Through an interactive workshop called "the feelings through the senses", we are going to describe three successive stages allowing to tame the psychic experiences via the sensory channels, the hearing then the sight, isolated artificially at first then gathered secondly. A work of verbalization in small groups is realized at the end of every session.

Mental health professionals may feel helpless against these sexual difficulties, because of being poorly trained to treat them and lacking the means to do it.

Although it’s impossible to assign a sex therapist to each mental health service, it could be very useful to use bibliotherapeutic documentation to guide people with sexual difficulties in finding solutions. This mode of treatment which consists in putting information and therapeutic guidelines on writing is called « bibliotherapy ». Some bibliotherapies have already been developed and tested in the field of sexual disorders. Others, experimental, are nowadays under clinical evaluation, notably by three of the authors of the present paper. Bibliotherapy could be a helpful adjunct in improving the sexual health of dayhospital patients. [less ▲]
