as employees engaged with their work. Spiritual well-being is thus neither merely found at work nor merely brought to work but constructed in the interplay between the employees’ spiritual inclinations and what they do at work.
The research contributes to theoretical development in the area by advancing an expanded understanding of spirituality in the workplace. It demonstrates that spiritual well-being is contingent upon the work employees do, and the extent to which the work may be amenable for the construction of the experience. Thus, the relation between spiritual well-being and work performance ought to be understood from the way individual employees construct and individualise their experience of work. The research also foregrounds the importance of using models of organisation that accommodate the constructed, interactive and evolving nature of spiritual well-being in the workplace.
