Par Arnhild Lauveng, Alex Fouillet. 2014
Les ombres s'épaississent, le trottoir est devenu trop haut, le Capitaine hurle de ne plus manger, de ne plus dormir…
et de s'infliger des coups... Il faudrait fuir, mais le couloir derrière la porte est jonché de crocodiles. Aujourd'hui guérie de cette schizophrénie réputée inguérissable, Arnhild Lauveng est devenue psychologue, comme elle en rêvait depuis toujours. Avec la plus grande sobriété, elle raconte les premiers signes de la maladie, la terreur, les parents et les amis qui s'affolent, l'hospitalisation et la lente rémission. Devenu un classique international, ce témoignage est à la fois sidérant et infiniment précieux. Il porte un formidable message d'espoir, et, comme le dit Christophe André, traverser la nuit de la maladie aux côtés d'une personne qui s'en est sortie est exceptionnel. 2014.

qui ne comprennent rien, de la société qui ne fait rien. Assez. Et puis mille fois, j'ai espéré, mille fois, j'ai ri et pleuré avec toi, mille fois, je t'ai serré dans mes bras. Alors j'ai écrit ce livre pour toi, mon petit bonhomme si différent, pour moi, et pour ton frère, afin qu'il n'oublie pas tous ces fous rires qui émaillent notre drôle de vie aussi. J'ai écrit ce livre pour toutes ces familles dont personne ne voit le désarroi, pour témoigner de notre quotidien durant ces dix ans, déjà.

Tu me prouves aujourd'hui le contraire.

passer le restant de vos jours sur une chaise ? En acceptant de se passer de ses jambes pour grandir autrement.

À l'hôpital universitaire de Genève, où il exerce comme psychiatre de liaison, il fait figure d'agent double. À la fois soigné et soignant, il est au sein de la structure hospitalière le conciliateur entre les blessés de la vie et ceux qui les soignent. Dans l'itinéraire sans concession qu'il retrace, l'épreuve au quotidien est peut-être plus poignante encore que le récit de son accident - cette tragédie de son adolescence qu'il regarde comme une chance d'avoir pu se réaliser à la fois comme homme et comme passeur. 2013.Daddy bent-legs: the 40-year-old musing of a physically disabled man, husband, and father

Motion tour, playing in fundraising golf tournaments, and tipping back some cold ones with Wayne Gretzky. His personal life hasn't lacked excitement either, including parasailing, winning a stand-up (or in his case, sit-down) comedy contest, and helping his grandson take his first steps. Tait was born with cerebral palsy, unable to sit up, speak or move his arms and legs. But thanks to a revolutionary form of physical therapy that required a 24/7 commitment from his parents and a team of 116 volunteers, he learned to get around in a wheelchair, move his hands and talk. Tait speaks with eloquence about the importance of giving disabled people the chance to pursue their ambitions, and the value of all the support he's received in achieving his own dreams. 2015.Everyday law: a survival guide for Canadians
