Clarence Bynold Farrar, SM (November 27, 1874 – June 3, 1970) was an influential psychiatrist, the first Director of the Toronto Psychiatric Hospital (succeeded in 1966 by the Clarke Institute), and editor of The American Journal of Psychiatry for 34 years.
As a chief psychiatrist for the Canadian Army, Captain Farrar researched psychiatric cases of soldiers with shell shock and published his findings with Charles Kirk Clarke.
Farrar worked at various times as an assistant physician and director of laboratories at Sheppard and Enoch Pratt Hospital, associate in psychiatry at the Johns Hopkins Medical School, assistant physician at Trenton State Hospital, lecturer in abnormal psychology at Princeton University, head of Homewood Sanitarium in Guelph, medical director of Toronto Psychiatric Hospital and the head of the department of psychiatry at the University of Toronto. Farrar retired as professor emeritus in 1947 from the University of Toronto.
Some of Farrar's archives can be found at the Osler Library of History of Medicine, McGill University.[5] A much larger collection of his archives are held at the University of Toronto Archives and Records Management Services.[6]
