Patrick Clervoy is a French psychiatrist.

Biography

His education began in Nice, where he completed his nursery school. After secondary studies at the Saint-Cyr Military College, he continued his studies at the Army Health Service School in Bordeaux from 1977 to 1984. Assigned to the 41st Infantry Regiment, he carried out his first two missions in the Central African Republic during Operation Épervier in 1986, before departing for Guyana in 1988. He was then assigned to the Val-de-Grâce Army Instruction Hospital and the Val-de-Grâce School from 1989 to 1994. Patrick Clervoy was sent to the Scrive Army Hospital Center in Lille from 1995 to 1997, then reassigned to the Val-de-Grâce Army Instruction Hospital from 1997 to 2002. He carried out a mission in Bosnia and Herzegovina with SFOR in 1998. From 2002 to 2015, he worked at the Sainte-Anne Army Instruction Hospital in Toulon. He completed a mission in Afghanistan during Operation Pamir in 2011. It was in Afghanistan that he believes he found the reasons for his commitment. In 2013, Patrick Clervoy undertook a final mission in Mali during Operation Serval. Since 2015, upon returning to civilian life, Patrick Clervoy has practiced liberal medicine.

Personal life

The son of Jean Clervoy, an Air Force officer and fighter pilot, and Mireille Lemonde, Patrick Clervoy is the twin brother of Jean-François Clervoy, a French astronaut at the European Space Agency.

Scientific career

Patrick Clervoy was the head of the psychiatry department at the Sainte-Anne Army Instruction Hospital. He was also a lecturer at the Val-de-Grâce School. He conducted research on stress and post-traumatic states in collaboration with the Army Biomedical Research Institute. Professor Clervoy was a member of the NATO working group on stress and psychological support in modern military operations. He was also a member of the French Society of Army Medicine and a full member of the Medical-Psychological Society.

In 2007, Patrick Clervoy developed a concept he termed the "Lazarus Syndrome," which he envisioned as a prolonged relational disorder between a person who has gone through an intense traumatic experience and their close family and professional environment. In 2009, he became interested in psychologists, doctors, and psychiatrists working on the ground, often in emergencies.

In November 2012, Patrick Clervoy published a real-time journal of the ten weeks he spent at the military hospital in Kabul. The book won an award the following year. In 2013, Patrick Clervoy explored the dark forces that, regardless of the degree of civilization, turn every human being into a potential perpetrator. Drawing from the works of Solomon Asch, Stanley Milgram, and Philip Zimbardo, Clervoy demonstrated the unconscious mechanisms of collective violence, from the Saint Bartholomew's Day Massacre to Abu Ghraib prison, from the Armenian genocide to the Vietnam War, and from the shaving of women during Liberation to ethnic cleansing in the former Yugoslavia, and from bullfighting to hazing. This work won an award in 2014.

In 2018, he published a study on the phenomena at work in healing, particularly the underutilized dimension of vital force as described by Charles Lasègue in the 19th century, which was foundational to the vitalist movement in medicine.
