Sang de belette et cervelle de corbeau : la médicalisation de la folie au Québec, 1600-1850
Abstract
Like most areas of health that interested medicine in the nineteenth century, it was almost without opposition that insanity was to become a new medical specialty in Quebec during that century. The author sheds light on the dynamics that allowed doctors in Quebec since the seventeenth century to share their point of view with the general public on the existential causes of madness so that, by the early nineteenth century, the eminent doctors in Quebec (Joseph Morin, James Douglas, and James Fisher, as well as Marsden, Arnoldi, Longmore, Shelby, Robertson, Crawford, Thresler, Stephenson), most of whom trained in Great Britain, introduced the lucrative English lunacy trade in the colony.
