English term

have lost favor in the last quarter of the 20th century

English to French Medical Medical: Pharmaceuticals biology
Although often intuitively appealing, psychoanalytic theories of OCD **have lost favor in the last quarter of the 20th century**. Psychoanalysis offers an elaborate metaphor for the mind, but it is not grounded in evidence based on studies of the brain. Psychoanalytic concepts may help explain the content of the patient's obsessions, but they do little to improve understanding of the underlying processes and have not led to reliably effective treatments.

The psychoanalytic focus on the symbolic meaning of obsessions and compulsions has given way to an emphasis on the form of the symptoms: recurrent, distressing and senseless forced thoughts and actions. The content of symptoms may reveal more about what is most important to or feared by an individual (e.g., moral rectitude, children in harm?s way) than why that particular individual developed OCD. Alternatively, the content (e.g., grooming and hoarding) may be related to the activation of fixed action patterns (i.e., innate complex behavioral subroutines) mediated by the brain areas involved in OCD.
Votes to reclassify question as PRO/non-PRO:

Non-PRO (1): Francis Marche

When entering new questions, KudoZ askers are given an opportunity* to classify the difficulty of their questions as 'easy' or 'pro'. If you feel a question marked 'easy' should actually be marked 'pro', and if you have earned more than 20 KudoZ points, you can click the "Vote PRO" button to recommend that change.

How to tell the difference between "easy" and "pro" questions:

An easy question is one that any bilingual person would be able to answer correctly. (Or in the case of monolingual questions, an easy question is one that any native speaker of the language would be able to answer correctly.)

A pro question is anything else... in other words, any question that requires knowledge or skills that are specialized (even slightly).

Another way to think of the difficulty levels is this: an easy question is one that deals with everyday conversation. A pro question is anything else.

When deciding between easy and pro, err on the side of pro. Most questions will be pro.

* Note: non-member askers are not given the option of entering 'pro' questions; the only way for their questions to be classified as 'pro' is for a ProZ.com member or members to re-classify it.

These are not medical but general language questions - you might get a wider response with a different category :-)

Ceci dit, on dirait que ce texte date de la fin du 20ème siècle. Si on le disait aujourd'hui, on dirait plutôt "étaient en perte de vitesse". Je n'ai pas le texte devant les yeux mais il faudra faire attention à cet élément-là
