Des frontières culturelles en santé mentale au Canada ? Entre psychiatrie, démographie et sociologie, retour sur les études de H.B.M. Murphy en épidémiologie
|
| Abstract |
The author explores the development of psychiatric epidemiology, an emerging academic field during the post-war period, in the context of ecological and environmental studies. The sources used by the author document the works of H.B.M. Murphy (1915-1987), a Scottish-born physician recruited by McGill University in 1959 to teach and undertake epidemiologic research in the newly formed transcultural psychiatry unit led by Eric Wittkower (1899-1983). She notes that Murphy’s break with traditional analysis of hospital statistics to focus on a small number of communities would lead him to confront the question of minorities and Franco-Canadian identity when interpreting his results.
