Stabilisation du patient et EMDRPatient Stabilization and EMDR
Description
La stabilisation est à la base un concept médical que tous les médecins connaissent, indépendamment de leur spécialité. Ce principe implique qu’un patient doit présenter les conditions suffisantes pour pouvoir subir un traitement, une intervention chirurgicale ou un examen intrusif. Par exemple certains patients ne se verront pas proposer une intervention chirurgicale lourde si leur condition somatique n’est pas assez bonne et stable. Les médecins feront alors en sorte que le patient améliore et stabilise sa condition avant d’envisager l’opération. Avant une intervention chirurgicale l’anesthésiste s’assure que le malade a les conditions qui lui permettront de supporter l’anesthésie et l’intervention chirurgicale. Cela permet aussi de prévoir les risques possibles et les mesures à prévoir si un de ces risques devait se présenter. Par ailleurs, Primum non nocere : d’abord ne pas nuire. Tel est le principe qui doit guider tout médecin lorsqu’il prend en charge un patient. Il devrait en être de même pour les psychothérapeutes.
Stabilization is basically a medical concept that all doctors know, regardless of their specialty. This principle implies that a patient must present sufficient conditions to be able to undergo treatment, surgery or an intrusive examination. For example, some patients will not be offered major surgical intervention if their somatic condition is not good and stable enough. The doctors will then ensure that the patient improves and stabilizes his condition before considering the operation. Before a surgical procedure, the anesthesiologist ensures that the patient has the conditions that will allow him to withstand the anesthesia and the surgical procedure. This also makes it possible to predict possible risks and the measures to be taken if one of these risks were to arise. Furthermore, Primum non nocere: first do no harm. This is the principle that must guide every doctor when caring for a patient. The same should be true for psychotherapists.
