Dear Colleagues and Friends,
It has been a pleasure and an honour to have 1,300 participants from 76 countries attending the 20th World Congress of Social Psychiatry that was held in Marrakech from 23 to 27 October 2021. The quality of the scientific presentations and the excellent cultural programme have been very much apprciated. I receive daily e-mails saying how much the participants were happy with the Congress.
The picture gallery in this website is for you to remember the various phases of the scientific event and the gala dinner. You can download freely the photos.
A new Executive Committee of the WASP has been elected in Marrakech: Professor Thomas Craig from London, UK as president-elect, Professor Roy Abraham Kallivayalil from India as secretary general and Professor Michaela Amering from Vienna, Austria as secretary for Finances. We will work hard to push forward the good cause of Social Psychiatry. Among other things, we will establish scientific sections and we will have at least 3 regional congresses in 3 years. All those interested in joining the efforts of the WASP are most welcome. You only need to express your interest by writing to me at this e-mail address: [email protected]
I do hope that you will join us in Lisbon, Portugal for the 21st World Congress of Social Psychiatry from 29th of June to the 2nd of July 2013. The theme of the Congress will be: "The Bio-Psycho-Social Model: The Future of Psychiatry".
Professor Driss Moussaoui
President, World Association for Social Psychiatry
