Brief Summary

This project is interested in the flow of consciousness and its modalizations during psychological trauma (post-traumatic stress disorder) and its resolution. It is based on the premise that in PTSD, consciousness becomes more rigid, less fluid, due to the memory always imposing itself on the consciousness. The resolution of the trauma and the subsequent reduction of anxiety might improve the fluidity of consciousness and thus lead to an overall improvement in the psychological state of PTSD patients. In cases of PTSD, music has been shown to reduce anxiety from the very first session and has a very positive effect on all PTSD symptoms. In this project the following elements will be evaluated : on one hand, the changes in consciousness and its fluidity and, on the other hand, the evolution of anxiety following the listening of a new kind of work, videomusic (which associates a video scenario with music) exemplifying (metaphorizing) the trauma and its resolution.

Conditions

Keywords

Psychic trauma; Phenomenology; Consciousness; Anxiety; Music; Videomusic

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

• Consciousness fluidity using a questionnaire dedicated to this measure

  Consciousness fluidity will be assessed before and after videomusic listening from the scores obtained at a questionnaire Evaluating Qualitatively the Fluidity of Consciousness (EQFC). Minimum and maximum values are 1 for "Never" and 6 for "Always". For some items, 1 indicates a better outcome and for some it is the contrary.

  4 weeks

Secondary Outcomes (4)

• Qualitative analysis of experiential phenomenological interview
