C’est la question que pose l’étude Paris-Mémoire vive. L’un de ses promoteurs, le canadien Alain Brunet, est de passage à Paris. Professeur de psychiatrie à l’université ���ϲ����� de Montréal, il présente des résultats assez stupéfiants. À ce jour, plus de 340 patients adultes participent à l’étude, essentiellement des victimes des attentats de Paris le 13 novembre 2015 et de Nice le 14 juillet 2016. </p> Fri, 23 Nov 2018 16:56:58 +0000 webfull 143577 at /channels /channels/channels/news/stress-heightens-fear-threats-past-269279 <p>Recognizing threats is an essential function of the human mind — think “fight or flight” — one that is aided by past negative experiences.

Brunet’s work at the Douglas appeared to demonstrate traumatic memories could be healed and, furthermore, memories linked to addiction cravings could be reduced. His work was covered in The Atlantic and Wired magazines."Heartbreak, or relational trauma, is almost universal, and it’s one of the top reasons people seek help. — Alain Brunet"</p> Mon, 18 Jul 2016 14:04:40 +0000 webfull 119936 at /channels /channels/news/experts-terrorist-attacks-brussels-march-22-2016-259827 <p>"Explosions rocked the main airport and a subway in Brussels on Tuesday, killing at least 26 people." (<a href="http://www.nytimes.com/2016/03/23/world/europe/brussels-airport-explosions.html?hp&action=click&pgtype=Homepage&clickSource=story-heading&module=span-ab-top-region&region=top-news&WT.nav=top-news">The New York Times</a>)</p> Tue, 22 Mar 2016 13:50:31 +0000 webfull 117536 at /channels /channels/news/un-montrealais-au-secours-des-parisiens-260639 <p>Un expert québécois soignera les plaies des centaines de victimes des attentats de Paris aux prises avec un syndrome de stress post-traumatique.
