Here is a link to a 1999 presentation on the subject:

The following presentation was given at a symposium, "War on the Mind: Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder," sponsored by the Canadian War Museum in June 1999. Participating were Dr Marvin Lange, psychiatrist at the Royal Ottawa Hospital; Dr Randall Boddam, CF Senior Psychiatrist; Professor Donna Winslow, University of Ottawa; and the author, Dr Bill McAndrew.

Bill McAndrew also co-authored a book on the subject a few years ago:

Battle Exhaustion: Soldiers and Psychiatrists in the Canadian Army, 1939-45
By Terry Copp and Dr. Bill McAndrew
Published: August 1990
Dimensions: 280 Pages, 6 x 9 IN
ISBN: 0773507744 · Published by McGill-Queen's University Press

From the Publisher
Copp and McAndrew examine the behavior of soldiers under the extreme stress of war and the medical and military attempts to manage this behavior. Unlike previous studies, this one is based essentially on primary sources and includes sufficient comparative material to establish its applicability to studies of the British, American, and other armies.
