Summary

This study wants to demonstrate the effectiveness of combining a positive memory with "recommended" therapy based on EMDR in reducing the disturbance that patients with complex psychotrauma may experience. The positive memory will be called "benevolent memory" (SB) or "less worse memory" (SMP).

Detailed description

This is an interventional study, prospective, exploratory, comparative, randomized, controlled versus reference treatment protocol, open. Patients will be seen 16 times for the purposes of the study. They will be hospitalized during therapy. Discharge from hospitalization occurs during follow-up depending on the patient's condition. They will be evaluated over a period of 4 to 6 weeks between the start (Day 0 = Week 1) and the end of treatment (visit week 12). These visits will coincide with treatment sessions with the EMDR ± SB / SMP protocol, as part of the support of their complex psychotrauma. At the end of treatment, the patient will be evaluated during follow-up visits at Month 1, Month 3 and Month 6.

Conditions
