This article addresses the question of the perceived efficiency of a professional practice, the systemic intervention of the Palo Alto School, to resolve the specific problems of occupational health.
Summary
After analyzing the operational nature of the concept of solution attempts, central to the approach, we explore the situations appropriate to the use of the approach, its implementation methods and the perception of its efficiency. To do this, we analyze data collected by mobilizing a network of practices (SYPRENE) implementing the Palo Alto School approach and focusing on occupational health issues. Our results show that a high proportion of practitioners, on the one hand, and help seekers, on the other hand, consider, after systemic intervention, that the occupational health problem is resolved. We then discuss the scope of this observation of perceived efficiency as well as the contributions and limits of the approach for occupational health while putting our results into perspective for practitioners and researchers.
Key words
Systemic intervention, Palo Alto School, perceived efficiency, occupational health.
Abstract:
This article addresses the question of the perceived effectiveness of the systemic intervention of the Mental Research Institute to solve specific occupational health problems. After emphasizing the operational nature of the central concept of attempted solutions, we explore the situations appropriate to the use of the approach, its methods of implementation and the perception of its effectiveness. We analyze data collected by a network of practices (SYPRENE) implementing the Palo Alto School approach and dealing with occupational health issues. Our results show that a high proportion of practitioners, on the one hand, and of help seekers, on the other hand, consider that the occupational health problem is solved after the systemic intervention. We then discuss the scope of this finding of perceived effectiveness as well as the contributions and limits of the approach to occupational health while putting our results into perspective for practitioners and researchers.
Keywords
