Renowned psychiatrist George Vaillant developed an ongoing longitudinal study of adult development which he documented in his book Adapation to Life (1977). His son, John Vaillant, in his 2023 National-Book-award-nominated Fire Weather - A True Story from a Hotter World explores the story of the apocalyptic Fort McMurray, Alberta, wildfire and illustrates how humans are failing to respond or adapt to climate change despite its negative impact on all aspects of our lives. This journal club session will focus on the mental health implications of wildfires by reading "The firestorm within: A narrative review of extreme heat and wildfire smoke effects on brain health" (2024) by Anthony R. White. Vaillant's book chapter is a pre-reading for those who are interested. This book club will be led by Sandra DeJong, MD.
