Dear Friends and Colleagues,
We are greatly honored to cordially invite you to attend and participate in the World Psychiatric Association (WPA) International Congress which will be held in Beijing, China from 1 to 5 September, 2010, hosted by the Capital Medical University (CMU) and the Chinese Society of Psychiatry (CSP).
The theme of the Congress will be "Global psychiatry at the frontier: sharing the future".
The International Congress in Beijing will be sponsored by the WPA, which aims to encourage the highest possible standards of clinical practice, to increase knowledge and skills about mental disorders and how they can be prevented and treated, to promote mental health, to promote the highest possible ethical standards in psychiatric work, to disseminate knowledge about evidence-based therapies and values-based practice, to be a voice for the dignity and rights of the patients and their families, and to uphold the rights of psychiatrists and to facilitate communication and assistance especially to psychiatric societies which are isolated or whose members work in impoverished circumstances. Currently, the WPA has 134 member societies from 116 different countries, representing over 200,000 psychiatrists worldwide. The WPA has 65 scientific sections, whose mission is to spread knowledge in the field of psychiatry and promote academic communication and collaboration.
We will invite internationally renowned experts in the field of psychiatry and mental health to give plenary and keynote lectures as well as symposia and workshops representing different fields of psychiatry and related disciplines.
The Congress will be held in the Capital of China—Beijing, the host of the 2008 Olympics, well-known worldwide as a historical and cultural city.
We hope that you will be able to join us during the golden autumn of 2010 in Beijing, China to attend and participate in the scientific programme as well as visiting the world cultural heritage during or after the Congress, like the Forbidden City, the Great Wall, the Summer Palace and the Ming Tombs as well as many other attractions.
