A Thesis in Clinical Psychology and Psychopathology

Clinical psychologist Alexandre Sinanian's various experiences led him to specialize in the question of psychological trauma and to defend a thesis on the connections between trauma and addiction in 2016.

The clinical psychologist emphasizes the importance of the connections that exist between traumas that do not systematically manifest as psychological symptoms but also as physical symptoms.

Addictions thus engage the body and sensations to excess in an attempt to regulate traumatic affects, but in a relatively similar way, it is more broadly the ailments of the body that he investigates, and this along a continuum between the normal and the pathological.

For Dr. Alexandre Sinanian, it is indeed important to consider what sometimes affects the mind but also the body and its various organs, as psychosomatic approaches account for. In this sense, the voice, the respiratory system, and muscle tone can also sometimes be affected by ailments that belong to the past, invisible but still active.

They can express certain experienced symptoms that cannot be seen or thought about, and at the same time paradoxically seek to "heal" traumas awaiting elaboration.

Alexandre Sinanian and CALYP

Participating in the creation of a multidisciplinary center that considers the individual as a whole in connection with their practice of lyric arts and the arts in general is a great enrichment and a great opportunity. The psychotherapeutic perspective that it encompasses is indeed essential to also support people who, in order to express their art, call upon their techniques but above all upon what they are: their feelings, their personality, their history, their relationships, etc.
