Dans la famille, l’autisme ou la présence d’un diagnostic de trouble du spectre de l’autisme (TSA) engendre des besoins variés et modifie le contexte dans lequel les parents exercent leurs rôles familiaux et sociaux. Il est connu que les réseaux de soutien occupent un rôle protecteur de premier plan pour la qualité de vie des familles, qu’il s’agisse des différents professionnels (réseau formel) ou des membres de la famille élargie (réseau informel). Cet article vise à analyser l’aide volontaire et les solidarités de proximité pouvant émerger de la communauté ou d’autres sphères de vie des parents (ex. emploi, voisinage, médias sociaux). Des entrevues semi-dirigées ont été réalisées auprès de treize familles de la province du Québec et dont l’enfant a reçu un diagnostic de TSA. Les résultats de l’analyse qualitative des données montrent que l’aide et les solidarités de proximité occupent une place importante dans la vie des familles rencontrées. Ces formes de soutien, hautement valorisées par les parents et propices au développement d’un lien identitaire, provenaient principalement d’autres parents d’enfants autistes de l’entourage ou rencontrés sur les médias sociaux. Les implications pour l’intervention sociale dans les contextes familiaux où l’enfant présente un TSA sont discutées.

La presente etude vise a mieux comprendre comment certains hommes utilisent le soutien social et l’isolement pour reguler leurs affects. Pour ce faire, 13 etudes de cas ont ete realisees avec des hommes ayant consulte un professionnel de la relation d’aide. Selon leurs temoignages, ces hommes s’isolaient et ils etaient generalement peu portes a parler de leurs problemes et de leurs affects avant de consulter. Apres un certain cheminement en consultation, les participants constatent parler davantage de leur vecu avec leur entourage. Ils estiment aussi que le fait d’en parler et de realiser des activites sociales avec des proches a permis de mieux gerer leurs affects, soit en evacuant le trop-plein, soit en s’alimentant d’emotions positives. Le soutien social recu a aussi contribue, selon eux, a mieux composer avec la situation-probleme a l’origine du bouleversement affectif. Avant d’en parler avec leur entourage, ils estiment avoir apprivoise leurs affects en consultation. Cet apprivoisement a ete facilite, a leur avis, par un climat de securite affective, l’ecoute, le non-jugement et les encouragements du professionnel consulte.

Le travail social est une profession qui s’est grandement transformee au cours des dernieres decennies, modulee par les diverses transformations sociales, politiques et organisationnelles de la societe dans laquelle elle evolue. Or, on retrouve aujourd’hui des recherches de plus en plus diversifiees, ou plusieurs visions du travail social coexistent. Ces visions multiples s’accompagnent de valeurs et de principes, mais egalement d’ideologies tantot dominantes, tantot marginales. Les peuples autochtones sont l’un des groupes les plus marginalises et leurs visions du monde le sont tout autant au sein de la profession.

In 2015, in an unexpected political upset, Alberta’s New Democratic Party was elected to govern for the first time in the province’s history. There were eight social workers amongst those elected, all of whom were interviewed for this research. The purpose of this qualitative study was to explore the motivations that led these social workers to seek political office, to identify factors in their personal and professional histories that explained their high level of political engagement, and to explore how the profession can increase the numbers of social workers pursuing political practice in the future. A standard qualitative thematic analysis of these interviews revealed that families of origin were influential motivators, and that social work education also played a significant role, as did professional experience and networks. Recommendations for change emerged from our findings. We discuss these with an emphasis on professional education and on what the academy can do to heighten levels of political engagement among future graduates.

Medical Assistance in Dying (MAID) is a legal federal framework for medical practitioners to assist in the cessation of life upon request from eligible patients who seek assisted death in order to die peacefully and with dignity. MAID’s ‘mentally competent’ eligibility criteria currently create confusion for social workers because they provide little guidance on how to best implement the desired practices intended to support the aims of MAID. Secondly, current criteria pose challenges for vulnerable populations, particularly patients with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). ALS patients who are deemed mentally incapable are denied access to MAID, suffering in pain every day until they die. Canada’s MAID policy infringes on their autonomy, and removes their choice to die with dignity. This injustice calls for further reconsideration of the ways MAID can be reformed to serve dying Canadians who are falling through the cracks of MAID. Policy recommendations include inclusion of advanced directives and substitute decision makers. Due to this unequal access in health care services, this concern constitutes a social work issue. Recommendations for social work include increasing competency, and advocacy regarding the provision of MAID.

This paper elaborates on the use of film-based clients in teaching narrative therapy in social work. In this paper, I provide my rationale for the use of film-based clients and then highlight the life story of Lars, taken from the film Lars and the Real Girl (2007), as an example of how film clients can be a helpful way of learning how to practice narrative therapy. The theory and epistemology of narrative therapy—and specifically a postmodern approach to the central organizing concepts of story, experience, self, knowledge, and power—are discussed. I then illustrate key elements of narrative practice with Lars as a film-based client. The attention to creating counternarratives challenges dominant social discourses in Lars’ story about mental health and coping with difficult life events, and the internalization of these ideas as part of the story of his identity. A positioned approach against the medicalization and pathologization of Lars’ struggles reflects the social justice commitment of narrative practice.
本文阐述了基于电影的来访者在社会工作叙事治疗教学中的应用。在本文中，我提供了我使用基于电影的客户的基本原理，然后强调Lars的生活故事，取自电影Lars and the Real Girl(2007)，作为电影客户如何成为学习如何实践叙事治疗的有益方式的一个例子。讨论了叙事疗法的理论和认识论，特别是对故事、经验、自我、知识和权力等中心组织概念的后现代方法。然后，我用Lars作为一个基于电影的客户来说明叙事实践的关键要素。对创造反叙事的关注挑战了Lars关于心理健康和应对困难生活事件的故事中占主导地位的社会话语，以及将这些想法内化为他身份故事的一部分。一种反对拉尔斯斗争的医学化和病态化的定位方法反映了叙事实践对社会正义的承诺。

The question of how through social work practice, theory and research social workers engage in “epistemic disobedience” in respect to the “epistemicide” of Others’ knowledges is crucial in the current neolielberal context. However, the possibilities of such resistance are becoming increasingly constrained by the encroachment of licensing requirements for social work professionals. This paper considers how the turn to professional regulation in social work via licensing competency standards further entrenches Western ways of knowing, while at the same time working in concert with neoliberalism to transform the social work profession in ways that stand to remove it from the reach of epistemic disobedience. The Canadian Council of Social Work Regulators’ competency standards are taken as the starting point for an analysis, which seeks to articulate the intersecting impacts of neoliberalism in social work practice, and the crucial place of social work regulation within this web of effects. In conclusion, the implications for social work education are raised and the urgency of epistemic resistance is considered.
