In this heuristic project, developmental theories and existential concerns are synthesised in an effort to explicate human dilemmas and existential psychotherapy. Developmental themes and ontological ...givens create a dialectic between: need for stability/continuity with change/impermanence; separateness/individuation with need and desire for connectedness; and efficiency/confidence with insecurity/diffidence. These dilemmas are integral to being human and are re-negotiated throughout life. This existential-developmental view is also linked to psychotherapy. A safe space and the presence of a caring, empathically attuned, open and non-imposing therapist can facilitate the process of 'authentic historicalness'.
De nombreuses études empiriques semblent montrer la pertinence d’adopter une approche attache ment informée en psychothérapie adulte. Elle ne prescrit pas de direction à suivre, elle ne nous indique ...pas les décisions à prendre, mais elle donne une information sur le processus psychothérapique et sur ce qui « marche » pour tel patient et pourquoi « cela marche ». Nous cherchons à montrer que l’attention portée à la relation avec le soignant ou le psychothérapeute est le catalyseur du changement thérapeutique. Nous adoptons une approche qualitative, basée sur l’étude de cas et l’étude du discours. Nous cheminerons donc à travers la situation de Julie, patiente rencontrée au sein des appartements de coordination thérapeutique.
Abstract A In the field of mental health treatment, research into the evaluation of psychotherapy serves as the basis for the best practices guidelines provided by public authorities. ...is it ...possible to grasp psychic reality as such, in a way that would allow different forms of psychotherapy to be compared with one another? ...does extrinsic evaluation really make any sense? Ainsi, que met-on derriére le terme d'évaluation ľ Quels sens, quels motifs, quelles intentions, quelles visees, quelles méthodes utilisées, quels acteurs impliques, quels controles mis en oeuvre (evaluation de l'évaluation), etc. ľ Mais aussi, quelle utilisation fera-t-on de ses produits ou resultats ľ A s'en teñir par exemple â cette seule question, on mesure que si elle apparaît dans cette enumeration en fin de chaíne, elle pourrait tout aussi bien étre mise en amont de la definition de l'évaluation, subsumer toute la problématique et produire des questions dérivées du type: voudra-t-on dasser les therapies, comme le rapport Inserm de 2004 ľa tenté, ou bien les thérapeutes, comme pourrait le faire une « entreprise de soins » ľ S'agira-t-il de normaliser les pratiques å travers des protocoles issus de conferences de consensus, de chercher å rationaliser les dépenses en matiére de soins (et done â partir de quels critéres, de quelles representations de la « maladie » et de la « guérison » ľ), ou bien encore de favoriser la formation des praticiens2, etc. ľ On ne saurait ici déplier ľensemble des enjeux a l'œuvre derriére la question de l'évaluation des psychothérapies.

This paper considers how some forms of specialisation in psychology and psychotherapy can transform people into deviations from imaginal norms and problematise these people's existence. I propose ...that we embrace liberatory approaches to specialism and the ways in which our liminality of being(s)-between-worlds or existing-between-worlds can disrupt imaginal norms.
The author reviews current examples of institutionalized homo-, bi-, and transphobia expressed by right-wing politicians and the Catholic Church in Poland. He uses the Gestalt theory of shame to ...understand the psychological consequences of this systemic oppression and analyzes internalized homo-, bi-, and transphobia; “the love focus” in activist narratives on homosexuality; and the lack of psychotherapeutic depth when working through gender and/or sexuality issues with clients. A psychotherapist’s role as a psychosocial activist (the Gestalt realm) or shadow practitioner (the Jungian realm) is suggested as a crucial support for an LGBT+ client.
