Sharing and evaluating a series of relationship-centred approaches to dementia care, this book enables practitioners to have hands-on involvement in improving the quality of this care. Fostering a ...critical approach to our understanding of how we do relationship-centred dementia care, Reid shows how experiences of living with dementia, family awareness of dementia, professional knowledge of providing dementia care, and the health, social care and housing system are linked, and how good dementia care arises from the relationships between these groups. The book encourages thinking about the stigma attached to dementia, and how a focus on living well with dementia helps shape policies about people with dementia, with their voices included. Practical steps for carrying out relationship-centred dementia care are also explained, with examples of common obstacles and how to overcome them.
How do migrant women living in illegality build intimate relationships? How do they experience, resist or take advantage of the tight link between intimacy and migration status created by the German ...migration legislation?
Drawing on rich biographical accounts and ethnographic methods, the book offers an insightful and sensitive look at a mostly unknown aspect of life in illegality. Adopting a critical feminist perspective, Flaminia Bartolini shows how intimacy should be understood in its intrinsic power dimension and looks critically at the German migration regime and on its effects on migrants' lives.
Dans le cadre de la pandémie liée à la COVID-19, l’État français a mis en place des mesures de confinement obligeant les parents à rester chez eux avec leurs enfants, tout en assurant, en plus des ...tâches quotidiennes et du travail, leur scolarité.
L’objectif de cette publication est de présenter les modifications des relations parents-enfants et entre conjoints pendant cette période et leurs principales sources selon les parents.
Un questionnaire en ligne du 28 avril 2020 au 29 mai 2020 a permis le recueil des données de 490 familles françaises ayant au moins un enfant de moins de six ans. Une analyse de contenu du corpus discursif a été réalisée avec le logiciel NVivo (version 10). Un traitement statistique quantitatif (réalisé par le logiciel STATA, version 16.1) a testé les relations entre les variables sociodémographiques, ainsi que celles relatives au vécu des parents, et les relations intrafamiliales « tendues » et « renforcées ».
Si pour 33,3 % des répondants, les relations familiales ne se sont pas modifiées, elles se sont renforcées pour 42,5 % et tendues pour près d’un quart (24,3 %).
Comprendre les sources des tensions vécues par les familles de jeunes enfants pendant le confinement, ainsi que ce qui a permis à d’autres familles de mieux vivre cette situation, peut permettre une mise en place de mesures visant à prendre en charge les conséquences du mal-être généré par la vie confinée et à éviter de troubles psychologiques ultérieurs lors de possibles prochains confinements.
In the context of the COVID-19 pandemic, the French state implemented containment measures requiring parents to stay at home with their children, while ensuring, in addition to daily tasks and work, their schooling.
The objective of this publication is to present the modifications of parent-child and spousal relationships during this period and their main sources according to the parents.
An online questionnaire from 28 April 2020 to 29 May 2020 collected data from 490 French families with at least one child from birth to six years old. A content analysis of the discursive corpus was carried out with NVivo software (version 10). Quantitative statistical processing (using STATA software, version 16.1) tested the relationships between socio-demographic variables, as well as those relating to the parents’ experiences, and “strained” and “strengthened” intrafamily relationships.
While for 33.3% of the respondents, family relationships did not change, they became stronger for 42.5% and tense for almost a quarter (24.3%).
Understanding the sources of tension experienced by families of young children during lockdown, as well as what enabled other families to better cope with this situation, may enable measures to be implemented to deal with the consequences of the discomfort generated by the lockdown and to avoid further psychological problems during possible future ones.

Khadija lives with her son, whose unpredictable mental disorders have brought profound, existential uncertainty into the life of this Nigerien family. With such chaotic circumstances confronting her, ...the mother puts great effort into recreating stability out of these turmoils, while not abandoning the hope for their disappearance of the latter. Beyond the practical and narrative (re)positioning of filial relationships reveals in Khadija’s accounts of her son’s illness, this article analyses how her endeavours keep the family together.
Autism has attracted a great deal of attention in recent years, thanks to dramatically increasing rates of diagnosis, extensive organizational mobilization, journalistic coverage, biomedical ...research, and clinical innovation. Understanding Autism, a social history of the expanding diagnostic category of this contested illness, takes a close look at the role of emotion--specifically, of parental love--in the intense and passionate work of biomedical communities investigating autism.
Miriam Zadek shares her story in this memoir that documents her experiences growing up in a New York Jewish family with both deaf and hearing members from the 1930s through World War II and beyond. ...Her story is personal and reflective, revealing the sometimes complex and heart-rending dynamics within her family and her community. Through brief and evocative vignettes, Zadek relates her memories of family life, capturing the innocence of childhood, the confusion of adolescence, and then progressing through adulthood. Her recollections evolve from a childlike observance to awareness, pain, and understanding as she matures. Throughout this journey, the author presents a narrative of historical and cultural importance centered on her personal account of the lives of deaf and hearing Jewish people in the mid-twentieth century. The prevailing ideological movements of the time permeate her family life. Zadek reveals the traumatic impact of eugenics and the fears surrounding the genetic transmission of deafness. She considers the effects of adhering to the oral method of communication in her home when sign language could have given her family the ability to interact with each other more fully. In this environment, Zadek became an astute communicator and learned to adapt to both the hearing and the deaf world, where she was known as "Miriam Hearing Sister." Her memoir is an elegant literary work that offers an understanding of how biases and stigmas resonate and evolve, and it showcases her loving family of strong women who pushed against stereotypes and have thrived across generations.
Rethinking Rufus is the first book-length study of sexual violence against enslaved men. Scholars have extensively documented the widespread sexual exploitation and abuse suffered by enslaved women, ...with comparatively little attention paid to the stories of men. However, a careful reading of extant sources reveals that sexual assault of enslaved men also occurred systematically and in a wide variety of forms, including physical assault, sexual coercion, and other intimate violations.
To tell the story of men such as Rufus-who was coerced into a sexual union with an enslaved woman, Rose, whose resistance of this union is widely celebrated-historian Thomas A. Foster interrogates a range of sources on slavery: early American newspapers, court records, enslavers' journals, abolitionist literature, the testimony of formerly enslaved people collected in autobiographies and in interviews, and various forms of artistic representation. Foster's sustained examination of how black men were sexually violated by both white men and white women makes an important contribution to our understanding of masculinity, sexuality, the lived experience of enslaved men, and the general power dynamics fostered by the institution of slavery. Rethinking Rufus illuminates how the conditions of slavery gave rise to a variety of forms of sexual assault and exploitation that affected all members of the community.
IntroductionPregnancy and the birth of a child are times of great vulnerability that can disrupt the couple and sometimes trigger violence.ObjectiveThis study sets out to examine how a child's ...exposure to intimate partner violence at a very young age can impact their development and adjustment, and more specifically, to highlight the social, emotional, traumatic and family consequences for children exposed to intimate partner violence in early or late childhood.MethodOur sample comprised 46 children aged between 5 and 12. The following measurement tools were used: SAGA (Systemic Analysis of Group Affiliation) test (Compagnone, 2009) for family cohesion representations, CBCL (Child Behavior Checklist) (Achenbach, 1991) for social and emotional adjustment, and TSCC (Trauma Symptom Checklist for Children) (Briere, 1989) for post-traumatic stress.ResultsResults indicate that children exposed to intimate partner violence at an early age are the most likely to present symptoms of anxiety and depression.ConclusionThe representation of the cohesiveness of the mother–child relationship plays a moderating role between the onset of intimate partner violence and the externalized adjustment displayed by the children. This leads us to posit that a poor cohesive mother–child relationship is a risk factor for the child's adjustment.
IntroductionLa grossesse ou la naissance d’un enfant constitue une période d’importante vulnérabilité, bouleverse la place des membres du couple et agit souvent comme déclencheur de la violence.ObjectifL’objectif de cette étude est d’examiner l’effet de l’exposition à la violence conjugale précoce sur le développement et l’adaptation des enfants. Plus précisément, il s’agit de mettre en évidence les conséquences socio-affective, traumatique et familiale, de l’exposition à la violence conjugale chez les enfants selon si elle a débuté précocement ou plus tardivement.MéthodeL’échantillon est composé de 46 enfants âgés de 5 à 12 ans. Les représentations de la cohésion familiale des enfants ont été appréhendées à travers le SAGA (Compagnone, 2009), l’adaptation socio-affective par le Child Behavior Checklist (Achenbach, 1991) et les symptômes de stress post-traumatique grâce au Trauma Symptom Checklist for Children (Briere, 1989).RésultatsLes résultats indiquent que les enfants exposés précocement sont les plus à risque de manifester des symptômes anxieux et dépressifs. La représentation de la cohésion mère-enfant joue un rôle modérateur entre le début de la violence conjugale et l’adaptation extériorisée des enfants.ConclusionLa cohésion mère-enfant apparaît ainsi être un facteur de risque pour l’adaptation de l’enfant, lorsqu’elle est perçue comme faible.
