Dr. Langevin is recognized nationally and internationally as an exceptional researcher in the field of developmental trauma, as demonstrated by her stellar record and ever-increasing research productivity. Her research addresses a pressing social issue: the intergenerational (dis)continuity of child maltreatment. Her innovative approach integrates advanced analytical tools and a biopsychosocial framework to explore how this complex problem unfolds across different sociocultural contexts. By leveraging both national and international partnerships, she contributes to shaping our global understanding of intergenerational child maltreatment. She works with community and clinical partners, and her findings have been integrated into clinical assessments, interventions, and preventative services in Quebec, enhancing care and supporting resilience and recovery for maltreatment survivors and their families. As a whole, Dr. Langevin’s projects promote equity, diversity, and inclusion by considering and addressing a host of sociocultural factors involved in intergenerational maltreatment in Canada. Through her involvement with the Global Collaboration on Traumatic Stress, she also extends this work globally in non-Western and low-to-middle income countries, fostering a more inclusive and culturally informed understanding of maltreatment across contexts.
In addition to being an outstanding researcher, Dr. Langevin is a licensed clinical psychologist offering services to adults suffering from complex trauma, anxiety, and mood disorders since 2014. Dr. Langevin is a dedicated mentor to her students.
