Research Themes

Areas of research

Research projects at the Centre de recherche de l'IPPM focus on four major themes. However, considering the interdisciplinary aspect of its research, each project inevitably has a positive impact on the others.  

  • First theme
    Development of assessment tools and methodologies applied to the study of mental disorders and violent behaviour. 

 

  • Second theme
    Study of the clinical, psychosocial and environmental factors related to mental disorders and violent behaviour.

 

  • Third theme
    Assessment of needs, services and practices related to mental disorders and violent behaviour. 

     

  • Fourth theme (in development)
    Study of the neurochemical, neurological, neuropsychological and psychophysiological aspects of violent behaviour.
