My research work addresses different themes linked to couple relationships, in the general population and in clinical populations. First of all, the adult attachment theory shapes much of my research. Drawing inspiration from this theoretical model, I examine the close bonds between attachment, conjugal support and sexuality, to better understand the dynamics of conjugal relations among different populations of couples. Second, I am especially interested in infertility. My work aims at 1) assessing the psychological, conjugal and sexual impacts of this problem, 2) assessing the specific needs of couples undergoing infertility treatment and 3) developing interventions for optimizing these couples' well-being. Lastly, conjugal abuse and dyadic coping are also among my fields of interest.

La détresse conjugale en contexte de stress: Mécanismes explicatifs et interventions de couple
Les effets délétères de la détresse conjugale sur la santé physique et mentale sont bien connus. Il est donc crucial de comprendre les causes de celle-ci. Le stress peut altérer de manière profonde les dynamiques conjugales et nuire à la qualité des relations conjugales. Les mécanismes par lesquels le stress affecte les processus conjugaux que mènent à la détresse conjugale sont toutefois méconnus.

Le fonctionnement psychologique, conjugal et sexuel chez les couples suivis en traitement de fertilité : contributions...
Au Québec, l'étude de l'infertilité est d'un grand intérêt puisque la loi sur la gratuité de la procréation assistée décrétée en août 2010 bat des records de popularité. Alors que de plus en plus de couples auront recours aux traitements de fertilité, il est impératif d'examiner les facteurs modulant leur bien-être. À ce jour, peu d'études québécoises ont visé cet objectif. Plusieurs lacunes sont aussi soulevées, dont le peu d'études longitudinales.
