World Psychiatric Association (WPA) International Congress 2016
In-Person Event
Nov 18 - 22, 2016
Cape Town, Western Cape, ZASpeakers
OVERVIEW
World Psychiatric Association (WPA) International Congress 2016 is organized by World Psychiatric Association (WPA) and would be held during Nov 18 - 22, 2016 at Cape Town International Convention Centre (CTICC) - Cape Town, Western Cape, South Africa.
With the recent death of Nelson Mandela in December 2013, there was a fairly general realization in South Africa, and elsewhere, that reconciliation, transformation and integration of our communities and of this clinical practice, have not been completed or, in some instances, not even undertaken yet. The theme of this congress will therefore be "Psychiatry: Integrative Care for the Community” and will explore concepts, controversies and consequences of Psychiatry's responsibility and accountability to society in terms of its scope of practice and of what can be considered as Psychiatry’s social contract.
The congress will consider how to integrate the developing scope of current psychiatric practice with emphasis on illness prevention, health promotion, clinical care, as well as rehabilitative interventions over the course of people's life time. The congress will deliberate on the expanding systems required for all four dimensions of care to be integrated, including: Psychiatry’s core neuroscience content and evidence-base for clinical care (biological); established psychotherapeutic process (psychological) and active social involvement (social); undertaken within particular cultural, religious and spiritual contexts (spiritual).
In the process, the question of what aspects of psychiatric care and practice require further integration will be posed to member associations and delegates from the 18 different WPA Zones, as well as to the more than 65 different Sections focusing on different interests within the WPA.
Price: Delegate Rates Start From: ZAR 4000
Speakers: Henry Markram, Dinesh Bhugra, Helen Herrman, Maria Oquendo, Vikram Patel, Francis Nyamnjoh, John Peteet, Olayinka Omigbodun, Linda Lam, Florence Baingana, Graham Thornicroft, Roy Kallivayalil
