Abstract: Alexandre Saint-Jevin While the use, investment and appropriation of sex objects is studied by other disciplines, it is a field of research neglected by psychology. Returning to the history of sex toys, it is a question of proposing elements of understanding of the psychic functioning at work in this sexuality, from the psychoanalytical point of view. Based on the Cultural studies on the subject in order to open up clinical psychology to a non-normative approach. The term “sex toys” is relating to the sex objects industry of the twentieth century, we propose here to focus on their taking in practice alone. In order to understand if the relation of a person to his sex-toy is limited to that of a exciter of partial object.

Abstract: Camille Girard, Clairélaine Ouellet-Plamondon, J. Éric Dubé and Amal Abdel-Baki Some individuals only show a limited response to commonly-used treatments in early intervention for psychosis. In such cases, many advocate the use of adjunct interventions, such as Adventure Therapy (AT). A thematic analysis of interviews conducted with 15 adults followed at the Early Intervention for Psychosis services of the Centre hospitalier de l’Université de Montréal identified six therapeutic components perceived by the participants as significant in their experience of an AT program: a) space-time outside of everyday life; b) space-time in nature; c) programming; d) emotionally intense adventure activities; e) group life; and f) inclusion of health practitioners.

Abstract: Véronique Lachance, Amandine Baude, Sylvie Drapeau, Marie-Hélène Gagné, Hans Ivers and Sarah Dussault This prospective study presents a typology of relationship patterns in the period surrounding parental separation. This typology is based on indicators related to the interparental and father-child subsystems. Latent class analysis was conducted on the data for 173 mothers of children aged four to eight. The results brought to light four types of family dynamics, which are distinguished by the length of the parents’ pre-separation relationship and by the presence of a court order for child custody. This typology of relationship patterns in the period surrounding the separation will help to develop appropriate intervention strategies and thereby avoid exacerbating the difficulties that family members may have.

Abstract: Catherine Cimon-Paquet, Félix Albert Bélanger and Marie-Hélène Véronneau Despite the call to examine mutual influences between students and their teachers, there is a lack of studies examining bidirectional links between perceived teacher–student relationship climate and problematic adolescents’ substance use. Thus, this paper aims to investigate these bidirectional links among 311 high school students (65% girls) assessed at two time points. Results suggest that high substance use is related to a deterioration in adolescents’ perception of their teacher–student relationship climate with teachers, a year later. Therefore, this study indicates that interventions targeting adolescents’ substance use problems may be useful to improve adolescents’ relationships with teachers.

Abstract: Héloïse Haliday and Lise Demailly This article deals with professional/user interactions in French psychiatry and offers to distinguish four "therapeutic styles" according to their use of tools to sustain these interactions: 1°) absence of tools and informality of interactions; 2°) use of rituals to maintain contact with the patient, no formalization; 3°) use of therapeutic methods; 4°) use of tools: a) to ease expression and interactions, b) such as protocols or c) standardized. We propose to distinguish between formalization and standardization of interactions and conclude on the role of the feeling of powerlessness of caregivers in the conflict between therapeutic approaches in psychiatry.

Abstract: Sandrine Chavallard and Nathalie Poirier This article regroups the scientific data available from the last ten years concerning exclusive yoga practice for children and adolescents with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). A checklist was designed and used to examine the participants characteristics and the modalities of this practice. The review suggests a positive influence of yoga programs on some associated behaviours affecting young with ASD such as irritability, restlessness, self-harm or agressive behaviours. This review provides a detailed representation of the yoga programs and their effects. Recommendations are provided for professionals who are interested in practicing yoga as a therapy for youth with ASD.
