Additionally, neuropsychiatry aims to prevent or reduce the suffering of individuals with the psychiatric symptoms of cerebral disorders. The International Organization of Neuropsychiatry (ION), the forerunner of the current association, was established in Seville in 1996 and was reorganized as the International Neuropsychiatric Association (INA) in Toronto in 1998. Since then, it has continued to provide a forum for exchanging knowledge acquired by scientific activities in the field to accomplish the purposes of the association. Toward that end, international congresses have been held every 2 years in cities around the world: Seville (1996), Toronto (1998), Kyoto (2000), Buenos Aires (2002), Athens (2004), Sydney (2006), and Cancun (2008). In addition to the international congresses, regional congresses of neuropsychiatry have been organized regularly in Europe and Latin America. All the meetings have been successful and fruitful in stimulating progress in neuropsychiatry. As one of the results of the meetings, the monograph Contemporary Neuropsychiatry was published by Springer Japan in 2001. This present monograph consists of papers from the Kobe Conference of the International Neuropsychiatric Association, which was held by the International Neuropsychiatric Association in collaboration with the Jinmeikai Foundation and the Japan Neuropsychiatric Association in Kobe, September 12–13, 2009. The meeting was originally planned to be a semi-closed workshop for the publication of this monograph in neuropsychiatry. Because the meeting was organized to be held between two international congresses of neuropsychiatry – the 7th INA Congress in Cancun (2008) and the 8th INA Congress in Chennai (2011) – it was planned so as to concentrate on rather limited areas of neuropsychiatry, namely, the clinical aspects of neuropsychiatric disorders. As the editors, we are confident that this publication will stimulate further progress and research in neuropsychiatry in all parts of the world. We express our heartfelt gratitude for the contributions by all the authors who attended the meeting and sub- mitted papers. We are very pleased to have received their excellent work in neurop- sychiatry for this publication. We express our special appreciation to Dr. Perminder Sachdev, who allowed us to publish “The Core Curriculum of Neuropsychiatry,” v vi Preface which originally appeared on the website of the International Neuropsychiatric Association in 2004, for standardizing the guidelines of training in neuropsychiatry.
