Perspectives pour le développement de la clinique du travail dans le contexte contemporain

Abstract

The development of the theoretical and methodological paradigms of the work clinic implies an empirical approach attentive to the major transformations in work. These call for greater attention to the dialectical unity of human activities. Many of these transformations accentuate the porosity of fields of activity, and the multiplication of bifurcations, ruptures and uncertainties in professional trajectories. The gendered perspective sheds light on the indissociability of spheres of activity (productive and reproductive). Similarly, the crumbling of the wage society blurs many of our categories of thought and analysis of work, the relationship to work and the construction of health. Finally, to shed light on the prospects for action in the work clinic, experiments in intervention outside the sphere of employment are presented.
