Que dire et faire des épreuves de l’intervention ? La clinique de l’intervention comme ressource pour agir en santé au travail

Abstract

Numerous theoretical and methodological frameworks exist for action in occupational health. Likewise, institutional recommendations and regulatory incentives have sought to change practices so that organizations can work to prevent risks. However, a number of obstacles stand in the way of this transformation. This article examines how the clinic of intervention can be a resource to support intervention processes aimed at transforming work. Based on a case study (an intervention carried out with psychologists working in occupational health departments), the authors seek to make visible the reality of an intervention, its concrete implementation and the reshuffles it brings about, as elements that reveal not only the obstacles and resistance in the field, but also the dilemmas in which the professionals themselves find themselves in the exercise of their profession. How do the trade-offs made by practitioners between their intervention framework and the reality of their work inform us about the intervention process and the social context in which it takes place? This is the main question addressed in this article.
