Scope and content

Series consists of records relating to Dr. Rakoff’s trips, conferences and talks. Files primarily include the texts of Dr. Rakoff’s lectures. One file includes news coverage of the 1970 Couchiching conference on “Love and the Establishment.” Another file includes the full transcript of a debate sponsored by the residents in psychiatry at McGill University on whether or not “psychiatry is an agent of the establishment,” at which Dr. Rakoff made extensive comments during the question period. One file relates to a trip to China in 2004, and includes correspondence and background research on suicide rates in China.

Files from B2019-0027 and B2021-0018 include a journal from a trip to China in 1981, further texts of Dr. Rakoff’s talks, and the transcript of an appearance on CBC Television’s The Magazine segment Viewpoint, where he discusses Sigmund Freud.
