Brief summary

The objective is to validate a psychotherapeutic group protocol of dance as therapy created by LOBA association with a comparative non-randomized study.

Detailed description

This present research is a prospective longitudinal monocentric comparative study of an alternative, non-pharmacological therapy. It is a controlled, non-randomized, and experimental study in which half of the participants benefit from an additional program with speech and movement co-therapy via body activity, and the other half only benefit from standard support (e.g. medical, social, and legal assistance, individual psychotherapy). The effect of this program will be examined across three dimensions: * A clinical trial of N=80 participants to compare symptom improvement between individuals receiving the standard support for victims of sexual violence (N=40) and those receiving, in addition, the RECREATION program (N=40). * A longitudinal evaluation of physiological conditions, psychological traits, and social well-being of RECREATION workshop attendees (N=10) versus victims not participating in said workshops (N=10). * A qualitative analysis of interviews with program participants and their associated professionals (data saturation sample size).
