The Toronto Affair
In 1999, the British citizen Dr. David Healy had been actively recruited for a position in the Department of Psychiatry and the Centre for Addiction and Mental Health (CAMH) in Toronto. He was brought in for a three-day visit to CAMH and the Department in July. Following his visit, Dr. Paul Garfinkel, Chair of the University's Department of Psychiatry, wrote him a congratulatory letter.
On January 28, 2000 Dr. Sidney Kennedy, Professor or Psychiatry and Head, Mood & Anxiety Division, CAMH, wrote to Healy discussing details of an offer to be appointed a Professor of Psychiatry at the University of Toronto and Clinical Director for the Mood and Anxiety Disorders Program at CAMH. Kennedy concluded: "I am extremely enthusiastic about your interest in this position and I believe that you will bring an important line of critical inquiry and clinical research acumen to this department".
On August 17, 2000 Dr. David Goldbloom, Physician-in-Chief at CAMH and Professor of Psychiatry at University of Toronto, and Georgina Veldhorst, Vice-President, Mental Health Programs, CAMH, wrote to Healy to offer him formally the position of Clinical Director, Mood and Anxiety Disorders Program, CAMH.
