[The Bomoko workshop in a day hospital for obese adolescents]. / L'atelier Bomoko en hôpital de jour pour adolescents obèses.

The Bomoko workshop of the Maison de Solenn-Maison des adolescents of the Cochin hospital is aimed at obese adolescents who are treated at the day hospital during a therapeutic education day. It was born from the common and multidisciplinary desire of a team to propose an innovative device combining psychomotricity and Photolanguage® to encourage the connection between body sensations, emotions and thoughts. Thanks to the time of body mediation, the work of expression and psychic elaboration is facilitated during the Photolanguage®.

Bibiane Ramerstorfer is an educator for the judicial protection of youth. She takes care of minors under justice, in civil or penal matters. After having worked in a home, she now works in an open environment and regularly uses the photolanguage® method which, through visuals, allows young people to express their feelings, to share experiences that are sometimes traumatic and to verbalize physical concerns.

Violência social e migração: o surgimento de traços traumáticos em um grupo photolangage / Social violence and migration: the emergence of traumatic traces in a photolangage group / Violencia social y migración: la aparición de rasgos traumáticos en un grupo de photolangage

Em um contexto de violência e grande precariedade social, os fluxos migratórios contemporâneos questionam nossos dispositivos de cuidado e, em particular, o dispositivo individual. A potencialidade traumática da migração forçada nos coloca face à complexidade da clínica em um contexto transcultural. Por meio de um dispositivo original, baseado no uso da mediação pela imagem em um grupo de requerentes de asilo, tentaremos mostrar como o uso da terapia de grupo, por um lado, e da mediação pela fotografia, por outro, podem contribuir para promoção dos processos associativos e de representação dos afetos e de traços traumáticos subjacentes.

In a context of social violence and great precariousness, contemporary migratory flows call into question our care devices and the individual setting in particular. The issue regarding potential traumas due to forced migration put us in front of the complexity of the clinical picture in a transcultural context. Through an original device based on the use of image mediation in a group of asylum seekers, we will try to show how the use of group therapy, on the one hand, and photographic mediation, on the other, can give a crucial contribution to foster the associative and representation processes of the affections and the underlying traumatic traces.

[Photolangage® workshops in the therapeutic education of obese teenagers]. / L'atelier Photolangage® dans l'éducation thérapeutique des adolescents obèses.

A photolanguage workshop was organised as part of a therapeutic education day for obese teenagers. It is a valuable way of establishing links between their eating habits and their emotions, and to help them become aware of the benefit of psychotherapy. In addition this workshop helps to remove the common inhibitions of these young people, helping them to express themselves around the often painful experience of being overweight and their relational and family difficulties.

[Therapeutic mediation tools for the benefit of the child and teenager]. / Les médiations thérapeutiques au service de l'enfant et de l'adolescent.

Therapeutic mediation is a tool adapted to teenagers with a chronic disease such as diabetes. Psychodrama, dramatherapy and photolanguage in particular, enable them to express themselves more freely through both speech and body, thanks to the enjoyment they get from the game, the reassurance provided by the group, the structured setting and the spontaneity they allow.
