简要总结
Art therapy support combined with standard care for people with an alcohol use disorder coming to a day hospital for withdrawal could be beneficial compared to standard care alone because it would improve the alexithymia of these patients, helping them to better identify their feelings and / or emotions, and improve their self-confidence, their self-esteem self and their oral communication.
详细描述
Alexithymia is an inability to identify and describe one's emotions associated with outward thinking. Frequently found in people with an alcohol use disorder, a true mental handicap, alexithymia has been clearly identified as a relapse factor in addictive problems related to alcohol. The ALEXART study intends to study the evolution of alexithymia in people with an alcohol use disorder hosted in an Addictology Day Hospital unit through the use of an approach non-drug that is art therapy. Our hypothesis is that art therapy can help patients with alcohol use disorders to develop a better understanding of their own behaviors, to name their emotions and feelings, and to improve their communication with others and thereby be able to choose to change their behavior.
