The course has five main objectives :
- to understand the conceptual and paradigmatic frameworks for different forms of psychosocial interventions within an organization;
- to acquire the methodological basis for different kinds of intervention;
- to form an individual view on crisis phenomena and change factors;
- to exchange personal experiences ;
- to adopt a critical stance towards intervention and its effects.
Main themes
Since this course deals with the general issues of well-being at work, it only covers the kinds of interventions which directly relate to this : participatory diagnosis interventions, prevention interventions and curative interventions in the short and medium term. It does not therefore deal with psychosocial interventions for strategic change within a company.
The course includes the following topics :
- Concepts of advice, consultancy, supervision and intervention;
- Types of intervention depending on the psycho-organizational situation (prevention, diagnosis, management of critical situations, medium term solutions);
- Types of intervention depending on the target psychosocial level (individual, interpersonal, group, organizational);
- Some major intervention methodologies (interviews, mediation and conciliation, team development, organizational development);
- Roles and positions of the intervener;
- Risks and limits of psychosocial intervention.
