model of paediatric chronic pain, which draws upon Self-
Determination Theory for understanding risks and resources for
living with chronic pain. This study examined the relationship
between basic psychological need satisfaction (i.e. the satisfaction
of the needs for autonomy, relatedness and competence) and the
fear-avoidance model of pain in adolescents suffering from chronic
pain. Hundred and twenty adolescents (mean age = 14.52, 71.6%
female), receiving treatment through paediatric pain centres for
chronic pain, were enrolled. Adolescents completed measures of
basic psychological need satisfaction, fear and avoidance of pain,
and pain-related functional impairment. Path analyses model indicated
that higher levels of autonomy and competence satisfaction
were associated with lower levels of functional disability, through
the mediation of fear and avoidance of pain. Relatedness satisfaction
was not significatively related to fear of pain, avoidance, and
functional disability. The integration of Self-Determination Theory
in the paediatric pain literature may further our understanding of
potential resources for decreasing functional disability in children
living with chronic pain.

In this article, using the French example, we propose a study of some of the actors and debates that structured this history. Strangely enough, it was not a "classic" experimental psychologist, but Pierre Naville (1904 -1993), a former surrealist, Marxist philosopher, and sociologist, who can be identified as the initial promoter of Watson's ideas in France. However, despite Naville's unwavering commitment to behaviorism, his weak position in the French intellectual community, combined with his idiosyncratic view of Watson's work, led him to embody, as he once described himself, the figure of "the damned behaviorist." Indeed, when Naville was unsuccessfully trying to introduce behaviorism into France, alternative theories defended by philosophers such as Jean-Paul Sartre and Maurice Merleau-Ponty explicitly condemned Watson's theory and met with rapid and major success. Both existentialism and phenomenology were more in line than behaviorism with what could be called the "French national narrative" of the immediate postwar. After the humiliation of the occupation by the Nazis, the French audience was especially critical of any deterministic view of behavior that could be seen as a justification for collaboration. By contrast, Sartre's ideas about absolute freedom and Merleau-Ponty's attempt to preserve subjectivity were far more acceptable at the time.

Self-Determination eory proposes that the satisfaction of one's basic psychological needs (for autonomy, relatedness, and competence) is crucial for understanding human flourishing and healthy development. However, the role of the basic psychological needs received little attention in a pediatric-pain population. Yet, we propose that need satisfaction may be a resilience factor and need frustration a risk factor, for living with chronic pain. In this topical review, we first discuss two major models that have been developed to understand pain-related disability: the fear-avoidance model of pain and the ecological resilience-risk model in pediatric chronic pain. Both models have been used with children and adolescents but do not include a developmental perspective. erefore, we introduce Self-Determination eory and highlight the potentially moderating and mediating role of the basic needs on pain-related disability in children and adolescents. Taken together, we believe that Self-Determination eory is compatible with the fear-avoidance model of pain and the ecological resilience-risk model in pediatric chronic pain and may deepen our understanding of why some adolescents are able to live adaptively in spite of chronic pain.

Methods: We followed a group of 122 children with a mean age of 10.1 (±1.3) years, with headache from a paediatric migraine centre in Paris who had taken part in a previous study from September 2007 to June 2008. This five-year longitudinal study took place in January to June 2012. The measures that were used included demographic variables, headache diagnosis, headache data and a psychological assessment. Results: At the five-year point, about 22% of the children had become headache free, 34% had little to no disability and 36% had a changed diagnosis. Moreover, a longer history of headache at baseline was associated with a worse evolution of headache at follow up. Lastly, high depression scores, but not anxiety, was a predictor of more headache disability at follow up. Conclusion: High depression scores in childhood was a risk factor that was associated with persistence and worsening of headaches in adolescence. This suggests that mental health assessments should be carried out in paediatric headache pain clinics.

Le PedMI-DAS est composé de six questions qui évaluent le retentis-sement des céphalées sur la vie de tous les jours. Soixante-treize enfants ont pris part à cette étude. Ce questionnaire montre une fiabilité satisfaisante (α = 0,76), une bonne sta-bilité temporelle (corrélation test-retest = 0,85) et de nom-breuses corrélations avec les caractéristiques des céphalées, les troubles émotionnels et la qualité de vie. Mots clés Migraine · Céphalée · Enfant · Impact fonctionnel · PedMIDAS Abstract The aim of this paper is to validate a French version of the Pediatric Migraine Disability Assessment (Ped-MIDAS). The PedMIDAS is a six-question tool that assesses the disability caused by headaches in school-age children and adolescents. A total of 73 participants completed the questionnaire. Overall, the questionnaire has a good internal consistency (α = 0.76), test-retest reliability (0.85), and several correlations with headache characteristics, emotional disorders, and quality of life.

At the beginning of the 1970s, after a discreet introduction, the development of this movement provoked an adverse reaction related to the French intellectual context, which was characterized by a taste for psychoanalysis. At the height of the Cold War, this new form of therapy was, moreover, seen as a typical product of American culture, and viewed as a technique for mind control that would be incompatible with French humanist values. In this respect, the French rejection of behavioral therapies can also be placed in a broader context, one of anti-Americanism and assertion of the French "cultural exception." Thus, until the late 1980s, the development of the French behavior therapy movement was weak compared with what happened in the United Kingdom or the United States. Conversely, psychoanalysis reigned unchallenged in the French market for psychotherapy. In the early 1990s, the arrival of cognitive-behavioral therapy made a crucial difference. Hybridized with cognitive techniques, cognitive-behavioral therapy was seen as a "synthetic product" better suited to the French culture in psychotherapy than the initial model of "pure" behavior therapy.

Elle fut aussi une proche de Gustave Le Bon (1841-1931), passionnée comme lui par les sciences et fréquenta notamment les scientifiques de L'Institut Pasteur. Outre son oeuvre de psychanalyste, elle publia en 1937 un texte sur le cancer de sa chienne Topsy qui sera traduit en allemand par Freud et connaitra un réel succès éditorial. L'analyse de cet ouvrage met à jour non seulement les spécificités de son rapport à l'animal mais aussi celui qu'elle entretient avec la science.

Pour répondre à ces difficultés, les travaux de recherche relatifs à la prise en charge psychologique de la douleur chronique se sont multipliés dans les vingt dernières années. Ainsi, on dispose actuellement d'un nombre important de propositions thérapeutiques pertinentes. Pourtant, cette littérature empirique n'est pas toujours suffisam-ment connue des professionnels qui travaillent auprès de ces patients. L'objectif de cet article est de proposer une synthèse des études sur l'efficacité des approches psychologiques dans la douleur chronique en pédiatrie. Globalement, on peut retenir que les thérapies comporte-mentales et cognitives, la relaxation, le biofeedback et l'hypnose sont des approches qui ont fait leurs preuves dans cette indication. Elles ont un effet significatif sur l'intensité douloureuse, la fréquence des crises, l'impact fonctionnel et améliorent probablement la qualité de vie des enfants et de leur entourage. Ces approches psychologiques doivent être intégrées à la prise en charge médicale classique. Elles impliquent d'adopter une perspective biopsychosociale et de mettre en place une collaboration effective entre psychologues et médecins.

She did so against Freud's advice with whom she was in analysis. Among psychoanalysts these operations are still often regarded as "errors" or aberrations. But for Marie Bonaparte, who was in various ways familiar with physics and a somatic approach, surgery was the first choice, psychoanalysis only a possible alternative. She was not impressed by the scepticism of her colleagues, and adhered even more emphatically to her own strategy.

Comorbid psychological conditions, risk factors and functional outcomes of CDH in children are not well understood. OBJECTIVES: To examine anxiety and depression, associated risk factors and school outcomes in a clinical population of youth with CDH compared with youth with episodic headache (EH). METHODS: Data regarding headache characteristics, anxiety, depression and missed school days were collected from 368 consecutive patients eight to 17 years of age, who presented with primary headache at a specialized pediatric headache centre. RESULTS: A total of 297 patients (81%) were diagnosed with EH and 71 were diagnosed with CDH. Among those with CDH, 78.9% presented with chronic tension-type headache and 21.1% with chronic migraine (CM). Children with CDH had a higher depression score than the standardized reference population. No difference was observed for anxiety or depression scores between children with CDH and those with EH. However, children with CM were more anxious and more depressed than those with chronic tension-type headache. Youth experiencing migraine with aura were three times as likely to have clinically significant anxiety scores. Headache frequency and history were not associated with psychopathological symptoms. Children with CDH missed school more often and for longer periods of time. CONCLUSIONS: These findings document the prevalence of anxiety, depression and school absenteeism in youth with CDH or EH. The present research also extends recent studies examining the impact of aura on psychiatric comorbidity and the debate on CM criteria.

Alors que 5 à 10 % des enfants sont migraineux, le diagnostic n’est posé que pour une petite partie d’entre eux. La migraine est pourtant la première cause de céphalées intenses récurrentes chez l’enfant, la plupart des professionnels cherchant vainement une cause, et évoquant « les yeux, une gastro, les sinus ou bien une origine psy… ». Cet ouvrage a pour double objectif de présenter l’état de la science (épidémiologie, physiopathologie, génétique…) qui s’est largement enrichi ces dix dernières années et d’apporter aux professionnels des outils concrets pour identifier les céphalées et améliorer la prise en charge des enfants et des adolescents migraineux. Les céphalées de tension, les céphalées chroniques, les syndromes épisodiques associés à la migraine sont aussi détaillés. Illustré de nombreuses vignettes cliniques, cet ouvrage précise les critères diagnostiques, les pièges et les idées fausses ; il décrit comment rechercher les facteurs déclenchants et particulièrement ceux d’origine psychosociale, comment utiliser et combiner les traitements médicamenteux et non médicamenteux (notamment les approches psychothérapeutiques et psychocorporelles). Telle est l’ambition de ce livre, destiné à tous les professionnels confrontés à des enfants et des adolescents migraineux, mais également accessible en grande partie aux familles.

que l’élève et l’amie de sigmund Freud. Cette proximité avec ce dernier et son rôle capital dans le développement de la psychanalyse en France ont fait d’elle une véritable figure de l’orthodoxie du freudisme chez ses contempo- rains. Pourtant, Marie Bonaparte a développé une conception de la discipline – ancrée dans les sciences naturelles plutôt que dans les sciences humaines – à contre-courant des idéaux de la psychanalyse française de l’après-guerre. Aujourd’hui, lorsque l’on évoque son nom c’est généralement avec ironie voire avec moquerie.
L’ouvrage de Rémy Amouroux, qui s’appuie sur une étude approfondie d’archives en grande partie inédites ou méconnues, retrace l’univers intellec- tuel et culturel dans lequel vivait la princesse de Grèce. Il explore ses différents réseaux relationnels : les milieux psychanalytiques mais aussi scientifiques et littéraires. On y croise des scientifiques de l’Institut Pasteur, des écrivains de l’avant-garde littéraire, et des personnages étonnants comme Gustave Le Bon qui fut, avant Freud, son premier mentor. en replaçant l’œuvre scientifique de Marie Bonaparte dans son contexte, ce livre montre que sa lecture biologisante du freudisme n’avait alors rien d’exceptionnel et constituait une vision, certes originale, mais néanmoins admise. Plutôt que de discréditer ou de réhabiliter Marie Bonaparte, cet ouvrage cherche à lui restituer sa part d’inactualité.
