AVE occurs when someone who is striving for abstinence from a particular behavior or substance experiences a setback, such as a lapse or relapse. Instead of viewing the incident as a temporary setback, the individual perceives it as evidence of personal failure, leading to increased feelings of guilt, shame, and hopelessness...

The term [slum demolition] is often used interchangeably (though incorreclty) with "slum clearance." Slum demolition, though legally and judicially authorized, can aggravate slum conditions by crowding the displaced slum dwellers into the residual slum inventory. Since crowding is one of the most harmful aspects of slum life, a slum surplus is often to be preferred to a slum shortage. 3, record 8, English, - slum%20clearance

L'idée de suicide peut, en effet, être plus ou moins explicite selon les trois degrés de volonté psychologique : l'intention, la rumination et l'idée suicidaire. Lorsque le patient a pris la décision d'attenter à ses jours, il veut passer à l'acte et, souvent, il a pris des dispositions en ce sens; cette étape constitue l'«intention suicidaire». À un niveau moins grave se situe la «rumination suicidaire», lorsque le sujet ressasse des pensées suicidaires insistantes.

Large numbers of low-income Canadians experience emotional distress (Stephens 1981); feelings of futility, helplessness, inadequacy, and depression contribute to a life-setting conducive to illness - a syndrome which Engel (1968) has called "the giving-up/given-up complex". Engel proposes that this emotional state reflects "the failure of mental coping mechanisms with concurrent alterations in biological mechanisms reducing the body’s ability to deal with pathogenic process and permitting disease to develop." 3, record 15, English, - giving%2Dup%2Fgiven%2Dup%20complex

From descriptions by patients of their life setting and their feelings during the period antedating illness onset we can identify five characteristics of the giving-up-given-up complex :(1) the giving up affects of helplessness or hopelessness;(2) a depreciated image of oneself;(3) a loss of gratification from relationships or roles in life;(4) a disruption of the sense of continuity between past, present, and future; and(5) a reactivation of memories of earlier periods of giving up. 4, record 15, English, - giving%2Dup%2Fgiven%2Dup%20complex

L'anglais répète deux fois le verbe "give-up" afin de marquer l'enchaînement entre la démission psychologique et la démission physique. En français on obtient cette insistance en utilisant les déterminants "enchaîne" ou "en cascade". 1, record 15, French, - r%C3%A9action%20de%20d%C3%A9missions%20en%20cha%C3%AEne
