Après avoir circonscrit le concept de méditation, l’objectif de cet article sera dans le cadre d’une revue de question de présenter 22 publiés depuis 1982 jusqu’à 2008 mettant en lumière différentes techniques de méditation qui ont montré des effets pertinents sur la santé physique et psychique. Ces articles retenus sur la base de différents critères (études contrôlées, randomisées, indexation sur les bases de données Medline, PsycINFO et Psyarticles) ont été soumis à une analyse critique. Il apparaît ainsi qu’une approche comme la méditation de pleine conscience (mindfulness) utilisée dans la gestion du stress, la régulation de l’anxiété et dans d’autres formes de pathologies est l’une des techniques qui est la plus fréquemment utilisée en termes d’améliorations de la santé physique et psychique. Sa mise en œuvre conduit à d’évidentes améliorations chez les sujets et en fait une approche opérationnelle dont les praticiens pourraient s’inspirer dans le cadre de leurs pratiques professionnelles. Des études complémentaires sur l’efficacité de cette technique en fonction des pathologies s’avèrent dorénavant indispensables.Meditation as a new therapeutic approach is the subject of growing interest in the field of psychotherapy. After having defined the concept of meditation, this article will be aimed at setting out 22 items that have been edited from 1982 until 2008, which highlight different techniques of meditation with an effect on physical and psychological health. These articles, selected on the basis of different criteria (controlled and randomized studies, indexation on the Medline, PsycINFO and Psyarticles databases), have undergone critical analysis. Some approaches, such as the mindfulness meditation used for stress reduction (Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction, MBSR), anxiety regulation and other kinds of pathologies, are some of the most frequently used techniques that highlight physical and mental health improvement. Its implementation leads to obvious improvements in the subjects, and the fact it can be implemented quite easily makes it an operational approach the clinicians could put to good use in the field of their professional practice. Additional studies must be carried out in order to show efficacy.

Developed from the MBCT protocol, designed to prevent depressive relapse, its specificity lies in the adaptation of its teaching materials resting on the mindfulness meditation-cognition-psycho-education triptych. The transposition of the princeps model has been the subject of a controlled and randomized experimental trial performed on a non-clinical population working in an industrial environment to assess the effect of the aforesaid program on stress and associated symptoms. The outcomes suggest preliminary contributions as for the benefits generated on the psychic health of a group of workers.

We compared victims who received an EMDR emergency protocol (URG-EMDR; n = 19) that we developed with those who received a method of intervention called eclectic therapy (n = 15). The results show that URG-EMDR therapy, provided within 48 hours, resulted in a greater decrease in perceived stress and a lower PCL-S score than eclectic therapy did. The scores were lower in both groups after 24 hours, and after 3 months, the drop was significantly greater among the victims treated with the URG-EMDR protocol; none of the EMDR-treated patients exhibited symptoms of posttraumatic stress.
