Professionalization and support for professionals in the peer system

Pré-requis : Aucun

background

The program for individualized support and social reaffiliation (PAIRS) is intended for people who are radicalized or in the process of radicalization. The objective is to offer reinforced, global and multidisciplinary individual support, while consolidating the work on disengagement. This program requires numerous specialized and rare skills and the use of common and harmonized tools and methods to ensure good efficiency in the face of problems that are both complex and evolving. Research on these topics is English-speaking and not very accessible. We want to make these resources available while allowing PAIRS professionals to consolidate and harmonize their practices, also in a prospective manner.

General goals

• The (psycho) criminological intervention...
  Using assessment tools and proven scientific resources, issues related to the acts committed (criminogenic) and/or suffered (victimogenic), psychological suffering, risk and protection factors, a specialized support program will be proposed (aimed directly at the problems identified), in connection with internationally validated action strategies;

• Structured psychological involvement...
  Concerning the suffering psychological factors diagnosed, not directly criminogenic or victimogenic, but contributing strongly to the person's difficulties. Systemic and cognitive, behavioral and emotional interventions, in accordance with the recommendations of the Haute Autorité de Santé and scientific results;

• The structured involvement of a social worker...
  Using validated scientific tools on the assisted population and in an interpartnership and coherent infrastructure approach, the PAIRS system operator ensures the link between the partners and the system, but also internally between criminological/victimological and psychological work. The mission of the PAIRS counselor is to provide support and regular support, to support the person and parents in the therapeutic approach, to provide information and to refer to external partners, and to draw up a follow-up report.

• The updating of research data in the psychopathology of terrorism and extremism.
  This understanding is necessary in order to try to better protect ourselves from these psychological factors at work in the psyche of an extremist in general and in that of a jihadist in particular: in particular through earlier detection and more appropriate preventive treatments. Not without first having transcribed in what framework and what transdisciplinary hypotheses this psychopathology of extremism and jihadism would fit into, as the subject is complex and refers at the same time to the humility and the caution of the researcher. However, nothing should be overlooked in the long-term fight against the enemies, pathological or not, of our humanist and democratic values.

Educational goals:

I- Operationalization of the network 1 day

1. Summary of feedback from PAIRS network partners on the needs, problems encountered, etc.;
2. Harmonize/train first response/orientation professionals: What common interview methodologies?
3. Topics supporting this common culture: trauma, vulnerabilities and the assessment of danger. Introduction to approaches the Risk-Needs-Receptivity model (Andrews & Bonta) and the Healthy Lives Model (Ward, 2002) by proposing an additional restorative approach in accordance with these models (Ward & Langlands, 2009; Coco & Corneille,2009).
4. Create a specific and common intervention protocol (partnership, evaluation and support) on the issues in question;

II - Direct interventions with identified persons (4 days)

• 1. Analyze control issues and risk/protection factors in a structured manner among persons identified in need: 6PO and ANI tools within the framework of the P.R.A.T.I.C. protocol (Relational Protocol for Assistance in Criminological Intervention Work) are supports for the legal professional in a context that is not directly therapeutic, in his work of support with a subject for whom criminal problems are present. It is not necessarily a question of targeting so-called anti-social problems. (1 day)

• 2. Implementation of new types of care for people facing situations of influence such as radicalization, in particular for the problems encountered by the person in a situation of social and individual vulnerability (assessment and reassessment of the problems and the situation, psychological care, social support): the GLM tool (Good Life Model) and emotional openness. And in the end, the use of the MC-FLY tool is fully in line with the theories of “resistance” of Farrington (1986), McNeill et al. (2012) and Maruna and Lebel (2003), i.e. the stopping of acts as a process (renunciation) that takes place over time, but not linear, at the end of which the person stops committing offenses. The “Pathway (doing)” tool for social and professional reintegration.

• 3. Update of research in the psychopathology of terrorism and extremism: obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) would be associated with other factors and linked to obsessive passion, a preacher of violent radical tendencies. In addition to the fact that this approach already opens a significant window of perception and detection, other researchers have reviewed their clinical approach strategies. This consists in no longer making classical segmental diagnoses but in adopting a dimensional approach instead. This transversal approach allows a more complex and detailed reading of psychological pathologies which are thus more often expressed in infra or sub-clinical signs —depression, apathy, narcissistic tendencies, introversion, anti-social personalities etc. The central point could be found in particular in what is called the dark triad: narcissism, Machiavellianism, psychopathy, sadism. Our approach here will be to present these new keys to psychopathological readings in a synthetic and proactive way for the continuous professionalization of the coaches of the PAIRS system (1 day).

• 4. Evaluation and adaptation of the protocol to changes in the context (1 day) Establishing retroactive reviews of action: How to establish reports that meet information and evaluation requirements as well as ethical requirements.
