The Clarke Institute of Psychiatry was a psychiatric hospital in Toronto, Ontario. Much of their work focused on forensic psychology, sex addiction, drug addiction, and research designed to shape public policy. It was named after Charles Kirk Clarke, a pioneer in mental health in Canada.
In 1998, the Clarke Institute merged with several other Ontario institutions to form the Centre for Addiction and Mental Health (CAMH), and the facility is now called the CAMH College St. Site.
Being the home of Ray Blanchard and several associates, the CIP and its successor CAMH have been accused several times by persons in the transgender community, [1] including accusations of unethical behaviour, poor customer service, and the application of questionable techniques to transsexual and transgender persons more commonly associated with the treatment of sex offenders. Some of the people associated with the CIP, including Blanchard, have been accused of supporting eugenics. The site is also home to the Kurt Freund Phallometric Laboratory.
