Les jeunes adultes aidants sont des personnes de 18 à 25 ans qui fournissent de manière régulière du soutien ou de l'assistance à un proche avec une maladie ou en situation de handicap et constituent une population spécifique peu étudiée. Le soutien émotionnel est un soutien particulièrement apporté par ces jeunes et peut être une activité d'aide difficile à fournir du fait de l'investissement psychologique et émotionnel qu'elle nécessite. À l'heure actuelle, le soutien émotionnel est un soutien difficile à définir et à mesurer, en témoignent les outils existants qui semblent limités. Cette étude vise à explorer les caractéristiques du soutien émotionnel apporté par les jeunes adultes aidants. Treize entretiens semi-directifs auprès de jeunes adultes aidants ont été réalisés et les données ont fait l'objet d'une analyse thématique. Les résultats montrent que le soutien émotionnel revêt différentes formes : proposer des activités, être présent, apporter une protection émotionnelle, aider le proche à réguler ses émotions et être un interlocuteur privilégié pour le proche aidé. Ils montrent aussi que le fait d'apporter du soutien émotionnel peut avoir des retentissements sur le bien-être de ces jeunes. Les résultats permettent une meilleure compréhension du soutien émotionnel apporté par les jeunes adultes aidants et soulignent la nécessité de prendre en compte ces résultats à des fins cliniques. À des fins de recherche, ces résultats pourraient également contribuer à l'amélioration des outils d'évaluation des activités d'aide en y intégrant les aspects du soutien émotionnel de manière plus précise et exhaustive. Young adult carers are individuals between the ages of 18 and 25 who regularly provide support or assistance to a relative with an illness or disability, representing a specific and understudied population. Emotional support, frequently provided by these individuals, can be challenging due to the psychological and emotional investment it requires. Currently, emotional support is difficult to define and measure, as evidenced by the limited existing tools. This study aims to explore the characteristics of emotional support provided by young adult carers. Thirteen semi-structured interviews were conducted with young adult caregivers, and a thematic analysis was performed. The results show that emotional support manifests in multiple actions: suggesting activities, being present, offering emotional protection, assisting the relative in regulating their emotions, and being a privileged interlocutor for the relative. They also show that providing emotional support can have impacts on the well-being of these youth. These findings offer a better understanding of the emotional support provided by young adult caregivers and emphasize the need to consider them for clinical settings. For research purposes, these results could also contribute to improving evaluation tools for caregiving activities by incorporating aspects of emotional support more precisely and comprehensively.

La sociologie est une étude scientifique des faits et des phénomènes sociaux. La santé est un fait social impliquant divers facteurs sociaux. Le rapport entre la sociologie et la santé reste encore théorique notamment dans les pays en développement comme la RD Congo. La médecine, malgré sa progression au cours de dernières décennies ne parvient toujours pas à résoudre de manière définitive les problèmes de santé de l’humanité qui se posent en grand nombre. Les épidémies et les pandémies, la complexité des faits, l’explosion démographique, la raréfaction de certaines ressources naturelles et l’industrialisation suscitent et contribuent à élargir des questionnements en sociologie de la santé. L’étude s’inscrit dans cette perspective lorsqu’elle se propose de démontrer ce qui intéresse la sociologie dans le domaine de la santé, de situer la portée sémantique des notions de base et de recenser les travaux à travers les thèmes fréquemment étudiés par les sociologues en matière de santé. En partant de la littérature spécialisée et de l’analyse des effets socio-culturels liés à la santé, il s’est avéré que la sociologie de la santé en RD Congo, contrairement à son émergence en Europe et aux U.S.A., est encore dans son état embryonnaire.

Toujours en prise avec la société contemporaine, Stefano Benni aborde dans quelques textes la sphère de la maladie et des soins. Les malades font partie des marginaux que l’auteur affectionne tandis que les médecins sont dépeints sous un jour peu reluisant. Ils incarnent une médecine-business uniquement masculine qui perd de vue guérison et patients. Benni entend montrer la puissance de femmes guérisseuses, elles aussi en marge, et participe à sa façon à la volonté de réhabiliter une autre forme de médecine, une autre approche de la douleur, dont les femmes semblent être les dépositaires.

This study focused on the spatial evolution of COVID‐19 in the state of Chihuahua, Mexico. Data were retrieved from governmental databases and analyzed by means of GIS, applying the inverse distance weighted (IDW) method. The period of December 2019 through November 2021 was split into eight seasons. The root mean square error (RMSE) was used to assess the reliability of the interpolations, showing acceptable values (RSME < 25). During the period, the municipalities of Juarez and Chihuahua reached the highest number of confirmed cases and deaths, Juarez being the main hotspot of contagion (37.2% of confirmed cases; 46.9% of deaths). Four waves of contagion were identified during the evaluated period, with Fall 2020 being the strongest season. Since Fall 2020, the spread of the disease was more often observed in municipalities with the highest human mobility. Although the spread of COVID‐19 decreased after Spring 2021, in Fall 2021 records indicated a continuous increase in cases in the state. That could be due to a relaxation of the implementation of sanitary measures, as well as to the propagation of novel COVID‐19 variants having an elevated infectious level. Geospatial techniques allowed for an understanding of the spatial spread of COVID‐19 and could be useful for its control. Key messages: Although the impact of COVID‐19 has been widely documented, its geographical study remains unclear for Chihuahua, Mexico.We explored the feasibility of the IDW interpolation method to identify potential areas of confirmed cases and deaths due to COVID‐19.The IDW enhanced estimations of confirmed cases and deaths of COVID‐19, finding increments by means of the cumulative curve for the period 2020‒2021.

Édouard perd la mémoire. Le fil du récit de sa vie se dissout, le laissant confus, livré à une forme de solitude qui, graduellement, le coupe d’un monde dans lequel, on le comprend rapidement, il avait plutôt l’habitude d’occuper l’avant-scène. Intellectuel invité régulièrement à prendre parole dans l’espace public, Édouard, l’historien émérite, est ici confronté à une maladie qui, ironiquement, atteint la mémoire. Lui qui, toute sa vie, a réfléchi sa société en la mettant en lien avec son passé, perd peu à peu la capacité à placer sa propre vie sur le fil d’un récit continu. Comment ses proches composent-ils avec la disparition d’une part identitaire d’Edouard? La maladie n’est-elle que l’inverse de la santé, pour lui, ou aussi, un terreau fertile à une transformation qui le rendrait, paradoxalement, plus vivant, au sens ou le philosophe l’entend, dans son expression “vivant jusqu’à a sa mort”? Que reste-t-il de nous lors que notre récit qu’on se fait de nous-mêmes nous échappe? Analyse du film de 2022 de François Archambault : Tu te souviendras de moi.

La présente réflexion a successivement cherché à déterminer le référent nosonymique lubà étant donné que le nosonyme est un signe linguistique constitué d’un signifiant, d’un signifié et d’un référent ; avant de trouver que le référent du nosonyme lubà est la maladie pour conclure en décryptant le concept « maladie » dans son entendement par le peuple lubà sur les plans biologique et socio-culturel.

The human experience of survival from a plague is about distinguishing the sick from the healthy as quickly as possible, establishing a barrier to stop the infection, and protecting healthy people. Nevertheless, the various quarantine rules and the acceptance and compliance of the population are a kind of battle between policy implementers and the public. This paper tries to understand how Chinese cultural attitudes (Henderson, 1984) unconsciously influence the Chinese people to be most cooperative with the strict containment and quarantine measures to confront the COVID‐19 pandemic. This article begins with the Chinese characters, exemplified by the four characters of disease and plague, to discuss how the pictograph nature and spatial structural way profoundly shaped the cultural mind. Then, through plague‐related Chinese legends, stories and folklore, the paper sets out the Chinese cultural attitudes which are also manifested in the analogical associations between disease, plague and seasons, the balance of the five elements of the universe and ghosts, gods and the government bureaucrats in the Kingdom of the Heaven. All of these approaches are well in line with Jung's method of associative amplification as a way to locate the archetypal wisdom that assures survival. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The article "Greek inscriptions as aids for understanding lament and thanksgiving psalms" discusses the use of Greek inscriptions from Asia Minor for a better interpretation of lament and thanksgiving psalms in the Old Testament. The question is raised whether older texts have influenced younger ones or whether similar life situations have led to comparable reactions without the texts being dependent on each other. Numerous stone inscriptions from the western part of present-day Turkey are mentioned, which are referred to as confession or expiation inscriptions and contain elements such as misconduct, punitive reaction of the deity, confession, restitution, doxology, and admonition. The use of these inscriptions could contribute to a better understanding of the original occasion of some psalms. [Extracted from the article]

Édouard loses his memory. The thread of his life􀂶s story dissolves, leaving him confused and lonely, and gradually cut off from a world in which, as we soon realize, he was accustomed to taking centre stage. An intellectual who is regularly invited to speak in the public arena, Édouard, the historian emeritus, is confronted with an illness that, ironically, affects his memory. He who, all his life, has reflected on his society by linking it to his past, gradually loses the ability to place his own life on the thread of a continuous narrative. How do those closest to him cope with the disappearance of a part of Edouard􀂶s identity? Is illness simply the opposite of health for him, or is it also fertile ground for a transformation that would, paradoxically, make him more alive, in the philosopher􀂶s sense of the phrase 􀂳alive until dead􀂴? What􀂶s left of us when the story we tell ourselves escapes us? Analysis of François Archambault􀂶s 2022 film: Tu te souviendras de moi. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

During the COVID-19 pandemic, Canada has witnessed a sharp increase in racial violence against Chinese Canadians, and, in an undifferentiated racism, other Asian Canadians have been seen as bearers of disease as well, which often made them targets of racism. The quick transformation of Asian minority groups into threats of contagion during the pandemic points to the persistence of latent fears and anxieties about Chinese Canadians across generational differences, immigration status, and national origin. This essay reflects on how knowledges about early Chinese newcomers that were generated by colonial administrators laid the foundations for modes of racial governance that continue to inform public policy and public discourse in multicultural Canada in ways at once familiar and new. It examines the 1885 Report of the Royal Commission on Chinese Immigration as an important tool in reinforcing the political goal of "white Canada" by strengthening the power of European colonists. Less than a century later, in 1967, the immigration points system was introduced, preceding the adoption of multiculturalism policy in 1971, both breaking with explicitly racist national policies. Yet there is more continuity than there are differences across the 1885 Report and the 1967 immigration policy. Both participate in a historical narrative that excludes the Chinese from national imagining, laying fertile ground for contemporary anti-Chinese racisms during the recent COVID-19 pandemic. Contemporary media narratives during the pandemic reproduce the same racial hierarchies, excluding Chinese Canadians from the nation. By placing the rise in anti-Asian racism during the COVID-19 pandemic in the long historical trajectory of institutional racism in Canada, this essay argues for the need to learn about the historical legacies of racism to be able to intervene in structural racism so that Canada's promise of multiculturalism can be grounded in justice and equity.

Species of Pestalotiopsis occur commonly as plant pathogens. Accordingly, the aim of this study was to identify the causal agent of a shrub disease in northeastern and northern Tunisian forests. Field surveys showed a progressive dieback of branches, twig blight and trunk cankers on Pistacia lentiscus and Quercus coccifera. Pestalotiopsis spp. were the main fungi consistently isolated from these shrub species. Morphological identification and phylogenetic analysis of the internal transcribed spacer (ITS) region of the nuclear ribosomal DNA and partial sequence of the translation elongation factor 1-alpha gene (tef1-α) identified the isolated fungi as Pestalotiopsis biciliata. This identification was confirmed by PCR analysis and Sanger sequencing, and demonstrated further using Koch's postulates. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report of P. biciliata associated with branch dieback and stem canker on Quercus coccifera and Pistacia lentiscus in Tunisia. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

La maladie est une épreuve pour le patient, ses proches ainsi que pour le personnel soignant. Son apparition dans l’existence d’un être humain est toujours une source d’angoisse pour lui et pour son entourage. Cette angoisse est d’autant plus grande quand la prise en charge n’est pas efficace ou quand le personnel soignant n’assume pas le rôle qui est le sien : prendre soin du malade. Face à une mauvaise prise en charge du malade, des doutes peuvent surgir chez lui quant à son appartenance à la communauté humaine. L’objectif de cette réflexion est de montrer que le patient, malgré la maladie et la dégradation physique et psychique qu’elle apporte, demeure un être humain à part entière car l’humanité ou la dignité n’est pas « biodégradable ». La maladie peut être perçue comme une interpellation éthique à prendre soin de ‘‘l’homme capable’’ devenu ‘‘homme souffrant’’.

Cet article propose une revue de littérature sur les groupes de parole à l'attention des frères et sœurs d'enfants porteurs de handicap et/ou maladie. Il s'inscrit dans la continuité des travaux de Dayan, Picon, Scelles et Bouteyre (2006), avec un état des lieux des publications en langue anglophone et francophone parues entre 2006 et 2020. Compte tenu de l'accroissement des études visant les troubles du spectre de l'autisme (TSA), un focus est proposé sur les groupes menés dans ce contexte spécifique. Après avoir décrit la diversité des cadres et approches méthodologiques/théoriques des groupes fratries, leur mode de fonctionnement et objectifs, une analyse comparative des bénéfices qu'ils apportent est réalisée selon qu'ils concernent tout type de handicap/maladie ou se centrent sur les TSA. Les limites de ces études sont analysées et des perspectives pour des travaux futurs sont énoncées. This paper is aiming to a literature review on support groups for siblings of children with disability or illness. It is in line with the work of Dayan, Picon, Scelles and Bouteyre (2006), with an inventory of publications in English and French published between 2006 and 2020. Given the increase in studies targeting autism spectrum disorders (ASD), a focus is proposed on groups conducted in this specific context. After describing the diversity of the sibling groups' methodological/theoretical frameworks and approaches, their functioning and objectives, a comparative analysis of the benefits they provide is carried out according to whether they concern any type of disability/disease or focus on ASDs. The limitations of these studies are analyzed and perspectives for future work are outlined. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Souvent perçu comme le fruit de spéculations empiriques, le sanatorium, destiné dans la première moitié du XXe siècle à la prise en charge des tuberculeux, se présente de prime abord comme une utopie thérapeutique émanant du corps médical. Dans ce lieu clos s’exerce en effet l’autorité du docteur, dont les préconisations ont valeur d’injonctions. Pourtant, deux romans, Les « Heures de silence », de l’écrivain suisse Robert de Traz (1884-1951) et Siloé, de Paul Gadenne (1907-1956), auteur français qui fut lui-même un habitué des établissements de soins, mettent en scène un renversement. Dans ces œuvres, l’unité de lieu sanatoriale devient en effet un artifice commode pour questionner le monde des bien-portants à trois niveaux : l’ego, la relation aux autres et le rapport à l’espace naturel. Parce que la « condition tuberculeuse » pondère les différences entre les individus, elle remet en cause le primat de la santé et esquisse paradoxalement un mode de vie équilibré, fondé sur l’expérience idiorythmique de l’alternance entre solitude, vie sociale et immanence.

In Marie de Sévigné's letters, some kinds of chronicles tell long and painful illnesses in a paradoxical comic tone. Their first aim is reassuring correspondents. But laughing together has moreover a comforting and perhaps curative function for the patient. On the one hand, by practising self-mockery, the letter-writer regains control of the self-image damaged by illness; on the other hand, she neutralises the pain and anxiety by creating a kind of comic theatre where the doctors, the entourage and the symptoms become comic characters; finally, she seeks the help of the epistolary community by sharing the laughter. Thus laughter is a process of distancing that allows the writer to refuse to be reduced to her body. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

L’article analyse le roman de Roberto Piumini intitulé Lo stralisco (en français: La verluisette). Un peintre y réinvente le monde pour un enfant malade, et le roman devient à la fois l’aventure complice qui naît entre un enfant et un artiste, et une réflexion sur la représentation. À travers la progression d’une fresque substitutive du monde pour un enfant qui ne peut pas sortir, on pense l’espace, le temps, l’infini. Avec parfois un écho littéraire qui renvoie à Calvino ou Baricco, ce qui confirme que le roman peut être lu à plusieurs niveaux et intéresser aussi les adultes.

As shown in our previous paper ('Regression I. Experimental approaches to regression', JAP, 65, 2, 345-65), the common mechanism of regression can be described as reversible dedifferentiation, which is understood as a relative increase of the proportion of low-differentiated (older) systems in actualized experience. Experimental data show that regression following disease (chronic tension headache) is followed by adaptation and an increase in system differentiation in that experience domain which contains systems responsible for that adaptation. The results of mathematical modelling support the idea that reversible dedifferentiation can be one of the mechanisms for increasing the effectiveness of adaptation through learning. Reversible dedifferentiation, which is phenomenologically described as regression, is a general mechanism for restructuring the organism-environment interactions in situations where behaviours that were effective in the past become ineffective. Reversible dedifferentiation has evolved as a component of adaptation when new behaviours are formed and large-scale modifications in the existing behaviours are required in the face of changes in the external and/or internal environment. Thus, the authors believe that this article provides evidence for Jung's view that regression is not only a 'return' to past forms of thinking, affects and behaviour, but that regressive processes provide a significant impetus for psychological growth and development.

The concept of regression is considered with an emphasis on the differences between the positions of Freud and Jung regarding its significance. The paper discusses the results of experimental analyses of individual experience dynamics (from gene expression changes and impulse neuronal activity in animals to prosocial behaviour in healthy humans at different ages, and humans in chronic pain) in those situations where regression occurs: stress, disease, learning, highly emotional states and alcohol intoxication. Common mechanisms of regression in all these situations are proposed. The mechanisms of regression can be described as reversible dedifferentiation, which is understood as a relative increase of the representation of low-differentiated (older) systems in the actualized experience. In all of the cases of dedifferentiation mentioned above, the complexity of the systemic organization of behaviour significantly decreases. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Cette réflexion s’interroge sur la gestion de maladie, de malade et de soins dans les médecines dites parallèles ou africaines. Et ce, depuis que l’être humain a toujours cherché d’une part à conjurer le mal, le malheur et la souffrance et à tenter de lui conférer un sens d’autre part. En effet, la consubstantialité maladie/médecines est des plus en plus basiques, fondamentales, dans les sociétés humaines et même de tout organisme vivant. Il ne saurait y avoir d’existence sans morbidité, sans défaillance chimique et physique dont la résorption interpelle le génie créateur de l’homme sous peine de disparition. Autant les situations de défaillance s’analysent en terme de maladie et désignées par le groupe, autant les thérapeutiques y afférentes reflètent la démarche d’interprétation et d’intégration dans la conception du monde. La diversité de peuples induit la pluralité de définitions et de conceptions de la maladie et, par voie de conséquence, des médecines. Nous insistons sur cette évidence : l’on ne souffre pas de mêmes maladies partout, ni l’on ne se soigne guère de façon identique à travers le monde. C’est souvent à partir d’un récit de maladie construit par le patient ou un tiers que le soignant opère son diagnostic. La thérapie « mpeve-a-n’longo » en oeuvre à Kinshasa accorde une place de choix aux rituels de guérison. Dans ces espaces de salut, les patients demandeurs de soins vivent une conception du « mal » en rapport avec les forces du monde invisible, le malheur et la maladie sont toute affection de nature physique, sociale et spirituelle, qui cause le dysfonctionnement des organes, des activités et des relations de l’homme. Autrement dit, comment, à partir de la perception de la maladie, c’est-à-dire des images qui s’y rattachent, le recours thérapeutique peut être envisagé par les patients, mais aussi comment ces images et représentations pourraient en déterminer l’issue? Cette diversité de penser la maladie, d’offrir les soins et de gérer les itinéraires de santé à l’intérieur d’une même société, fait l’objet de la présente réverbération. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

À travers son œuvre littéraire et sa production journalistique, Stefano Benni met en scène, depuis la moitié des années 1970, ses contemporains et le cadre dans lequel ils évoluent et qui les modèle. Grâce à son écriture débridée et hautement inventive, il s’attaque aux différents conformismes, à la déchéance morale, à l’appauvrissement culturel, aux abus de pouvoir de toutes sortes, bref aux maux qui contaminent la société. Ce monde impitoyable semble bien éloigné de l’univers des enfants ; or les pages de Benni fourmillent d’enfants qui ne sont pas de simples présences anecdotiques. Aux yeux de l’auteur bolonais, ils incarnent la rébellion, la contestation, la marginalité et sont porteurs de libertés et d’espoirs. Benni ne propose pas de gentils bambins bien éduqués et étriqués mais des garnements frondeurs prêts à se sacrifier pour donner une chance à l’utopie. Benni se range du côté de Pinocchio plutôt que de celui du Petit Prince et met en scène de jeunes guerriers qui luttent pour la rédemption des leurs et du monde. Nous analyserons La Compagnia dei Celestini (1992), Elianto (1996), Saltatempo (2001) et Margherita Dolcevita (2005) pour comprendre quels sens Benni donne aux enfants, comment il les représente et quelles fonctions il leur attribue.

The concept of locus of control is considered like a general variable in personality. Most studies agree that the people, whose locus of control is internal, are more positive than those provided with a place of external control. However, in the case of illness, we observe, as for relationship between the attribution of the disease and psychological adaptation, that some authors believe that the internal control patients assume their illness, against others attribute it to external factors.The aim of this article is to elucidate the relationship between the attribution and adaptation to illness.

This paper reviews aspects of the Id as highlighted by Georg Groddeck and reflects on possible connections between Groddeckian, Freudian and Lacanian thinking. We emphasize Georg Groddeck's original ideas about unconscious language and symbols in investigating psychosomatic diseases, in a constant effort to apply them to psychoanalysis. In his clinic, resistance and transference were considered decisive for the replacement of the language of disease with that of health. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Résumé Objectif Arthur Kleinman est professeur de psychiatrie, d'anthropologie médicale et d'anthropologie à l'université de Harvard. C'est une des figures majeures des champs de l'anthropologie médicale, de la psychiatrie transculturelle, de la santé globale et des humanités médicales. Son principal terrain d'étude est la Chine contemporaine. Outre de nombreux ouvrages collectifs et articles, il est l'auteur de plusieurs livres qui abordent ses thématiques de recherche. Le but de cet article est de mieux faire connaître ses travaux au lectorat français intéressé par les liens entre la médecine, la psychiatrie et les sciences sociales.
