Arnaud Leroy

Clinically, I am a psychiatrist at the Regional Center for Psychotrauma Hauts-de-France (CHU de Lille), where I am responsible for the intensive and integrated day hospital (REPII project – Organizational Innovation Fund in Psychiatry 2023) and the functional dissociative crisis consultation. The REPII project involves a multidisciplinary team combining various psychotherapeutic approaches and offering innovative psychocorporal interventions, including a sports program to complement psychotherapy.

In terms of teaching, I provide instruction at the Faculty of Medicine of Lille, from PASS (health studies) to postgraduate courses. The teaching formats include lectures, guided learning sessions, and simulation-based education. The subjects I teach encompass general psychiatry, psychotic disorders, communication, mental health prevention, psychotrauma, support for victims of domestic violence, and hallucinations. Within the faculty, I am a member of the MED4-MED5 examination board. Nationally, as part of the National Center for Resources and Resilience (CN2R), I contribute to the working group dedicated to developing pedagogical guidelines.

In research, I am a member of the Beliefs & Perceptions team within the Lille Neuroscience & Cognition Center (BEƎꟼ team, INSERM U-1172, Univ Lille). My research primarily focuses on exploring the neuronal and peripheral bases of stress and body-brain interactions, especially in patients suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder and functional dissociative crises.
