The Paris Terrorist Attacks

After the Paris attacks in 2015, Alain Brunet offered his assistance to the Parisian Hospital Network AP-HP so that a large number of patients suffering from PTSD could benefit from his therapy in various local psychiatry departments. In May 2016, a unique protocol called ("Paris Mémoire Vive") was launched in France. It allowed for the treatment of 400 patients. Twenty hospitals from AP-HP participated in this unprecedented therapeutic trial, training 200 therapists.

A first-line therapeutic protocol

Thanks to this unprecedented initiative and the success of this mission, Professor Alain Brunet has demonstrated that Reconsolidation Therapy™ could become a first-line treatment protocol in the aftermath of large-scale humanitarian crises involving trauma. A similar mission was deployed in Lebanon following the explosion at the port of Beirut in August 2020, to train around a hundred mental health professionals and assist Lebanese individuals traumatized by this tragedy.
