"Entre 35 % et 50 % des individus déficients intellectuels ont des troubles du comportement qui ont un impact négatif à la fois sur leur qualité de vie et sur celle de leur entourage. Mais qu'est-ce que la déficience intellectuelle exactement ? Et quelles en sont les causes ? Qu'est-ce qu'un trouble du comportement ? Et qu'est-ce qu'on peut qualifier de trouble du comportement chez les personnes déficientes intellectuelles ? Comment comprendre ces moments de crise ? Et comment agir et réagir face à ces situations tendues ? Ce nouveau livre de la collection "La réponse du psy" s'adresse à l'entourage des personnes déficientes intellectuelles. Vivre avec un proche en situation de handicap n'est pas toujours simple mais c'est dans la compréhension mutuelle et le respect des limites et possibilités de chacun qu'une meilleure autonomie et une cohabitation harmonieuse peuvent s'établir."--Page 4 de la couverture.

What is day-to-day life like for people with profound intellectual and multiple disabilities who live in group homes? How do they express their desires and wishes? How do care workers think about them and treat them? Do they have basic rights to activities most of us take for granted: activities like sociability, sexuality, and moral affirmation? Narrowed Lives is an illuminating portrait of what life is like in Finnish group homes where adults who have profound intellectual and multiple disabilities live their lives. Based upon ethnographic data, it documents how care workers strive to guarantee individuality and dignity against a backdrop of scarce resources and misguided policies. This book argues that the lives of people with profound disabilities need not be determined by their impairments. It calls for a re-evaluation of disability policy so that its underlying conviction of people with profound intellectual and multiple disabilities as equally valuable fellow humans would materialise in practice. This novel and accessible book combines ethnography and philosophy, and will be of interest to researchers and students in disability studies, special education and philosophy, as well as parents, professionals and policy makers.
