Les secrets de l'Institut ( in French)

What is happening within the walls of the Institute? The Asile Saint-Michel-Archange, the Robert Giffard Hospital and the Quebec Mental Health University Institute are one and the same entity that has evolved over the years. In this book, I tell the stories of ten characters who belonged to very different periods of time and who all revealed their secrets to the Institute, in one way or another.

​

Inspired by true stories, each short story will illustrate a particular psychological health issue: whether it is social phobia, major depression, personality disorder, anorexia and so on. What will happen to Jean, Alice, Hachim, Pierre-Luc, and the others? Will it be possible for them to go beyond their initial situations, accept their differences and make their initial difficulties perhaps their greatest strengths?

​

Because of to the appendix at the end of the book, the reader, who wishes, can learn more about each of the pathologies presented in these stories.
