SEXUAL ADDICTION: AN OLD AFFLICTION RETURNING TO THE SPOTLIGHT FIONA AISTON In Regulated Passions: The Invention of Inhibited Sexual Desire and Sexual Addiction, American spiritual theorist Janice Irvine affirmed that the medicalization of compulsive sexual desire in the form of sexual addiction has been the result of “the culture of sex panic exacerbated by AIDS [Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome]” and “the terror of sexual excess.” This presentation challenges Irvine’s conclusions about sexual addiction. Using case presentations and psychiatric texts from the early 19th century, it will explore how the term now used for hyperactive sexual behaviour is not new. Many terms have been used interchangeably over the last two hundred years to describe sexual addiction, including sexual excesses, hypersexuality, Don Juanism and sexual dependence.

ALL RIGHTS RESERVED, INCLUDING THE RIGHT TO RRPRODUCIT. THIS BOOK. OR PARTS THEREOF IN ANY FORM Made tJttJd Pri•ted ;,. Great Britain. R. & R. CLARK, LIMITBD, Edi,./nwgh TO MY WIFE PREFACE A BIOLOGIST, watching one animal in his vivarium to see how an experiment turns out, expects to arrive nearer the truth as time elapses and the end draws near. Just so, spectators watch­ ing a runner in a race get more and more interested as the last lap approaches and the goal looms in sight. Then the runner's achievement is easier to appraise. Life's struggle, moreover, becomes increasingly interesting now that philosophers again permit us to regard results as dependent upon causes which are under the control of the individual runner to a very large extent. The title of this new record has been changed, to suggest that this is the last lap, and that deductions from the facts may be expected to be more mature and therefore more worth while, provided they are honest. The consciousness of having to live alongside the first venture into autobiography involved a kind of vivisection; for to have to tell the truth about one's real self carries with it the inescapable reproach of nudism, however salutary that may be for one's spiritual welfare, or however interesting to others.

  • Inuit Contributions Toward the Public Provision of Health Care in Canada, 1900–1930
    AVoice of Presence: Inuit Contributions toward the Public Provision of Health Care in Canada, 1900–1930 FRANK JAMES TESTER PAULE McNICOLL* Faced with issues of Arctic sovereignty, the Canadian state moved, often reluctantly, to address the health and welfare concerns of Inuit. Caught between a fear of creat- ing dependency and being accused of neglecting its responsibilities, the Canadian government’s response during the period 1900 to 1930 was confused and inconsist- ent in its attempts to reconcile commercial interests — particularly those of the Hudson’s Bay Company — with concerns for sovereignty and Inuit welfare. Inuit voice — and observations of that voice — highlighted the necessity for the state’s involvement and emphasized the role and impact of commercial ventures such as the HBC on public health. The “voice of presence” — an Inuit contribution to public health policy in Canada — should not go unrecognized. Face a` la proble´matique de la souverainete´ dans l’Arctique, l’E´ tat canadien s’est attaque´, souvent avec re´ticence, aux pre´occupations des Inuits en matie`re de sante´ et de bien-eˆtre. Coince´ entre la crainte de susciter la de´pendance et celle d’eˆtre accuse´ de ne´gliger ses responsabilite´s, le gouvernement canadien a, durant la pe´riode 1900–1930, tente´ dans la confusion et l’incohe´rence de concilier les inte´reˆts commerciaux – en particulier ceux de la Compagnie de la baie d’Hudson – et les pre´occupations en matie`re de souverainete´ et de bien-eˆtre des Inuits. La voix des Inuits – et les observations de cette prise de parole – ont fait ressortir la ne´cessite´ pour l’E´ tat d’intervenir et mis l’accent sur le roˆle d’entreprises commerciales telles que la CBH et leur impact sur la sante´ publique.

William N. Fitzgerald, C.M., M.D., FRCSC Charles S. Curtis Memorial Hospital St. Anthony, Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada Postal Code: A0K 4S0 Tel: 709 454 3333 Fax: 709 454 2052 e-mail: [email protected] (Fig.1) !2 My Dear Colleagues and Visitors, At the outset let me say that I am greatly honoured to have served as President of our Association and, when I survey the list of distinguished surgeons who have preceded me in this post, profoundly humbled. (Fig. 2) The title of my address - Wisdom and a Skillful Hand: Revisiting Our Past – Reshaping Our Future includes, of course, the motto of our Association. WISDOM is the product of JUDGEMENT tempered by EXPERIENCE. Sir William Osler (1849 – 1919) said: The value of experience is not in seeing much, but in seeing wisely. (Fig.3) !3 I intend to consider the future of our specialty in the context of a brief history of the profession given the realities of the modern day. Where I come from, geographically, clinically and philosophically is germane to my argument. My journey has not been a solo one. I acknowledge the love and encouragement of my parents (Fig.4) and that of my wife, Trudy, (Dr. M.G. O’Keefe) at once my soul mate, my colleague, my closest friend and harshest but most perceptive critic.

  • Bibliography of Works Using Sources from the University of Toronto Archives
    Bibliography of works using sources from the University of Toronto Archives Compiled by Harold Averill July 2004 26th revision, June, 2019 © University of Toronto Archives and Records Management Services, 2019 Bibliography of works using sources from the University of Toronto Archives Introduction Since 1965 the University of Toronto Archives and Records Management Services has been acquiring, preserving and making available the documentary heritage of the University of Toronto as a permanent resource in support of the operational, educational and research needs of the University community and the general public. Over the years, the thousands of researchers who have used the Archives have produced a huge number of articles, books, theses and other publications, and material has also been used in films, videos, radio, stage and other multi-media productions. In 2004 Harold Averill, the Assistant University Archivist, initiated a project to capture the record of this research. This ongoing project is designed to draw the reader’s attention to the range of research that has been conducted at University of Toronto Archives and, by implication, the wealth of our holdings. The listings include published or produced material only and, while comprehensive, make no claim to be complete. It is currently divided into four sections: books, articles, catalogues and pamphlets; theses and research papers; plays; and moving image material. Other sections will be added as information becomes available. Researchers are invited to submit the results of their research for inclusion. Please provide full bibliographic record(s) to [email protected] A. Books, articles, catalogues, and pamphlets A guide to architectural records in the University of Toronto Archives.
