Estime et respect de soi, justice, reconnaissance. De quelques défis actuels en éthique

L'éthique est aujourd'hui en pleine mutation (l'éthique théologique en subissant le contre-coup). Effervescence réjouissante ou valse des éthiques, progrès de la conscience morale ou fuite en avant dans ses sub-stitutions juridiques -le biodroit remplaçant la bioéthique?- relativisme moral ou quête d'une éthique commune, morale planétaire ou éthique des vertus, comment s'y retrouver dans ce carrousel tournoyant, sans perdre la tête, mais sans se laisser non plus séduire par des simplifications abusives? Mon propos sera de suggérer une ligne de crête nous permettant d'avancer au-dessus des précipices ou des abîmes et de baliser une marche plus assurée malgré les équilibres instables et fragiles qui sont de plus en plus les nôtres.

Dealing with clients' diversity in test situations: Client categorisations in psychologists' accounts of their practices

Reducing a test administration to standardised procedures reflects the test designers' standpoint. However, from the practitioners' standpoint, each client is unique. How do psychologists deal with both standardised test administration and clients' diversity? To answer this question, we interviewed 17 psychologists working in three public services for children and adolescents about their assessment practices. We analysed the numerous "client categorisations" they produced in their accounts. We found that they had shared perceptions about their clients' diversity, and reported various non-standard practices that complemented standardised test administration, but also differed from them or were even forbidden. They seem to experience a dilemma between: (a) prescribed and situated practices; (b) scientific and situated reliability; (c) commutative and distributive justice. For practitioners, dealing with clients' diversity this is a practical problem, halfway between a problem-solving task and a moral dilemma.
