Rehabilitation Center
for Disabled Workers
LAENNEC - Irigny, France
Principal investigator: Dr. Christian Simonin, Psychiatrist, Psychotherapist
Participants: 70 students
Dr Simonin organized sessions with participants in a rehabilitation vocational program who present with issues of processing stress, lack of self confidence, acceptance of handicap, and emotional fragility. Dr. Simonin and the teaching director, Mr. Pierre Salvetti, confirmed that these individuals showed greater willingness and better communication with others following exposure to the Catharsis Technique. It was documented that there was enhanced efficiency in completing the necessary steps for re-matriculation after the musical sessions, confirming an association with the Catharsis Technique and scholastic re-training. Participants were better able to handle their stress, were more relaxed, and were less fearful of final evaluations.
