First, we briefly feature the TIPP program (Treatment and Early Intervention in Psychosis Program) and early management general concepts in early psychosis. One intervention objective in the early phase of psychotic disorders is proposing specific care adapted to this phase of the illness. From the start, the care team and especially the case manager, the care conductor, are faced with a huge information load in which they have to discern lines of force in order to install an adapted management. This article proposes a model that can constitute a valuable work tool for early intervention teams wanting to produce a case formulation and summarize patient clinical situations, extract from it a meaningful history, and thus facilitate the implementation of a therapeutic project.

The article examines the training of aides médico-psychologique (AMP) in France. These social workers work with their patients to improve their medical and psychological health. The author focuses on the importance of professional identity, feelings of belonging, and maintenance of self esteem as important for success in this profession. Many obstacles to success of these workers are mentioned such as heavy workloads, high expectations, and the need to often deal with contractions between the training they receive and the demands of the health care system.

This article discusses the concepts of democratic practice and social intervention, suggesting that they have reemerged on the scene of social service. The author looks first at what these terms mean and then goes on to describe how they can be implemented. Several challenges that may arise when this is done are also presented.
