"Just like other experts, members of the professions develop their craft thanks to a deep internalisation of both complex cognitive structures and a mix of habits and intuitive understandings. These non-cognitive aspects of expertise can be what distinguishes the merely competent from the truly brilliant. Yet habits can also be what makes us blind to important features of the world we inhabit. In the life of a professional, these features include the vulnerability of those seeking her services, which in turn grounds the professional's particular ethical responsibility. This book develops an in-depth account of habit to understand its impact upon the way moral decisions are made in a professional context. Its central thesis is the following: what most often stands in the way of a professional meeting her ethical responsibility is not so much stupidity (or character defects) but rather the deleterious aspects of habituation. This book calls for renewed attention to be paid to habits and their relationship to ethical agency. Mostly neglected in moral and legal theory, such an inquiry not only conditions an adequate understanding of the risks inherent in a legal system's institutional structure. It is also essential if we are to come to grips with the challenges raised by the professions' growing reliance upon automated systems.".

La douleur est une expérience commune. Pour certaines personnes, elle est plus que cela. En devenant chronique, elle déroute une vie, une identité et les relations aux autres. elle peut être isolée (lombalgie, fibromyalgie, migraine ...) ou partie intégrante d'un tableau plus vaste ( endométriose, cancer, pathologies rhumatismales...) Dans tous les cas, aucun intervenant dans le champ de la santé ne peut rester sourd à cette lame de fond qui travaille à désorganiser la vie psychique, somatique, relationnelle, existentielle d'une personne. Cet ouvrage se destine aux professionnels qui souhaitent mieux comprendre les implications psychopathologiques de la douleur et comment un patient avec un trouble douloureux chronique peut être accompagné dans un cadre psychothérapeutique. En effet, ces accompagenements demandent un savoir et une méthode particulière qui sont ici explicités selon différentes approches et sensibilités : psychanalytique, cognitive-comportementale, existentielle / humaniste, systémique. Des illustrations sont données ainsi que des méthodes (écoute active, analyse du transfert, le dessin comme médiation, l'hypnothérapie...). 16 cas cliniques variés sont ainsi explicités afin que les expériences douloureuses des patients ne restent plus "anédoctiques" ou considérées comme banales ou inévitables selon les contextes.
