Abstract:
In the French armed forces, the treatment of post-traumatic stress disorder is an integral part of military psychiatry, with an expertise that is applied both in the field, close to the wounded, and in France. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing is a psychotherapy recognized as a first-line treatment for these disorders. Its application to military personnel is proving to be a valuable therapeutic tool, but it can sometimes run up against obstacles to the integration of traumatic memories. These difficulties may be due to the patient's own resistance, to his or her past life history, or to the stakes of recognition and reparation that keep him or her in the position of psychically wounded.
