Lorraine Derocher

 

Lorraine Derocher works at the University of Sherbrooke’s research group Société, Droit et Religions de l'Université de Sherbrooke (SoDRUS) in Quebec, Canada.  She also teaches Sociology of Religion at that university. She has just published the results of her Master's Thesis, Vivre son enfance au sein d'une secte religieuse: Comprendre pour mieux intervenir (Presses de l’Université du Québec, 2008), which explores the challenges faced by those who were born or raised in apocalyptic groups when they leave their groups. She is presently pursuing her Ph.D. and is interested in finding new ways to intervene in problematic situations involving neglected or abused children in authoritarian groups. She also gives lectures on the topic and training to professionals who work with second generation adults.
