Description
A modernist psychiatrist trained in the 1940s at the University of Montreal, Roger R. Lemieux (1919–1999) was also a key figure in Quebec antipsychiatry. In 1974, he founded a therapeutic commune seeking to break with the models of care for people with schizophrenia: l’Abri d’Érasme. However, far from the announced break with official psychiatric institutions, and in particular with the University of Montreal where he taught and worked at the time, Lemieux continued to maintain lasting and therefore ambiguous relationships with them. This article focuses on this duality and what it teaches us about the history of Quebec psychiatry, as well as that of the academic community and the counterculture.
