At the core of humanistic therapy is the idea that people have the capacity to reach their full potential through proper nurturing. This form of therapy may focus on a patient's search for a sense of meaning in life, and may be an approach to take when searching for self-actualization.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Psychologie clinique
CONT

La thérapie humaniste est associée au mouvement du potentiel humain qui fut à son apogée aux États-Unis entre 1960 et 1980. Née du désir de changement de psychanalystes déçus et d'anthropologues sans préjugés, elle avait pour ambition de développer une écologie de l'esprit humain et cherchait à découvrir les moyens permettant aux individus de développer une personnalité et un style de vie sains. Elle s'est aussi particulièrement intéressée aux processus de communication et de prise de conscience des émotions.

Survivor guilt. The issue of guilt in those who survive a terrorist attack appears in some reports... This seems to be part of meaning-making, so the person not only wonders why they were a victim but also why they survived while others were injured or died.... Workers need to help victims of terrorism understand that survivor guilt is not an uncommon reaction. Furthermore, you can help victims make sense of the attack, its impact on their life and get them to incorporate that knowledge into a future focus. Obviously, if this reaction is causing much distress, a referral to a mental health professional may also be helpful.

CONT

Culpabilité du survivant. Certains auteurs [...] font état d'un sentiment de culpabilité chez les personnes qui survivent à un attentat terroriste. Cela semble faire partie de la réflexion sur la recherche de la signification dans le cadre de laquelle la personne se demande non seulement pourquoi elle est une victime, mais aussi pourquoi elle a survécu alors que d'autres ont été blessées ou sont décédées. [...] Les intervenants doivent aider les victimes du terrorisme à comprendre que le sentiment de culpabilité du survivant n'est pas une réaction rare. De plus, vous pouvez aider les victimes à saisir la signification de l'attentat et de son incidence sur leur vie et les amener à se servir de ces connaissances pour faire une projection dans l'avenir. De toute évidence, si cette réaction cause beaucoup de détresse, il peut aussi être utile de diriger le client vers un spécialiste de la santé mentale.

Research would be conducted in the fields of basic biomedical science, clinical and applied health, health services and health care systems, and population health, with a particular focus on the determinants of health. The proposed main objectives of CHRIMCY is to reinforce individual investigator initiatives by aiding in the formation of networks of research teams that would cross disciplines, institutions, regions and the country. This includes providing mechanisms for researchers to work across the institutes of the CIHR.

Psychologist Mihaly Czikszentmihalyi(1990) has studied optimal or "autotelic" experiences-what he refers to as "flow experiences. "The word "autotelic' derives from two Greek words, ’auto’ meaning self, and ’telos’ meaning goal. It refers to a self-contained activity, one that is done not with the expectation of some future benefit, but simply because the doing itself is the reward, i. e., compelling mental focus. Czikszentmihalyi explains, "The autotelic experience, or flow, lifts the course of life to a different level. Alienation gives way to involvement, enjoyment replaces boredom, helplessness turns into a feeling of control, and psychic energy works to reinforce the sense of self, instead of being lost in the service of external goals".
