Series S0005 - Research and scholarly activities

2.89 m of textual and graphic records, 144 drawings : b&w and col., crayon, pastel, water color and pen and ink ; 22 x 35 cm or smaller and 12 photographs : b&w ; 16 x 20 cm or smaller.

The Series consists of records that reflect the breadth and depth of Dr. Lewis’ research interests and activities. His early interests included the investigation into Little Men or Lilliuputian hallucinations and the effects of Lysergic acid diethylamide (LSD) therapy. He also conducted research related to his administrative activities, particularly research to enhance and improve practice at the Affective Disorders Clinic. His later studies into chronic fatigue syndrome and psycho immune responses reflect his on-going evaluation of cause and effect in psychiatric practice. Lewis’s career brought him into contact with several of the pioneers of Canadian psychiatry; he later became interested in chronicling the lives of Robert Cleghorn and Donald Cameron.
