De plus, ce concept, issu de la psychologie clinique, est, depuis quelques annees, victime de son succes car frequemment utilise dans des contextes inopportuns. Pour cette raison, nous effectuons dans le present article une revue des facteurs psychologiques, familiaux, socio-economique et biologiques qui sous-tendent la resilience afin de mieux la cerner. Nous concluons en soulignant la necessite de disposer d'une echelle validee en francais afin de mieux apprehender les mecanismes psychologiques contribuant au processus de resilience. Une meilleur comprehension de la resilience evitera une recuperation normative et deterministe de ce concept.

The lack of interoceptive awareness is considered a vulnerability involved in the development and maintenance of anorexic symptoms. Surprisingly, no study has been conducted that focuses on these associations in an emotional context. This study measures the interoceptive awareness—using heartbeat self-counting and a sphygmomanometer—of 25 subjects suffering from AN and 25 control subjects, first at rest and then in an emotional situation. The results show that a deficit in interoceptive awareness was observed for the subjects suffering from AN at rest as well as when an emotional context was induced. This study encourages future investigations to focus on the impact of interoceptive deficit in AN to develop as efficient a care regimen as possible for these subjects.

Les auteurs font ensuite la revue des preventions possibles et des prises en charges des hommes violents. Le traitement le plus efficace est fait d'une combinaison de psychotherapie et de psychopharmacotherapie ainsi que de sociotherapie.

Palo Alto school defined the theoretical concepts of brief therapies and the foundations of systemic therapies. First, this article proposes to specify the sociological context in which systemic theories have emerged by differentiating the paradigms of modern and post-modern societies. Second, it defines some keystone concepts in the field of brief therapies : the homeostasis, the positive and negative feedbacks, the changes of level 1 and 2, the identified patient, the paradoxical injunction and the reframing. Finally, it underlines the risks of a misuse of brief therapies. Indeed, on a superficial level, brief therapies could seem very easy to use. In reality, they are based on great amount of theories and require an important professional experience and an in-depth training.
