“…In particular, events have been shown to be associated with the onset of acute schizophre nia, depression, and anxiety disorders [Bar rett, 1979;Brown, 1974;Cooper and Sylph, 1973;Paykel, 1974], Other researchers have focused on relationships between life events and symptom scales that measure various types of psychological distress rather than outright disorders; these studies have indi cated that individuals who report more life events tend to report more psychological symptoms [Markush and Favero, 1974;Myers et al, 1971;Uhlenhuth et al, 1974;Warheit. 1979].…”

Although research indicates that stressful life events commonly precede the onset of a variety of psychological disorders, reported correlations have consistently been only moderately strong. The present study examined the possibility that the health locus of control (HLC) mediates the relationship between life event stress and psychopathology. Subjects were 81 male volunteers between the ages of 21 and 62. The SCL-90-R was utilized to measure psychological symptom status. Subjects’ perceptions regarding the desirability and controllability of experienced events were examined. Life events which were perceived to be both undesirable and uncontrollable were significantly correlated with the indices of psychopathology only for subjects who were external in HLC. Externals also showed significant correlations between events which were perceived as being undesirable but under personal control and psychological symptoms. The results suggest that externals are more vulnerable to life event stress than internals. Practical implications for health psychologists are discussed.

“…Cooper & Sylph concluded that major life events play a significant role in the causation of neurotic illness. Myers et al (1971Myers et al ( ,1972 conducted a survey of life events and psychological impairment (essentially the presence of neurotic symptoms but not necessarily of illness) in a community sample of 938 adults. They found a Pearson correlation of 0-34 between the measures.…”

Cet aricle est une revue de la littérature extensive sur l'intervention de crise. Les auteurs explorent les fondements théoriques de cette approche et les évaluent grâce à une analyse approfondie des recherches sur ce sujet. Plus précisément, ils énoncent une définition de la crise, les classifient, explicitent son processus et décrivent comment se réalise une intervention en situation de crise. Dans la deuxième partie, ils examinent le phénomène de Ia dépendance et les facteurs déterminants au cours de ce processus. Ensuite, ils scrutent le postulat des facteurs précipitants pour déboucher, suite à sa critique, sur la nécessité de considérer les facteurs médiateurs comme variables explicatives de la résolution de la crise.This article is an extensive review of literature on crisis intervention. The authors explore the theoretical grounds of this approach and rate them by means of a thorough analysis of the research done on the subject. More precisely they elaborate a definition of a crisis, provide a classification of same, explain its process and describe how the intervention develops in a crisis situation. They examine, in the second part, the dependence phenomenon, and the determining factors encountered. Then, they study the notion of the triggering factors that lead them to the necessity of taking into account the mediatory factors and explanatory variables in the resolution of the crisis
