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.

    FORTY YEARS FOR LABRADOR BY SIR WILFRED GRENFELL K.C.M.G., M.D. (OxoN.), F.R.C.S., F.A.C.S. WITH ILLUSTRATIONS LONDON HODDER AND STOUGHTON LIMITED 1934 FIRST PUBLISHED MARCH 1933 POPULAR EDITION OCTOBER 1934 COPYRIGHT 1 19191 BY WILFRED THOMASON GRENFELL COPYRlGHT, 19321 BY WILFRED GRENFELl. 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.

    !1 Wisdom and a Skillful Hand Revisiting Our Past – Reshaping Our Future Presidential Address 2007: Canadian Association of General Surgeons delivered at the Canadian Surgery Forum, Fairmont Royal York Hotel, Toronto. 7 September 2007 by G. 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.

    Chronic Arthritis DR. J. A. NUTTER, Montreal* HRONIC arthritis causes so much disability and the payment of so many C millions of compensation that a determined effort is being made to fight it. It is being investigated from many angles and is a very live subject to­ day. The classification of chronic arthritis has been a bugbear always. It is cursed with a multitude of names which vary in their interpretation. It would seem however, that under four headings the whole subject may be not inadequately considered. The four headings are: (1) Rheumatoid arthritis. (2) Osteoarthritis. (3) Climacteric arthritis. (4) Gout. (1) Rheumatoid arthritis is that form which comes on mainly in the first four decades of life, and is usually, it is thought, due to focal infection. It may have a febrile onset, as in gonorrhoeal arthritis, and usually affects several joints. The inflammation attacks the soft parts of the joints, which have a good blood supply. The joints therefore become swollen and painful and later on more or less ankylosed. X-rays as a rule are negative, save for some bone atrophy. (2) Osteoarthritis is really a degeneration rather than an inflammation and appears usually after 50. It is, as a rule, an evidence of age, just like arteriosclerosis, or falling of the hair, but can also be produced by overuse or strain of a joint. A typical example of this last is the osteoarthritis produced by chronic strain of a knee when the hip on the same side is ankylosed. As the pathological process is a degeneration and therefore associated with a diminished blood supply, one finds that it begins in the interior of a joint, remote from any blood vessels.

Introduction The late Bjarne Kroepelien was a great collector of books and other printed material from the Polynesia, and specifically the Tahiti. Kroepelien stayed at Tahiti for about a year in 1918 and 1919. He was married there with a Tahitian woman. He was also adopted as a son of the chief in Papenoo, Teriieroo, and given his name. During his stay at Tahiti, the island was hit by the Spanish flu and about forty percent of the inhabitants lost their lives, among them his dear wife. Kroepelien organised the health services of the victims and the burials of the deceased, he was afterwards decorated with the French Order of Merit. He went back to Norway, but his heart was lost to Tahiti, but he chose never to return to his lost paradise, and he never remarried.
