Mots pour maux . Théories diagnostiques et problèmes de santé

Abstract: International audienceThe respondent reporting on health problems collected in 1999 by the French national survey “Handicaps-Incapacités-Dépendance” [Disabilities-infirmity-dependence] provides access to a multitude of ways of presenting health disorders. Textual analysis of this material shows that self-reports vary by social background, illustrating Luc Boltanski’s notion of somatic culture. However, it is possible to go beyond this observation and show that ways of presenting health problems are also and in… Show more

“…Methodologically, troubles are induced retrospectively, because they are, by definition, embedded in posterior interpretation. The concept of trouble fits particularly well with dementia, since dementia‐related problems can be interpreted in many different fashions, before being formally qualified; from little difficulties due to the ‘normal’ process of ageing, the emotional consequences of retirement, or the effects of another health problem (Béliard and Eideliman ). The range of possible interpretations varies all the more across cultures (Cohen ).…”

“…This disease recently gained important media coverage, frightening some elders who sometimes go to memory clinics for the slightest memory loss (Brossard ). Furthermore, there are many ways to present such disorders (Béliard & Eideliman ) and some of them prevent from the use of health services (Carpentier et al . ): ‘little’ memory loss or even punctual disorientation episodes can be considered as due to ‘normal’ ageing; therefore, formal medical advice is not necessary.…”

“…If the programmes devoted to socalled abnormal (to become "maladjusted") childhood and to disabled adults have merged into the field of disability, the boundary with the more aged has been maintained, as shown by the persistence of an eligibility threshold of 60 years of age for several measures, effectively distinguishing disability (in children and adults) from dependency (in the elderly) (Weber, 2011). The consequences of these divisions by criteria of age are significant and not limited to administrative divisions; they also influence how individuals categorize their health problems (Béliard and Eideliman, 2014). Jean-François Ravaud, Isabelle Ville and Alain Letourmy (2002) show that the probability of declaring oneself disabled, for equivalent everyday limitations, "depends on the economic value of a person in terms of employment" (Ibid., p. 549).…”

“…Cette forme de mise en scène d'une interaction jeune/praticien jouée par un intervenant rencontré au Québec est des plus parlante, car elle éclaire avec perspicacité les raisons des « malaises professionnels » vécus autour de la communication concernant les troubles mentaux :« On l'a jamais amené à l'hôpital pour ça (un trouble mental), je veux dire, c'est comme un original dans son environnement et finalement, il y a beaucoup de choses qui font qu'il nuit à autrui parce qu'il a une problématique au niveau de sa santé, c'est pas de sa faute, tu sais, il en a besoin, mais c'est très touchy aussi comme on dit, parce qu'on peut pas dire à un jeune, je pense que tu as un problème de santé mentale, ah tu penses que je suis fou ! (il imite le jeune en tapant sur la table et en s'exclamant), là tu peux le perdre aussi là comprends schizophrénie, il va se poser des questions qu'est-ce que je fous là, il va faire, quoi tu penses que je suis fou, il faut que tu répondes et il te regarde là, tu comprends donc tout est là aussi, mais il n'a pas de diagnostic donc comment l'amener avant un diagnostic et c'est dans le lien et des fois, ça prend du temps, tu comprends » (Intervenant psychosocial, CJE, Québec) proche, démontrant le rôle de quête de sens(Béliard et Eideliman, 2014;Strauss et Corbin, 1988) et de reconnaissance(Honneth, 2013) que peut jouer le diagnostic. Néanmoins, parler des troubles mentaux peut soumettre les praticiens à d'autres situations d'embarras à lier à la période charnière qu'est le devenir adulte.5.2.2 Performativité des diagnostics dans un tournant identitaire« Ce processus (de demande de prestations AI) dans un moment où l'identité et le narcissisme sont mis à mal, c'est compliqué.…”
