Jacques GAGNON, 121st course,
psychiatrist and professor
(1942-….)

Originally from Montreal. Born in 1942.

Did his classical and philosophical studies at Collège de l’Assomption from 1954 to 1961.

After obtaining a Bachelor of Arts from the University of Montreal (Collège de l’Assomption) in 1961 and a doctorate in Medicine from the University of Montreal in 1965, he obtained his titles as specialist in psychiatry in the province of Quebec (C.S.P.Q.) and Associate Member of the Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons in Canada (F.R.C.P.) in 1970. He did his last year of residency in Paris and has excellent memories of it.

In 2002-2003, he took particular training in insurance medicine and expertise at the University of Montreal.
 

Teaching

Has taught psychiatry since the early 1970s in several programs and faculties, mainly to medical students and to residents in psychiatry. He contributed to the training of an entire generation of general practitioners in the family medicine programme of the University of Montreal. He still teaches in the framework of the microprogram of specialist medicine, aimed at training better medico-legal experts. Holds the title of assistant professor of private clinic at the University of Montreal.
 

Publications

In addition to a score of articles, he has participated in four editions of the textbook of psychiatry (1980, 1988,1999 and upcoming for 2013) used by the students of the three French-speaking universities of Quebec; this work is also distributed in Europe. His contribution related to the chapters on the psychiatric examination, medical psychology, psychotherapies, and in the edition in preparation, on labor. In the latter, he broaches the positive psychosocial aspects of work, the constraints (organization, interpersonal relations, values, etc.) and the maladies connected to them, as well as the problems of violence and harassment and certain legal aspects. He is also the author of a topical article published in the review Le Spécialiste (March 2008) bearing on querulousness, that is to say the behavior of people who endlessly seek to vindicate their honor which they feel has been trampled upon.

He recorded a 3-hour course relating to somatoform disorders, in February 2008, for the expert insurance physician programme.
 

Practise and Expertise

Practiced adult psychiatry at the Louis-H.-Lafontaine and Maisonneuve-Rosemont Hospitals from 1970 to 2008, with hospitalized patients, users of the external private clinic and the day-hospital, and in the framework of the consultation-liaison.

He has devoted himself for nearly 16 years to the practice of civil medico-legal expertise, initially part-time and now, as his sole activity. Solicitations come (from the areas of) health in the workplace, assessment of aptitude to follow an occupation, and litigation (law suits against professionals or establishments) in cases concerned at various courts, including Superior Court, the CLP, the TAQ and other administrative tribunals, in addition to labor arbitration. He takes a great deal of pleasure in defending his files before a court. One of his most memorable experiences was that related to a querulous female lawyer.

Is he thinking of retiring?  Eventually… in a few years.
 

Administrative Functions

He was head of the Department of Psychiatry at L.-H.-Lafontaine for 3 years and for 14 years at Maisonncuve-Rosemont, where he was involved in management, and numerous committees: hospital, university and regional.

He was a jury member for examinations of the Royal College and the College of Physicians of Quebec. He also took part in the professional inspection committee and paid practice assessment visits to establishments and private offices. He sat on the Board of examiners for patients detained in virtue of the Criminal Code. He also chaired a conference of the Association of Physician-psychiatrists of Quebec.

There you have it, the essentials of a professional career well lived, approaching its point of destination.

He shares his life with Lisette CATY.

On the “Rule of Law”
“In public regulation of this sort there is no such thing as absolute and untrammelled ‘discretion’, that is that action can be taken on any ground or for any reason that can be suggested to the mind of the administrator; no legislative Act can, without express language, be taken to contemplate an unlimited arbitrary power exercisable for any purpose, however capricious or irrelevant, regardless of the nature or purpose of the statute. Fraud and cor­ruption in the Commission may not be mentioned in such statutes but they are always implied as exceptions. ‘Discretion’ necessarily implies good faith in discharging public duty; there is always a perspective within which a statute is intended to operate; and any clear departure from its lines or objects is just as objectionable as fraud or corruption.”

— Mr. Justice Ivan Cleveland Rand writing in the most memorable passage in Roncarelli v. Duplessis, [1959] S.C.R. 121 at the Supreme Court of Canada, page 140.
Random Quote

The social tyranny of extorting recantation, of ostracism and virtual outlawry as the new means of coercing the man out of line, is the negation of democracy.

— Justice Ivan Cleveland Rand of the Supreme Court of Canada, Canadian Bar Review (CBR)
Random Quote
Fears are mounting that the psychiatrist Anatoly Koryagin is near to death in the notorious jail of Christopol in central Russia. Letters that have reached the West from his wife and a friend indicate that he is so weak that unless he is given expert medical care he could die at any time. Dr. Koryagin has been in prison for the last four years for actively opposing the political abuse of psychiatry. The abuse takes the form of labeling dissidents as mad and forcibly treating them with drugs in mental hospitals.   ― Peter B. Reddaway, "The Case of Dr. Koryagin", October 10, 1985 issue of The New York Times Review of Books
"If we were lawyers, this would be billable time."
A Word on Caricature
“Humor is essential to a successful tactician, for the most potent weapons known to mankind are satire and ridicule.”

— “The Education of an Organizer”, p. 75, Rules for Radicals, A Practical Primer for Realistic Radicals by Saul Alinsky, Random House, New York, 1971.

I am no fan of Saul Alinsky's whose methods are antidemocratic and unparliamentary. But since we are fighting a silent war against the subversive Left, I say, if it works for them, it will work for us. Bring on the ridicule!  And in this case, it is richly deserved by the congeries of judicial forces wearing the Tweedle suits, and by those who are accurately conducting our befuddled usurpers towards the Red Dawn.
