Abstract

Les adultes en crise psychiatrique au Nunavik sont d'abord évalués et stabilisés localement puis transférés à Montréal lorsque l'hospitalisation est nécessaire. En plus de leurs problèmes en santé mentale, ces patients peuvent vivre un choc culturel. Cette étude de cas explore comment l'art-thérapie peut aider des adultes inuits durant leur hospitalisation à Montréal, en examinant leur processus selon l'un des principes culturels inuits, l'apprentissage expérientiel. La définition de ce principe dans le contexte de l'art-thérapie et de la culture est suivie d'un relevé des sources d'apprentissage expérientiel dans la littérature sur la psychothérapie et l'art-thérapie auprès d'Inuits et d'Autochtones, puis de psychotiques. Le codage du processus thérapeutique a été utilisé dans deux vignettes d'adultes Inuits hospitalisés pour épisode psychotique dans un contexte d'abus de drogue et d'alcool. Ils ont reçu trois et cinq séances individuelles d'art-thérapie. L'analyse du contenu de l'apprentissage a permis de dégager des pistes à explorer pour les patients ainsi que des processus en jeu, comme l'agir dans l'art et le développement d'une narration symbolique. L'étude a permis d'identifier des conditions influençant l'apprentissage expérientiel, telles que la ritualisation de l'espace thérapeutique, la variation sensorielle des matériaux, l'écologie de l'atelier et une approche non directive. Les résultats de la recherche ne sont pas généralisables étant donné le petit nombre de cas, mais ils fournissent des pistes d'intervention en art-thérapie dans un contexte de diversité culturelle et de thérapie brève en milieu hospitalier.

Adults in psychiatric crisis are first evaluated and stabilized locally, then transferred to Montreal when hospitalization is necessary. In addition to their mental health problems, these patients may live a cultural shock. This case study explores how art therapy may help Inuit adults during their hospitalization in Montreal, through one of the Inuit cultural principles, experiential learning. The definition of this principle in the context of art therapy and culture is followed by a review of experiential learning sources in the literature on psychotherapy and art therapy with Inuit and Aboriginals, as well as with psychotics. Coding of process notes has been used in two vignettes of adult Inuits hospitalized for psychotic episodes in a drug and alcohol abuse context. They have received 3 and 5 individual art therapy sessions. The analysis of what was learnt has revealed avenues of exploration for patients in addition to processes such as action in the art-making and the development of a symbolic narrative. The study has permitted to identify conditions influencing the experiential learning, such as ritualization of the therapeutic space, sensorial variation of materials, the ecology of the studio and a non-directive approach. The findings cannot be generalized due to the small number of cases, but they provide avenues for art therapy interventions in the context of cultural diversity and brief therapy in the hospital milieu.
