sion sociale est un enjeu majeur de notre société. Pourtant, malgré les incantations pour sa mise en oeuvre, et parce qu’elle impose une profonde transformation sociétale, l’inclusion n’avance pas assez vite.
Dans cet entretien avec Lætitia Delhon, Raymond Lemay, spécialiste de la Valorisation des rôles sociaux (VRS), montre que cette approche de l’intervention sociale constitue une voie d’excellence pour l’intégration réelle des personnes vulnérables. Étonnamment peu développée en France, la VRS vise à prendre conscience des processus de dévalorisation sociale, à permettre l’accès à des rôles sociaux valorisés (travail, citoyenneté…) et à un retour à la vie normale (logement, lien social…) en cessant de figer les personnes dans des symptômes ou des carences.
Optimiste, humaniste et d’une apparente simplicité, cette méthode, nécessitant humilité, engagement et volonté de réforme, marque durablement les praticiens qui y sont formés et qui témoignent dans cet ouvrage. Cet outil permettra aux professionnels du travail social et médico-social de s’en approprier les principes et de transformer le quotidien des personnes accompagnées pour leur redonner leur juste place, avec les autres et comme les autres.

I just ran across this review (unpublished) I wrote in 2002 about David Snowden's "Aging with Grace." Though the book is now close to 20 years old, its findings are still astounding - among other things it reports that some of the Nuns in the study had serious alzheimers deterioration to their brains, but showed no signs of dementia and the opposite was also true.Clearly though we can speculate that the loss of valued roles may contribute to the development of dementia. In any event read the review but better still read the book:David Snowdon (2001). Aging with Grace: What the Nun Study Teaches Us About Leading Longer, Healthier, and More Meaningful Lives. New York: Bantam Books. It is still available at Amazon. The review was never published and could have used an editor.
(348 pages).
The author concludes with the following simple but eloquent statement “it is not a story of remarkable people. It is a story of just how remarkable people can be” (page 276).
Neuroimaging is all the rage and some skeptics have labelled coloured fMRI images neuroporn especially when used for mental health issues. William Uttal was already worried in 2001. This is a good read about why we should be skeptical about neuroscience when researchers make claims about the brain and behaviour, cognition and the mind. the brain/mind is complex (non-linear) and will give up its secrets very slowly, if at all.
