“…Since 2016, an innovative intervention model has been implemented in Quebec, Canada, to provide specialized services to individuals, families, or communities who are, in one way or another, struggling with issues of violent radicalization ( Ben-Cheikh et al, 2018 ). First implemented in Montreal, five multidisciplinary teams are currently in operation across the province (i.e., in Montreal, Laval, Quebec City, Sherbrooke, and Gatineau).…”

Case formulation is used in clinical training to weave together theoretical perspectives and support a shared plan of action. Although a cornerstone of clinical practice, critical social theorists have highlighted the risks of depoliticizing political struggles and of reifying and fixing subjects when using psychopathology and case formulation to address situations of injustice. In the field of violent radicalization, this risk is increased by the extreme affects evoked by terror in practitioners and in societies. This article explores the challenges of training clinicians in the field of violent radicalization. It does so by analyzing a Community of Practice (CoP) that was developed to support practitioners involved in this domain of practice in Quebec, Canada. Four focus groups with CoP participants and participant observation of nine CoP meetings were conducted. Thematic and narrative analyses were used to explore the training potential of the CoP and to identify the discursive processes and group dynamics associated with this modality. Results indicate that the diversity of professional perspectives and social positionalities in the group plays a central role in helping participants become aware of their biases and in developing more complex understandings of cases and of their social embedding. Results also suggest that the collective holding of risk is key to preserve practitioners’ investment in patients involved with violent radicalization. The sensitive issue of partnership between health and social services and security agencies is also addressed. Results suggest that CoPs with strong leadership allow for experiential training to enhance clinical and critical thinking.

“…Plutôt que de se centrer sur la seule dimension cognitive, ces nouvelles approches prennent en compte la multiplicité et l'interaction des facteurs de risque et de protection qui entrent en jeu dans le phénomène de la radicalisation violente et qui débordent largement la question de l'idéologie. Parmi les facteurs de risque recensés figurent l'exclusion sociale (Ungar 2017 ;Franz, 2015), la discrimination (Abbas et Siddique, 2012 ;Buckley, 2013), les traumatismes vécus dans l'enfance et les difficultés d'attachement (Ben-Cheikh et al, 2018). Le versant affectif de ces expériences se traduit notamment par le ressentiment, la colère ou le désespoir, des sentiments auxquels les discours radicaux violents donnent voix et légitimité (Kruglanski, 2014 ;Griffin, 2012 ;Ben-Cheikh et al, 2018).…”

En prenant appui sur la mission de l’école québécoise qui consiste à instruire, socialiser et qualifier, le projet PhiloJeunes, implanté au Québec depuis 2015, œuvre au renforcement des facteurs de protection face à la radicalisation violente par la voie de l’implantation d’une pratique philosophique en classe. Le présent article se fonde sur une étude qualitative menée auprès de pédagogues engagés dans ce projet éducatif, afin d’explorer leur expérience lors de la formation et de l’application dudit projet. L’analyse met en lumière les défis et les leviers rencontrés par les pédagogues, notamment en regard d’une certaine prescription/proscription normative quant à l’expression et à la circulation des émotions. L’inévitable imbrication entre la sphère rationnelle et la sphère émotionnelle amène les autrices à soutenir, dans la veine de l’héritage de John Dewey, un dépassement de cette désuète opposition, afin d’embrasser une éducation démocratique sensible qui puisse favoriser la réalisation des objectifs de prévention de la radicalisation violente par la voie de la discussion philosophique en contexte scolaire.

“…Third, the analysis of psychiatric theory and practice as specific cultural products supplies a necessary vantage point from which to critique governments' responses to radicalization (Aggarwal, 2015) and public health programs that target whole populations such as Muslims (Aggarwal, 2019a;Younis & Jadhav, 2019a). In contrast, cultural psychiatry can help develop clinical and public health strategies to reduce the prevalence of radicalization to violence in diverse contexts, such as through social services (Ben Cheikh et al, 2018) and community-led programs that counteract attitudes legitimizing violence.…”

This article introduces a thematic issue of Transcultural Psychiatry with selected papers from the McGill Advanced Study Institute in Cultural Psychiatry on “Pluralism and Polarization: Cultural Contexts and Dynamics of Radicalization,” which took place June 20–22, 2017. The ASI brought together an interdisciplinary group scholars to consider the role of social dynamics, cultural contexts and psychopathology in radicalization to violent extremism. Papers addressed four broad topics: (1) current meanings and uses of the term radicalization; (2) personal and social determinants of violent radicalization, including individual psychology, interpersonal dynamics, and wider social-historical, community and network processes; (3) social and cultural contexts and trajectories of radicalization including the impact of structural and historical forces associated with colonization and globalization as well as contemporary political, economic and security issues faced by youth and disaffected groups; and (4) approaches to community prevention and clinical intervention to reduce the risk of violent radicalization. In this introductory essay, we revisit these themes, define key terms, and outline some of the theoretical and empirical insights in the contributions to this issue. Efforts to prevent violent radicalization face challenges because social media and the Internet allow the rapid spread of polarizing images and ideas. The escalation of security measures and policies also serves to confirm the worldview of conspiracy theory adherents. In addition to addressing the structural inequities that fuel feelings of anger and resentment, we need to promote solidarity among diverse communities by building a pluralistic civil society that offers a meaningful alternative to the violent rhetorics of us and them.
