by Molinier, Pascale; Flottes, Anne (2012)

Abstract

This article is devoted to the history of clinical approaches to work in France since the 1950s. It briefly deals with the very first researches in work psychopathology, then with a few key concepts of work psychodynamics (“psychodynamique du travail”) and of the clinic of activity (“clinique de l’activité”). It finally reviews the different forms of work-related psychopathologies in the recent scientific literature (from 2000 onwards).
