SUMMARYIn this text we have presented a certain pedagogic experiment that we have been carrying out for the last three years at the Malartic Hospital Centre in Abitibi and that we have applied to the Amos Hospital Centre with staff members of the psychiatric and obstetrics and gynaecology departments, and to the Notre Dame Hospital in Montreal. This experiment aims to provide the therapists with a training in psychotherapy, teaching them to use themselves as medium in the therapeutic relationship. To achieve this end, we use techniques which, while bearing similarities to those personalIy experienced by the therapists in therapy or learned in training, differ by the originality of their approach.We have thus attempted to show you a pedagogic experiment involving members of a hospital medical staff who, for the most part, had no specialized training and who were able to find in themselves a great inner intelligence and use it in their relations with their patients. For that it was necessary to teach them the means of identifying certain signals coming from themselves and to consider them as a certain kind of knowledge. We stress the fact that the originality of the method used has permitted the use of this type of pedagogy in an environment in which the therapists know one another and work together. We think that this kind of pedagogy should be included with traditional teaching in order that the therapist may draw upon both.

In the practice of clinical psychology, the systemic approach is worn only in a very narrow field: family therapy. While we can use in other fields of application of psychology, and this article is to prove it empirically, through the presentation of a clinical case discussed (studied and analyzed) by two different approaches represented by two different reference frames: the first is psychoanalytic, and the second based on the systemic approach, to lead to support this trend to take advantage of any approach in the interests in final of the patient: the integrative approach.

Throughout the history of the Victor Smirnoff Center, this text raises the question, specific to the clinical psychoanalytical institutions, of the construction of places and modalities of collective exchanges around the transferential and counter-transferential intimacy of psychoanalytic encounters and treatments. These modalities of inter-analytic exchanges, within the institution and with the rest of the analytical community, could reveal «the style» of each institution. It would be the occasion to display the history of the creation and evolution of each center, the theoretical convictions of their founders and/or directors, and their transference on psychoanalysis as well as the transferential remains of their own psychoanalytic pathways.

Le présent travail vise à évaluer le processus de changement intrapsychique chez un enfant après une année de psychothérapie psychanalytique. Historiquement, la recherche sur le changement a suscité peu d'intérêt du côté des psychanalystes d'enfants, ce qui désavantage grandement la psychanalyse en regard des approches cognitivo-comportementales, dont les bienfaits ont été démontrés à maintes reprises. Un des principaux problèmes rencontrés en abordant ce domaine d'étude est relié à la méthodologie traditionnellement utilisée par les psychanalystes, soit l'étude de cas clinique. Malgré les avantages indéniables de ce modèle d' acquisition des connaissances, celui-ci connaît néanmoins d'importantes lacunes, notamment au niveau de sa validité interne. Par conséquent, sa valeur sur le plan scientifique s'en trouve considérablement affaiblie. Dans le but de remédier à ce problème, nous avons …

In its current form, the Département de psychiatrie at the Université de Montréal (UdeM) was created in 1964. The first person to have headed was Dr. Gerard Beaudoin… Between 1948 and 1964, several others psychiatrists were heading the Département without necessary bearing a particular title.The directors of the Département from 1951 to now were: Drs. Fernand Côté, Camille Laurin, Gerard Beaudoin, Yvon Gauthier, Arthur Amyot, Francis Borgeat, Hugues Cormier, Sylvain Palardy, Jean Hébert, and Emmanuel Stip.When the Département opened, it was the second institution in Montréal that was training psychiatrists. During the first year, there were 3 psychiatric residents, but within 20 years this number had increased to 63. From the early years, teaching psychiatry to residents, and subsequently to all UdeM medical students, has been a priority in the Département, and over the years many psychiatrists trained at UdeM have attained leadership positions elsewhere. The Département attained an early reputation for excellence in both clinical and basic research.The strengths the Département developed in its early years in clinical psychopharmacology, in basic research in neurotransmitters, sleep, cognition, forensic, and in community psychiatry have been augmented more recently with active programs in psychotherapy research, substance abuse research, psychoneuroendocrinology, developmental aspects of behavior, genetics, epigenetics as well as the study of the brain through a variety of brain scanning techniques.The history of the Département de psychiatrie de l'Université de Montréal is largely dependent on that of each of the institutions affiliated to the Université: the Pavillon Albert-Prévost de l'Hôpital du Sacré-Coeur de Montréal (HSCM), the Institut universitaire en santé mentale de Montréal (IUSMM) and the CHU Sainte-Justine. We must also remember that the discovery of the potentiating of lithium by antidepressants was made by Dr. Demontigny team at the Hôpital Louis-H. Lafontaine (now IUSMM). Significant advances related to the interaction between the psychoanalytic movement and community psychiatry were greatly influenced by the work at the Pavillon Albert-Prévost and the emergence of behavioral therapies (Dr. Yves Lamontagne) and cognitive studies conducted by the Hôpital Louis-H. Lafontaine. Great discoveries about sleep were performed at the Hôpital du Sacré-Coeur de Montréal by teams gathered around Jacques-Yves Montplaisir.We also recall that two ministers from the Quebec government with important political responsibilities were members or directors of the Département de psychiatrie. These are Drs. Camille Laurin and Denis Lazure.The Département aims to strengthen clinical and basic research by contributing new knowledge that will improve care for people with mental disorders. These efforts benefit both patients and the medical students and residents being trained to care for them. The Département remains committed to its program, to pre-doctoral education (ensuring that all medical students at the Université are trained to recognize, diagnose, and be familiar with treatment options for mental disorders), to post-doctoral education for future psychiatrists, and to the care of Quebec's patients.For over 50 years, the academic department has played a key role in attracting and recruiting excellent academic and clinical resources to staff the programs and services of our hospital partners.

Objectives To examine the transfer of knowledge in psychiatry, longitudinally, over more than 35 years, through the 4 editions of the manual “Psychiatrie clinique” published in Quebec, thanks to the initiative of the publication directors affiliated with the Institut universitaire en santé mentale de Montréal (formerly the Louis-H. Lafontaine Hospital). Our hypothesis is that the evolution of the content and form of such a manual reflects an evolution of knowledge in psychiatry with a naturally educational vocation which of what must be known and applicable in the discipline. We expect, in our longitudinal examination, to identify the evolution of this knowledge transfer and the contexts of this change.

High-conflict parental separation cases generate significant challenges for psychosocial professional and law professionals. The Parentalité-Conflit-Résolution intervention protocol (PCR) offers an interdisciplinary alternative for dealing with these family situations, aiming to improve interparental communication and to support or restore the parent–child relationship. This article presents the practical framework of the psychotherapist within the PCR, the psychotherapist's role within the interdisciplinary model, the clinical issues he faces as well as the ethical challenges that come with such an intervention model. In conclusion, recommendations are made with the aim of clarifying the future of this innovative psycho-judicial intervention for families living in severe conflicts.

This article traces the history of feminist critiques of psychology and outlines the conditions that not only allow for the politicization of psychology by feminists, but also make it appear necessary in the United States in the 1970s. It describes what qualifies the feminist psychologists' project of transforming psychology as a process of politicization and what this entails. Finally, it proposes a reflection, based on this history and the proposals of the feminist psychologists studied, on what democratizing therapy means.
