Abstract
This manuscript provides a first description of a specialized clinical work addressing the radicalization leading to violence phenomenon in Canada. Since July 2016, a multidisciplinary clinical team attached to a mental health and primary care program in Montreal proposes specialized consultations to support partners across Quebec.
This paper describes the clinical team approach, the consultation service organization and illustrates through clinical vignettes the main categories of social and clinical problems referred to the team during its first year of operation.
Our preliminary observations confirm the relevance of a multidisciplinary evaluation based on a systemic approach to the phenomenon of violent radicalization, to apprehend the different social, familial and individual factors that influence the manifestations of this phenomenon, and to determine the nature of relevant psychosocial and / or psychiatric interventions. The presentation of clinical cases provides social, community and mental health workers with avenues of intervention and an understanding of the phenomenon of violent radicalization as it occurs in the networks of health, youth protection, and health care education in Quebec.
