Article
Over the last decades, empowerment has become one of the defining concepts of twenty-first-century social work practice. Many studies have set out to show its benefits, highlighting a positive view of individuals and their ability to instigate sustainable change in their life and/or community. The concept, however, has been more often praised than...

More than any other team, the Habs play an important role in the identity, economy, and culture of their home town and province. The essays in The Montreal Canadiens: Rethinkin...

Background Implementing mental health recovery into services is a policy priority in Canada and globally. To that end, a 5 year study was undertaken with seven organisations providing mental health and housing services to people living with a mental health challenge to implement guidelines for the transformation of services and systems towards a re...
Article
Recovery is the focus of mental health strategies internationally. However, little translation of recovery knowledge has occurred in mental health services. The purpose of this research is to bridge the gap between recovery guidelines and practice by developing a new implementation strategy involving the formation of implementation teams made up of...

In psychiatry, the concept of “insight” commonly refers to a patient’s judgment that they have a mental illness and need clinical treatment. However, this concept has been criticized because it imposes psychiatric knowledge on the subjective experiences of mental illness and possible interventions. A significant body of literature is critical of me...
Article
This teaching note reflects on the challenges we face when attempting to cultivate the seeds of social justice in our pedagogy and our engagement toward social justice. First, we situate our vision of pedagogy in a critical lens and present challenges we encounter when trying to foster activism among students. The challenges we identify allow us to...

At the time of the COVID-19 outbreak and lockdown measures, six of the seven organizations had begun implem...

Background The Consolidated Framework for Implementation Research (CFIR) and the ERIC compilation of implementation strategies are key resources for identifying implementation barriers and strategies. However, their respective density and complexity make their application to implementation planning outside of academia challenging. We developed the...
Article
Since its initial publication, the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders has been the object of criticism which has led to regular revisions by the American Psychiatric Association. This article analyses the debates that surrounded the publication of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (5th ed.). Building on th...
Presentation
Based on the results of my doctoral research, this presentation explores what it can mean to be a “patient” in two Ontario mental health institutions. The shift towards deinstitutionalization of mental health services and socio-normative transformations towards a society based on ideals of autonomy, individual responsibility and personal initiative...
Article
Full-text available
Previous research in sociology has shown that what is considered as sanity or mental health is described according to a social ideal. Mental health problems have theorized as a deviance from such norms. Depression, in particular, has been the object of sociological contemplation, regarding its divergence from a Western social normativity focused on...
Article
This paper explores the rarely addressed subject of linguistic majority in the context of Canadian society, through a qualitative analysis of 19 semi-directed interviews with Anglophone participants.

Lors de mon terrain de recherche doctorale effectué dans une unité de soins en santé mentale francophone de la région d’Ottawa, j’ai pu constater l’importance de « l’autocritique », aussi appelé l’insight. De façon générale, ce concept renvoie à la capacité des patients à expliquer leur situation de manière « conforme » à la réalité. Toutefois, ce...
Presentation
Le travail social est une discipline qui, depuis ses débuts, se démarque des autres disciplines du domaine de la relation d’aide – tels la psychologie, la psychiatrie et le counseling – notamment en raison de son engagement marqué pour la justice sociale. Depuis quelques décennies, un concept est venu alimenter cet intérêt de notre profession pour...
Presentation
La dépression est souvent abordée d’un point de vue strictement médical et/ou psychologique. Toutefois, un regard sociologique posé sur ce trouble nous permet de mieux saisir la chair du social. En effet, les troubles dits dépressifs présentent la caractéristique sociologique d’être des révélateurs des manquements aux impératifs normatifs. Dans le...
Presentation
L’empowerment est un concept mouvant qui, dans le domaine du travail social, a de réelles répercussions sur la vie des usagers de services en santé mentale. Avec la publication en 2009 du document Vers le rétablissement et le bien-être par la Commission de la santé mentale du Canada, l’empowerment devient sans équivoque la voie de légitimation par...
