La santé mentale en mouvement

In the field of mental health care, developments since the late 1990s point to the influence of a neuro-cognitive-behavioral conception of mind, and a definition of "good" mental health in adaptive terms. Seen closely, however, this field is characterized by a plurality of more or less stable frames of reference and practices. The various mutations in care protocols and systems, as well as in the psy professions, are leading to new uncertainties and continuing divergences over the nature and meaning of mental health problems. This book is an overview of this field in movement and tension, through several prisms such as the paradigm of recovery, the eclecticism of psychological therapies and their relationship with medication, or the introduction of technologies that question the new spirit of mental health care, with all its singularity.
