....After completing my PhD in French Studies at the University of Toronto in 1977, I spent the first part of my academic career teaching at Queen's University in Kingston and was appointed professor at the University of Western Ontario in 1994. In 2008, I was appointed Professor and Director of the School of Languages and Literatures at the University of Guelph. My interest in psychoanalysis evolved over many years and reached a turning point in 1998 when I decided to engage in clinical work and intensive training. I completed my psychoanalytic training at the Toronto Institute for Contemporary Psychoanalysis in 2005. At the present time, I experience my clinical work and my teaching as two very interconnected activities where one benefits the other. ....The following settings provided me with valuable clinical experience during my training period: the Psychotherapy Assessment Clinic at the Centre for Addiction and Mental Health, Toronto; the Psychological Services Office, University of Western Ontario; the London Psychiatric Hospital. |
