Over the past century views about trauma among physicians, military leaders, society, and veterans’ themselves have been shaped by medical theories, predominant views about the ideal soldier and man, and the nation’s role in international affairs. Since the First World War, major conflicts and peacekeeping operations have been responsible for distinct shifts in how trauma is conceptualized, named, and experienced by Canadian soldiers and the public. Canadian historians have examined this subject by looking at particular wars, most notably the First World War, but no attempt has been made to provide a monograph-length study of military trauma over the past century. This thesis utilizes several lenses – medical, social, and cultural – to explore how conceptions of trauma changed from 1914 to 2014, how such changes affected veterans in their civilian life, and the interactions between medical and popular knowledge, military culture, and veterans’ lived experiences. With a particular emphasis on the latter, it uses oral interviews with veterans of the post-Cold War, government reports, medical literature, and national newspapers to track shifts in consciousness about trauma and its social and medical treatment. It argues that despite numerous changes in medical thought and popular understandings of trauma, stigmas about psychological illness persisted, and that masculine ideals inherent in 1914 were still present, albeit in an altered form, one-hundred years later. It also argues that the Canadian veteran’s experience demonstrates that from 1914 to 2014, trauma consistently oscillated between being a medical entity and a metaphorical representation of war, peacekeeping, veterans’ socio-economic struggles, and national identity. This thesis takes advantage of a historically unique openness in the Canadian military since the year 2000 to contribute to a growing literature about trauma in Canadian military history and society. ii Acknowledgements I am indebted to numerous people for their help during the research and writing of this project. First and foremost I wish to thank my supervisor Dr. Erika Dyck for her unwavering support and guidance, and for helping me to “see the forest for the trees” on numerous occasions. I would also like to thank my committee members, Drs. Valerie Korinek, Bill Waiser, and Camelia Adams for their constructive input throughout this process, as well as my external examiner, Dr. Mark Humphries. Thanks also to the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council for helping fund this study. There are too many veterans and Canadian Armed Forces members who aided me to thank individually, nevertheless I would like to acknowledge those who were crucial to this project’s completion. Thanks to Dr. Allan English and Brigadier-General (ret.) Joe Sharpe for providing me their recollections, input, and some material unavailable elsewhere. Thank you also to Lieutenant-Colonel (ret.) Stéphane Grenier for his reminiscences, insightful thoughts about trauma, and correspondence throughout the past many months. Most kind thanks as well to Master Warrant Officer (ret.) Barry Westholm for sharing his story, discussing military culture, and pointing me in the right direction more than a few times. To all of those who freely and courageously shared their personal battles with trauma and subsequent journey, I wish to say: this work could not have been done without you, thank you. Lastly, I would like to thank my family for their ongoing support, and for always believing in me. Thank you especially to Stephanie Bellissimo for being my rock and friend throughout the past four years, and thank you to Saydie for all of the support she gave, even if she is unaware of it. To anyone I may have overlooked: my sincerest thanks for your help. iii List of Abbreviations APA: American Psychiatric Association ARTAL: Adjustment Reaction to Adult Life BOI: Croatia Board of Inquiry CAF: Canadian Armed Forces CAR: Canadian Airborne Regiment CBC: Canadian Broadcasting Corporation CDS: Chief of the Defence Staff CEF: Canadian Expeditionary Force CF: Canadian Forces (Used interchangeably with CAF and “Forces”) CFB: Canadian Forces Base CISD: Critical Incident Stress Debriefing CJP: Canadian Journal of Psychiatry CMHA: Canadian Mental Health Association CNCMH: Canadian National Committee for Mental Hygiene CPA: Canadian Psychiatric Association CSS: Combat Service Support DND: Department of National Defence DPNH: Department of Pensions and National Health DSCR: Department of Soldiers’ Civil Reestablishment DSM: Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders DVA: Department of Veterans’ Affairs GAP: Group for the Advancement of Psychiatry GSR: Gross Stress Reaction GWS: Gulf War Syndrome iv IPSC: Integrated Personnel Support Centre JPSU: Joint Personnel Support Unit MHC: Military Hospitals Commission MHCHC: Military Hospitals and Convalescent Homes Commission MND: Minister of National Defence MOD: (British) Ministry of Defence MPCC: Military Police Complaints Commission NATO: North Atlantic Treaty Organization NDHQ: National Defence Headquarters NIMH: (United States) National Institute for Mental Health NVC: New Veterans Charter OSI: Operational Stress Injury OSISS: Operational Stress Injury Social Support OTSSC: Operational Trauma and Stress Support Centre PPCLI: Princess Patricia’s Canadian Light Infantry (Battalion numbers placed before, e.g. 2PPCLI) PSC: Peer Support Coordinator PTSD: Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder RCAMC: Royal Canadian Army Medical Corps RDC: Research Diagnostic Criteria SCONDVA: Standing Committee on National Defence and Veterans’ Affairs SISIP: Service Income Security Insurance Plan TLD: Third Location Decompression UN: United Nations UNAMIR: United Nations Assistance Mission for Rwanda UNEF: United Nations Emergency Force v UNPROFOR: United Nations Protection Force VA: (United States) Veterans Administration VAC: Veterans Affairs Canada VVAW: Vietnam Veterans Against the War vi TABLE OF CONTENTS PERMISSION TO USE i ABSTRACT ii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS iii LIST OF ABBREVIATIONS iv TABLE OF CONTENTS vii INTRODUCTION: TRAUMA, CULTURE, AND HISTORY 1 CHAPTER 1: A SHOCKING INTRODUCTION TO TRAUMA 34 CHAPTER 2: BATTLE EXHAUSTION AND MEDICAL MOVEMENTS 75 CHAPTER 3: VIETNAM, TRAUMA, AND RECOGNITION 115 CHAPTER 4: PEACEKEEPING, POLITICS, AND PERCEPTIONS 144 CHAPTER 5: BREAKING DOWN THE WALL 177 CHAPTER 6: NEW MILLENNIUM, NEW REFORMS, OLD PROBLEMS 227 CONCLUSION: ENDURING STRUGGLES AND ENDURING HOPE 275 BIBLIOGRAPHY 293 vii INTRODUCTION: TRAUMA, CULTURE, AND HISTORY Barry Westholm joined the Canadian Armed Forces (CAF) in 1982 in London, Ontario. Unlike numerous comrades, Westholm was not a “base brat” from a military family. Instead he deemed himself an “accidental soldier.”1 As a youth that got into “a fair bit of trouble,” the military helped him occupy his idle hands and satiate his need for adventure.2 He trained first at Canadian Forces Base (CFB) Cornwallis in Nova Scotia, and then CFB Borden in Ontario, ultimately finishing his apprenticeship training as a vehicle technician at CFB North Bay in Ontario in 1985.3 After completing his training, Westholm was stationed at Canadian Forces Europe in Lahr, West Germany, in 1987, where he remained for three years, giving him the opportunity to witness firsthand the fall of the Berlin Wall in November 1989. Although the Cold War was over by 1991, the 1990s brought no rest for the CAF, which saw its personnel committed to a number of peacekeeping missions around the world. In 1992 Westholm went on his first United Nations (UN) mission, to Cambodia as part of the United Nations Transitional Authority in Cambodia (UNTAC). While there he experienced the “sickly sweet smell of decaying bodies, garbage, excrement, [and] filth,” toured the killing fields of Pol Pot, and, on one occasion, had a rocket-propelled grenade pointed at the window of his

Through conducting an analysis of the Immigration Act, this paper exemplifies how, historically, Canada has had difficulty in regulating refugee migration into the country. The Immigration and Refugee Protection Act was implemented as a means of overhauling the Immigration Act, making for a more secure Canada.

  • Canada and the Middle East Today: Electoral Politics and Foreign Policy
    CANADA AND THE MIDDLE EAST TODAY: ELECTORAL POLITICS AND FOREIGN POLICY Donald Barry Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harper came to power in 2006 with little experience in foreign affairs but with a well developed plan to transform his minority Conservative administration into a majority government replacing the Liberals as Canada’s “natural governing party.”1 Because his party’s core of Anglo-Protestant supporters was not large enough to achieve this goal, Harper appealed to non- traditional Conservatives, including Jews, on the basis of shared social values. His efforts were matched by those of Jewish leaders and the government of Israel to win the backing of the government and its followers in the face of declining domestic support for Israel and the rise of militant Islamic fundamentalism. These factors accelerated a change in Canada’s Middle East policy that began under Prime Minister Paul Martin, from a carefully balanced stance to one that overwhelm- ingly favors Israel. Harper’s “pro-Israel politics,” Michelle Collins observes, has “won the respect—and support—of a large segment of Canada’s organized Jewish community.”2 However, it has isolated Canada from significant shifts in Middle East diplomacy and marginalized its ability to play a constructive role in the region. Harper and the Jewish Vote When he became leader of the Canadian Alliance party, which merged with the Progressive Conservatives to form the Conservative Party of Canada in 2004, Tom Flanagan says that Harper realized “The traditional Conservative base of Anglophone Protestants [was] too narrow to win modern Canadian elections.”3 In a speech to the conservative organization Civitas, in 2003, Harper argued that the only way to achieve power was to focus not on the tired wish list of economic conservatives or “neo-cons,” as they’d become known, but on what he called “theo-cons”—those social conservatives who care passionately about hot-button issues that turn on family, crime, and defense.

    “Man’s Redemption of Man”: Medical Authority and Faith Healers in North America, 1850 - 1930 Heather McIntyre Thesis submitted to the University of Ottawa in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of MA in History Department of History Faculty of Arts University of Ottawa © Heather McIntyre, Ottawa, Canada, 2020 ii ABSTRACT “Man’s Redemption of Man”: Medical Authority and Faith Healers in North America, 1850 – 1930 Heather McIntyre Supervisor: University of Ottawa, 2020 Heather Murray This thesis discusses the various rhetorical, logical, and legal methods the medical profession used to regulate faith healing in North America. In so doing, it illuminates larger questions about the place of religion and authority over the body in modernity. It uses a source base of medical journals, legal documents, and church records to illustrate how doctors positioned themselves as the rational and godly choice for sick people. While faith healing was originally one of many “cures” and kinds of medicine available to North Americans during the 19th century, the medical field rapidly professionalized and supported laws requiring anyone claiming to practice medicine to adhere to one form of scientifically- based medicine. To support this change, physicians used the category of “quackery,” which implies backwardness and superstition, to illustrate the hazards of faith healing and other alternative medicines. Later, the rise of psychology in the 1890s reshaped physicians’ view of faith healing, and they came to explain its claims of success by arguing that “suggestion,” or messages to a person’s unconscious beliefs, can cure particular (gendered) kinds of mental illnesses. Doctors and clergy became curious about the safe use of suggestion, and embarked on experiments like the Emmanuel Movement.

  • Canadian Forces Transformation: Institutional Leadership As a Catalyst for Change
    MICHAEL K. J LIEUTENANT-GENERAL (RETIRED) MICHAEL K. JEFFERY The 1990s proved to be a turbulent period for the Canadian Forces (CF). The early years of the new millennium were equally as challenging, as the CF EFFERY was engaged in operations in Afghanistan and around the globe. What was clear was that the contemporary security environment had changed. As such, there was a requirement for the CF to transform to meet the new operating environment. I NSIDE INSIDE In 2005, the Minister of National Defence provided the incoming Chief of the Defence Staff, General Rick Hillier, with the resources and opportunity to CANADIAN FORCES undertake a CF Transformation. Given his firm belief that the CF needed to C ANADIAN FORCES change, and by nature a risk taker, General Hillier embraced the opportunity. TRANSFORMATION: This book describes the initial years of the formal CF Transformation that was led by General Hillier. It is a superb case study of a seminal point in CF history. INSTITUTIONAL LEADERSHIP AS A CATALYST FOR CHANGE Written by former Chief of the Land Staff, Lieutenant-General Michael Jeffery, who himself implemented a strategy of change for the Canadian army and who witnessed first-hand the process of CF Transformation, it captures both the considerable success, but also the difficulties of the process.
