GoingToMeet

In 1989, under the auspices of the Spanish Association of Neuropsychiatry, the city was the setting for a regional symposium of the World Association of Psychiatry on new developments in community psychiatry. Ten years later, in 1999, the MARISTÁN Network, the Collaborating Centre of the WHO in Andalusia and the Andalusian Foundation for the Social Integration of the Mentally Ill organised a WPA thematic conference on the community treatment of people with psychotic disorders. Now in its third decade of research activity, the Andalusian Group for Research in Mental Health, in collaboration with the Spanish Society of Psychiatry and the Spanish Society of Family and Community Medicine, and co-sponsored by WONCA-Europe, is organizing a further WPA thematic conference for the 18th to 21st of June 2008. This meeting will focus on depression and related disorders in primary care.
