Excerpt from Canadian Journal of Mental Hygiene, Vol. 3: October, 1921 Of this very important scientific organization. This is a flattering testimonial which I feel more profoundly than I can express. Looking back over the year that has passed I can but feel that already the Association has been productive of results lasting in their benefit to science and to the community. It has stimulated, possibly more than we can appreciate at the moment, study and research; in creased our store Of knowledge in the broad and important field of Neuro-psychiatry; and above all I think it has profoundly impressed the younger members Of the Association with the beauty and nobility of the labour in which they are engaged. It has created in them an instinct for the work, cultivating the spirit Of research and discovery to a degree that will not perish nor pass from the land. In opening this, the second term of my presidency, I wish to say a word or two on a subject Of rare interest. To the medical profession and to the public at large. Possibly it is well that the discussion of this important matter should find its origin in the ranks Of the Neuro psychiatric Association, for, after all, it is with the psychic element that the subject finds its importance. I am referring to the present day aspect Of Canadian Medical Jurisprudence. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Canada has long been recognized as a leader in the field of psychiatric epidemiology, the study of the factors affecting mental health in populations. However, there has never been a book dedicated to the study of mental disorder at a population level in Canada. This collection of essays by leading scholars in the discipline uses data from the country's first national survey of mental disorder, the Canadian Community Health Survey of 2005, to fill that gap. Mental Disorder in Canada explores the history of psychiatric epidemiology, evaluates methodological issues, and analyzes the prevalence of several significant mental disorders in the population. The collection also includes essays on stigma, mental disorder and the criminal justice system, and mental health among women, children, workers, and other demographic groups. Focusing specifically on Canadian scholarship, yet wide-reaching in scope, Mental Disorder in Canada is an important contribution to the dissemination and advancement of knowledge on psychiatric epidemiology.
