“…Family is defined in diverse ways both within and outside of the disability field (Doherty, Boss, LaRossa, Schumm, & Steinmetz, 1993;Popenoe, 1988). We define family as two or more people who carry out the responsibilities that families typically perform and who regard themselves as a family regardless of having a blood or marriage relationship.…”

We discuss a participatory action research (PAR) DESCRIPTORS: participatory action research, participatory research, action research, family, disability Participatory action research (PAR) is one means of addressing the gap between researchers and the intended beneficiaries of research (McTaggart, 1991;Whyte, 1991). Participatory action research refers to a process whereby the researchers and stakeholders (those who potentially benefit from research results) collaborate in the design and conduct of all phases (e.g., specification of questions, design, data collection, data analysis, dissemination, utilization) of the research process. PAR's ultimate goal is taking action to solve the problem that is at the basis of the research (Graves, 1991;McTaggart, 1991;Whitney-Thomas, 1997). PAR is a collaborative approach to conducting research-not a discrete research methodology. _______________________________________________Address all correspondence and requests for reprints to Ann P. Turnbull, Beach Center on Families and Disability, University of Kansas, 3111 Haworth Hall, Lawrence, KS 66045The National Institute on Disability and Rehabilitation Research (NIDRR) has taken a leadership role within the disability field by encouraging grantees to incorporate a PAR approach (Fenton, Batavia, & Roody, 1993;Graves, 1991). Our conceptualization of PAR has been strongly influenced by NIDRR's definition.Throughout the literature, many terms are used interchangeably with sometimes similar and other times conflicting definitions. These terms include participatory research, action research, participatory action research, constituency-oriented re-search and dissemination, emancipatory research, empowerment research, and discovery research. These terms all have a common focus on greater participation and influence of stakeholders in research than has traditionally characterized the research process. The approaches may differ, however, with respect to considerations such as how localized the research is to a specific context.In this paper, we address a PAR approach consistent with NIDRR's conceptualization of researchers and stakeholders collaborating through-out the entire research process. Our focus is on families as stakeholders of research. We focus on research that is aimed at studying family life and issues important for family support. We refer to this research as family research. We (a) discuss the advantages and challenges of PAR in family research, (b) propose a range of PAR levels, and (c) raise three issues warranting creative problem solving in enhancing PAR implementation related to family research.

“…Les auteurs, qui empruntent leurs concepts au champ interdisciplinaire des études de la famille (Doherty, Boss, LaRossa, Schumm, & Steinmetz, 1993), mobilisent notamment la théorie de la « perte ambiguë » développée par Pauline Boss (Betz & Thorngren, 2006 ;Boss, 1999Boss, , 2007Boss, , 2010. Cette théorie, qui associe une conception systé-mique de la famille (Whitchurch & Constantine, 1993) Boss (1999,2007) identifie deux types de perte ambiguë : les situations où une personne est physiquement absente mais psychologiquement présente (p.ex.…”

Le deuil est trop souvent considéré comme la seule réponse d’un individu au décès d’une personne proche. Il est appréhendé comme un processus plus ou moins long qui se laisse décrire par une série d’étapes, de phases ou de passages susceptibles de rendre la transition du deuil effective. Cet article invite à sortir de cette lecture égocentrée du deuil. Il s’intéresse, d’une part, à la façon dont le deuil est vécu au travail lorsqu’une personne reprend son activité professionnelle après le décès d’un proche et à la façon dont les travailleurs sociaux peuvent ou non se considérer en deuil face à la mort d’individus qu’ils accompagnent d’autre part. Cet article montre que le deuil est avant tout façonné par une succession de moments et de circonstances d’intensité émotionnelle et affective, variable selon les contextes sociaux et les interactions entre individus plus ou moins concernés par le décès de quelqu’un.Grief is too often considered as the sole response of an individual to the loss of a loved one. It is perceived as a more or less prolonged process that can be described through a series of stages or phases enabling the passage of grief. This article puts into question this egocentric conception of grief. On the one hand, it is based on how grief is experienced at the workplace when a person goes back to work after the loss of a loved one. On the other hand it explores how social workers consider themselves as being in grief, or not, after the death of individuals whom they support. This article shows that grief is shaped above all by a succession of moments and circumstances of emotional and affective intensity that varies according to social contexts and interactions between individuals more or less concerned with somebody’s death
