REPIT Psychose

February 2025:

• The 2025-2026 English version of PPv2.0 has arrived! Contact me to find out how to get a paper copy of the PPv2.0 calendar or access the online version e-PPv2.0
• New features:
  • Introduction and integration of the “therapeutic dice” created to facilitate the application of the KEY to Freedom (in French: “CLÉ de la Liberté”). https://dice.deprescription.org/
  • Complete revision of content: simplification and clarification of content
  • Addition of a page comparing and analogizing the treatment of a fracture with the treatment of mental disorders.
  • The notion of spirituality as a psychotherapeutic element is simplified and made even more accessible. This is the fruit of numerous discussions with Mr. Simon Longpré of the SQS as part of the creation of a training course on spirituality in mental health.
  • The English translation of the PPv2.0 is finally available in 2025. The last translation dated from 2021. The translation was difficult but satisfactory as many concepts and acronyms were originally created in the language of Molière
    • La CLÉ de la liberté in French is KEY of Freedom
      • K — Know your limits. Know that balance sets you free. Set & respect limits for yourself & others; practice letting go & acceptance
      • E — Engage & make an effort every day to expose yourself to new experiences that you would normally avoid; embrace the
      • Y — YES MAN! philosophy to flip your usual patterns & practice doing the opposite of your unhealthy habits to regain your balance and therefore your freedom
    •  CP2e (Confiance, Patience, engagement et espoir) (www.cp2e.org) in French is translated as the•P (https://en.cp2e.org),in reference to the meaning of life, “the Point of Life”, but also the title of a well-known song “The Prayer” performed by Céline Dion and Andrea Bocelli in 1999. “the•P” is thus the English equivalent of CP2e:
      • t – trust (Confiance)
      • h – hope (espoir) 
      • e – engagement (engagement)
      • P – Patience (Patience)

The concept thus refers to a prayer that one can make when feeling hopeless after numerous failed attempts to improve one’s situation; it can also refer to the meaning of life which is to be engaged, to keep building, and to move forward without knowing exactly where or why. Meaning emerges through action and commitment. The meaning of life is often said to lie not in the destination, but in the journey.

• • • AiLES (Autodétermination, identité, Lien social, Espoir, Sens) is our French translation of the original CHIME acronym (Connectedness, Hope, Identity, Meaning, Empowerment) representing the conceptual framework of recovery.
    • Acrostic R-E-C-O-V-E-R-Y (RÉTABLISSEMENT in French): integrative model of PPv2.0 concepts to remind patients and their caregivers of common ingredients and strategies for recovery. *Yet to be translated in English”
    • Recovery work documents: pharmacological and non-pharmacological treatment plans; signs and symptoms and observation sheets. (*to be translated*)
