Depression is a common psychiatric disorder in older adults, and its impacts on this group of people, along with itsconventional treatment, merit our attention. Conventional pharmacological methods might result in dependence and impair-ment in psychomotor and cognitive functioning. Listening to music, which is a non-pharmacological method, might reducedepression.
Design.
A randomised controlled study.
Method.
The study was conducted from July 2009–June 2010 at participants’ home in Singapore. In total, 50 older adults (24using music and 26 control) completed the study after being recruited. Participants listened to their choice of music for30 minutes per week for eight weeks.
Outcome measures.
Depression scores were collected once a week for eight weeks.
Results.
Depression levels reduced weekly in the music group, indicating a cumulative dose effect, and a statistically significantreduction in depression levels was found over time in the music group compared with non-music group.
Conclusions.
Listening to music can help older people to reduce their depression level.
Relevance to clinical practice.
Music is a non-invasive, simple and inexpensive therapeutic method of improving life quality incommunity-dwelling older people.

VIENT DE PARAÎTRE : Micheline Weinstein / Petit glossaire des concepts freudiens appliqués à la clinique selon François Perrier
Les fonctions de méconnaissance du sujet
S’agit-il d’être confondu ou d’être reconnu lorsqu’on s’adresse à un psychanalyste ou à la psychanalyse ? Il est aujourd’hui difficile de répondre.
Chez tous ceux qui interrogent la découverte freudienne se mêlent un désir de maîtrise qui est une forme de méconnaissance de l’analyse*, et une vague aspiration plus ou moins angoissée à ce quelque chose qui viendrait pour chacun confondre sa bonne conscience ou son système de méconnaissance.
[…]
… il existe une démarche épistémophilique, celle du pervers en particulier, qui, parce qu’elle est une forme de savoir scientifique ou de démarche scientifique, est aussi une méconnaissance ou un rejet * d’un certain registre ou d’une certaine ouverture à quelque chose qui est une forme de non savoir. Ainsi le savoir, en tant qu’alibi du non-savoir, est également une des formes à mettre en place pour établir l’économie même de l’ouverture de l’homme à sa propre vérité.
[…]
Freud néanmoins, à partir de son désir originel de répondre à ce qui n’était pas entendu jusqu’alors par les autres, parce qu’ils ne savaient pas déchiffrer la demande des névrosés, a été amené à faire l’inventaire progressif de toutes les fonctions de méconnaissances du sujet postulant à un savoir. C’est ainsi qu’il a découvert la résistance, mais aussi le transfert, le refoulement, la dénégation dans sa fonction même, le rejet et le désaveu. Ces termes qui s’expriment en
allemand à partir du préfixe ver, Verdrängung, Verneinung, Verwerfung, Verleugnung, doivent être mis en avant dès qu’on parle de transmission d’un savoir.François Perrier
