People have a deep intuition about what has been called the “nature–nurture question.” Some aspects of our behavior feel as though they originate in our genetic makeup, while others feel like the result of our upbringing or our own hard work. The scientific field of behavior genetics attempts to study these differences empirically, either by examining similarities among family members with different degrees of genetic relatedness, or, more recently, by studying differences in the DNA of people with different behavioral traits. The scientific methods that have been developed are ingenious, but often inconclusive. Many of the difficulties encountered in the empirical science of behavior genetics turn out to be conceptual, and our intuitions about nature and nurture get more complicated the harder we think about them. In the end, it is an oversimplification to ask how “genetic” some particular behavior is. Genes and environments always combine to produce behavior, and the real science is in the discovery of how they combine for a given behavior.

There is a vast need for mental health support in populations affected by adversity globally. However, current evidence-based psychological interventions require significant resources and are highly challenging to bring to scale. This presentation will focus on an effort to address needs for mental health support through a WHO-developed guided self-help intervention. The presentation will discuss the adaptation and evaluation of the intervention with South Sudanese refugees in Uganda. Subsequently, the speaker will reflect on how this type of intervention may lend itself for integration in programming outside of the health sector to address the social determinants of mental health.

Cet ouvrage collectif rassemble une série de communications qui ont été présentées au symposium du Festival international de psychologie africaine organisé par l’Association Sikotwomatis ak Afrikanite (SITWOMAFRIKA), en partenariat avec l’Institut d’études et de recherches africaines d’Haïti (IERAH/ISERSS) de l’Université d’État d’Haïti, à Port-au-Prince en mai 2016, sous l’égide de Judite Blanc et Sterlin Ulysse. Il s’agissait, à travers ce premier événement festif et pluridisciplinaire du genre à Port-au-Prince, de nourrir les discussions sur les séquelles écologiques, psychologiques, sociales, culturelles et épistémiques de l’histoire de l’esclavage et de la colonisation dans le développement des sujets haïtiens, africains et afro-caribéens. Ce choix thématique s’étaye sur deux familles de modèles théoriques en psychologie : la première éclaire les conséquences de la violence sur le développement et l’équilibre des individus, tandis que la seconde propose de faire la lumière sur l’interaction entre la biologie et l’environnement (physique et social).
