Narrativity and expressive writing: an institutional study in the field of social and medical-social action

1. Area of knowledge prioritized and perspective through which I approach it

My research falls within the cognitive (expressive writing) and analytical (narrativity) approaches.

2. Main approach guiding my work

The approaches I examine are based on psychoanalysis and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). The epistemological foundations will be rooted in theories of narrativity and expressive writing.

In addition, a philosophical approach will complement this reflection, as will the necessary insights from linguistics and didactics. The latter is made all the more possible thanks to the discursive study of the subject. The "biographical narrative constitutes a professional discourse specifically focused on the relationship to oneself and to interpersonal skills. Helping professionals work in fields where the relationship with oneself (and with others) (Torterat, 2011) is expressed.

3. My areas of investigation

The subject I am discussing is observed through the practice of professionals in the social and medical-social sector working in institutions, whether public or private (non-profit organizations): senior managers, directors, department heads, multidisciplinary teams (social workers, paramedics, psychologists, administrative staff, etc.).
