New philosophical practices (NPP) are developing in schools from preschool to secondary level, as well as in health care settings. A classroom community of inquiry is a group of children who inquire together about common problematic issues in such a way that they build on each other's ideas, offer each other counterexamples, question each other's inferences and encourage each other to come up with alternative views and solutions to the problem at hand and follow the inquiry where it leads. Those new practices rely on a philosophically-oriented discussion or community philosophy. Therapists like Cinq-Mars (2005) or Loison-Apter (2010, 2011) observe that beneficial therapeutic effects follow philosophical activity according to current practice in community philosophy (CP). Loison-Apter (2010, 2011) speaks about the psychotherapeutic effects of using philosophy through philosophical dialogue as practiced in thinking communities according to the method developed by Lipman (1995, 2006). She finds a correlation between the psychotherapeutic effects and the quality of the relational climate of the thinking community, linked at last with the quality of learning how to philosophize. The child psychiatrist Ribalet (2008) offered a philosophical workshop to prevent mental suffering. Like the ancient sages, he acknowledged the therapeutic virtue of philosophy because it "takes care of the soul". This therapeutic virtue lies in the fact that the philosophical workshop aims at developing the capability to reflect, caring for others, and thus self-esteem. In doing so, he endorses an existential therapeutic approach which is less known in French speaking countries since Viktor Frankl's "Man's Search for Meaning: An Introduction to Logotherapy" has only been translated in 1988, while already published in German in 1946 and in English in 1959. We think therefore that the new philosophical practices could help question the meaning, not the global meaning, but the meaning a person is giving to his life's journey at a given time. The existential analysis or logotherapy developed by Frankl is defined as "a therapy based on the meaning of life" (Frankl 2006: 99). This author speaks also about "noogenic neurosis" as the impossibility to find meaning in life due to an existential vacuum. For Frankl "the noogenic neuroses result from a lack of meaning in life" (Frankl 2006: 101). While the 21 st century might seem to be much "psychologized", we agree with Frankl (2006) that it is not possible to leave aside existential questions which are linked to the transcendental or noetic dimension of our humanity, as it is an integral part of it. Furthermore, Besson (2014), a pioneer known for integrating spiritual issues in mental health care at the CHUV (Hospital of Lausanne), points out in an interview broadcasted by "A vue d'Esprit" in February 2014, that there is a relevant link to be seen between mental health and spirituality when defining mental-health policy as part of a community intelligence seeking answers in the prevention of and caring...
Cette contribution présente quelques illustrations cliniques du concept de Rétablissement. A l’aide d’une analyse d’un suivi issu de la clinique psychothérapeutique, elle souligne en quoi la logothérapie contribue à cette orientation d’une prise en soins axée sur le rétablissement.
Der Zugang zu einem Forschungsfeld wird wenig analysiert, gibt aber Auskunft über die Art des Feldes und die gesammelten Daten. Diese Analyse ist daher von besonderem Interesse und bereichert die Forschung. Dieser Artikel, der im Rahmen eines Forschungsprojekts über die Unterrichtspraxis im Fach "Ethique et cultures religieuses (Ethik und religiöse Kulturen)" an Primarschulen in drei Kantonen der Westschweiz durchgeführt wurde, untersucht die Bedingungen des Feldzugangs in den Schulen, die verschiedenen Schritte, die für den Zugang zu den Akteur_innen und Daten erforderlich waren, sowie die verschiedenen Interaktionen und Aushandlungen, zu denen diese Schritte geführt haben. Ziel ist es, darüber nachzudenken, wie dieser Prozess des Zugangs zum Feld sowohl das Feld selber als auch die gewonnen Daten geprägt hat und was er uns über den Alltag der schulischen Forschung in der Schweiz aussagt.
