AbstractThe objective of this paper is to analyse the impact of the adult's identity crisis on his educational relationships. Based on the convergent conclusions of a number of adult research reports, the author proposes a hypothesis to explain the development crisis which permits to bring to light the defensive character of certain behaviors and to show how the beginning of a reconciliation process with oneself modifies one's attitude towards the child.

This paper presents the concept of language as proposed by the social behavior theory of Staats (1975). Staats analyses language in terms of repertoires of three types: receptive language, productive language, and receptive-productive language. Receptive language includes verbal-motor, verbal-affective, and verbal-sensory repertoires. Productive language includes repertoires for labeling, complex labeling, social and self behavior labeling, and sensory-verbal labeling. Finally, receptive-productive language includes repertoires of verbal imitation and of grammatical verbal sequences. Description of these language types and their repertoires, specifying the principles operating in learning, is presented.

ABSTRACTIn western countries, mental health problems are increasing and represent one of the major causes of morbidity of the population with an annual prevalence varying from 15 to 25%. Consequences of this morbidity are more importantly felt on the working capacity of individuals. Several elements linked particularly to the evolution of the organization and working conditions in the course of the last years incriminate the workplace in explaining the origin of this new "epidemic". If there is a relative unanimity on the importance of mental health problems at work, it is not the case with the understanding of the origin of these problems and, consequently, of the strategies to put in place to counter them. Of the entire studies that have attempted to explain this phenomenon, three approaches are considered: the causalist approach, the cognitivist approach and finally, the psychodynamic approach. Even if the cognitivist approach allows to understand why some stress factors identified by the causalist approach can be pathogenic, it appears a bit reductionist by linking mental health problems at work with the failure of people's efforts of adaptation. Contrarily to the cognitivist interpretation and to individual actions which brings us to the approach to stress, the psychodynamic of work leads to a questioning of the intelligibility of the organizational origin of mental health problems at work, by analyzing the dynamic and evolutive interface between the objectives pursued by the individual, the organization and the working group.

ABSTRACTA "TEACCH" experience conducted in Lyon, France, with autistic children within the framework of an infant-juvenile psychiatric intersectory is described here: the proposal for an invidualized educational project stems from the developmental possibilities of each child; taking children into care is inspired by Schopler's proposals: in a structured environment the child is placed in an educational setting; alternatives to verbal communication are also proposed to the children, who for the most part are non verbal. At the same time, work with families is put into place: it consists of support in the taking in charge by the parents on a daily basis of the handicap of the child: a broad place is given to the harmonization of help to the child in his different life contexts. Contribution and limits of this work are also discussed: the child's capacity to relax, the improvement of his relational capacities and his autonomy are noteworthy; restauration of quality of life and relation with famililies is clear; the child's mental deficit is obviously a limiting factor.

SUMMARYHaving worked closely for more than ten years with a team of child psychiatrists that defines itself as community-oriented, I attempt to describe the process by which this team became established in its designated territory. My aim is to provide an overview spanning the five years during which a "satellite clinic" established itself in a low-income district. I proceed by drawing a profile of the neighboring population and that which consults in particular, of agencies that refer and their motives for referral, as well as of our ways of responding to their requests. I also examine the collaboration with the various organizations in the district and what this entails with regard to hopes, doubts and conflict. Although being located within the designated territory had an overall positive impact on our work and our objective to prevent and detect anomalies, it has not necessarily been helpful in establishing better links with neighboring "support" organizations.

SUMMARYIn this article the author is interested by psychoanalysis as a theoretical practice. He makes the connection between psychoanalysis and marxism, and shows us that Freud was not as far removed from marxism as some people think. His reflexions and experiences bring him to strongly criticize psychiatry which, in his view, is a repressive practice contributing to the murder of psychoanalysis as a practice which questions the truth of the subject.
