The intimidation and the lack of socio-professional integration were also reported as environnemental risk factors.

Relying on the theories of voice in moral psychology, ethics and political philosophy, when combined with a materialist feminist perspective, the author provides a conception of the female subject that is directly related to the political. The author draws on her ethnographic research in a nursing home to discuss the plurality of voices and languages within the care work domain. She identifies three ways in which the « different voice » is unsuccessful : inexpressiveness (professional jargon imported from the masculine world); hyper-expressiveness (hysteria in the social sense or « cultivatedhysteria »); muffled voices keeping to themselves (resistance). To speak publicly « in a different voice » involves a feminist transformation of the organization of work, based on equitable sharing rather than specialized division of labour. It implies accepting as a necessary transition the hysterization of feminist voices, their shrillness or dissonance in the public realm.

From a sociology of science perspective, the subject of analysis is the cognitive and social issues connected with the practice of alternative medicine. The principal is that of conceptual autonomy: from the cognitive point of view, practitioners are patching together a world vision, a scientific vision of the body and of health; from the social point of view, they are seeking professional autonomy, in both the practice of their therapeutic activity as such and in relation to other professions and corporations in the health sector. To have access to the way these practitioners present themselves, an analysis was made of the contents of advertisements published in a magazine devoted to the new therapies, Guide Ressources. This analysis shows that it is still difficult to establish which of the numerous virtualities in the movement—narcissism or a new social relationship to nature—will prevail; but everything revolves around autonomy.
