Morality, Mental Illness and the Prevention of Suicide
Since the middle of the 20th century, suicidology, as a group of disciplines working to understand and prevent suicide, has reinforced the long-held view that suicide is caused first and foremost by mental illness. Yet, the record of the last two centuries demonstrates the difficulty in identifying the risks and in reducing the incidence of suicide despite persistent reliance on psychosocial means. In order to understand the reasons for this outc…

The Woman Who Walked into the Sea
Alice Wexler's new book, The Woman Who Walked into the Sea: Huntington's and the Making of Genetic Disease, builds on her memoir Mapping Fate (Berkeley: University of California Press, 1995), which blended the histories of her family and Huntington's Disease research. That study drew on bioethics, women's studies, and psychoanalysis while illustrating the value of interdisciplinary collaboration. The Woman Who Walked into the Sea can also be read…

The Other War on Drugs
Over the past decade, evidence-based medicine (EBM) has become the standard for medical practice.1 Evidence-based practices have been established in general medicine and specialized fields; new evidence-based journals have been launched.2 Although its roots can be found in mid-nineteenth-century medical philosophy, contemporary EBM was largely developed by the clinical epidemiology program at McMaster University in 1992.3 According to the McMaste…
Taking Biology Seriously
Despite more than a century of attempts to control the use of addictive substances, prevalence rates continue to grow for most of them. Exceptions are alcohol and tobacco use, which, nevertheless, remain major public health concerns. Why have these attempts at drug control had little success? This question is addressed in the histories of substance use that are examined in this essay. While these studies show that there are multiple histories, de…
Kushner and Sterk Respond
We thank Carpiano and Kelly for restating, albeit in their own words, some of the arguments we made. We are, however, a bit perplexed by the concerns they raise. We did not dispute that Durkheim constructed the categories of altruism and fatalism. Rather, we demonstrated that, given Durkheim’s typology, he misclassified military suicides as altruistic and trivialized women’s suicidal behavior. He could have used his data on military suicide to re…
The Limits of Social Capital
Recent applications of social capital theories to population health often draw on classic sociological theories for validation of the protective features of social cohesion and social integration. Durkheim's work on suicide has been cited as evidence that modern life disrupts social cohesion and results in a greater risk of morbidity and mortality-including self-destructive behaviors and suicide. We argue that a close reading of Durkheim's eviden…
The Narratives of Kawasaki Disease
Kawasaki disease is a rash/fever illness of early childhood in which coronary artery aneurysms (CAA), sometimes fatal, may develop in up to 25 percent of untreated children. Because its etiology and pathophysiology are unknown and no diagnostic laboratory test exists, diagnosis is made via a list of clinical signs; however, a significant number of children fail to meet the clinical criteria and go on to develop CAA. We suspected a connection betw…
What's Wrong with Addiction? (review)
Autism in History
This study examines the odd behavior of an eighteenth-century aristocrat as a vehicle for addressing the question of whether autism is a new disorder or an older illness that was classified under then-existing categories. The authors, a respected early modern historian and a premiere cognitive neuroscientist, conclude that the syndrome we today call autism existed in eighteenth-century Britain and Europe and, by implication, long before. They bel…
Concepts of Alzheimer Disease
The majority of essays that make up this extremely useful and informative collection are the result of a 1997 symposium held in Alois Alzheimer's birthplace in Marktbreit, Germany. Although parts of this book trace material familiar to specialists in each area examined, the volume as a whole provides a comprehensive overview of Alzheimer disease (AD) that is valuable for generalists as well as for historians of medicine. The book is divided into …

The Persistence of the "Frontier Thesis" in America
In 1893, the United States experienced the worst economic depression in its history. The depression was accompanied by a series of violent workers' strikes, a march on Washington by Civil War veterans, the growth of a national labour movement, and massive immigration of non-English speak- ing, non-Protestant, southern and eastern Europeans. To many commen- tators it seemed as if American society was splitting apart, about to explode
