I am an associate professor at the School of Social Work and Criminology at Université Laval in the province of Québec, Canada. Previously a full professor at this school, I was interested in the field of mental health, which I taught at the undergraduate and graduate levels. Some themes were particularly dear to me, including the possibility for people with mental health problems to recover and participate fully in society. I have conducted a number of research projects, including some related to the phenomenon of voice hearing, funded by the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council of Canada. I was a Visiting Research Fellow at the Institute of Psychiatry in London to further investigate the subject. I have been involved in the development of innovative practices in this area. In parallel to this development, a provincial network of voice hearers was created. I am currently involved in works conducted by this group. I obtained a doctorate in community psychology from the School of Psychology at Université Laval. I did a postdoctoral fellowship at the Douglas Hospital (now the Douglas Mental Health University Institute). I am a member of the Board of Psychologists of Quebec.
