Most who open the cover will be professionals in one of the many aspects of mental health. A moment's thought tells us, however, that if there is a distinction between laymen and professionals it makes no difference to a book like this. Both laymen and professionals care about what will be. That is why this book, the Congress it reports and the World Federation for Mental Health itself can be meaningful to both laymen and professional people. A look into the 80's from the point of view of mental health, cultural values and social development is for all who care about the future. The 1981 Manila Congress of the World Federation for Mental Health was a unique and special gathering. It was the first time the Federation assembled for a Congress in a developing country. In the Philippines we enjoyed the over whelming hospitality and charm of the people and a place where past and future seem as important as the present. All who attended from outside those magic islands will always remember the occasion as a special life experience. For those of you who did attend, this book can revive the stimulation and satisfaction of the Congress. For those of you who did not share the Manila experience, this book can inform and interest you about matters which are important. To Chief Justice Roberto Concepcion, Judge Eduardo Tutaan, Mrs. Edita Martillano, Professor Charlotte Floro, Judge Oscar Inocentes, Judge Regina Ordonez-Benitez, Mrs. Flor Castelo, Professor Virginia Agbayani, Mrs. Juliet Luat, Dr. Romualdo Anselmo, Dr. Concordia Pascual, Justice Corazon Agrava, Attorney Rosalinda Sebastian-Lohla, Dr. Erlinda Lolarga, Director Gregorio Cendana, Commissioner Godofredo Asuncion, Dr. Artemio Cabrera, Attorney Salutario Fernandez, Mr. Leonides Valdez and all the others in charge of local arrangements, the World Federation for Mental Health will always be indebted. I know it is the sincere hope of all of us who came to you from abroad that somewhere, somehow we will be able to repay at least in part the kindness you showed to us. To our own Organizing Committee members and particularly my predecessor in office Dr. Tsung-yi Lin, the Executive Director during my term Mrs. Roberta Beiser, Dr. Lourdes Ladrido-Ignacio and Dr. Morton Beiser, the Chairpersons of our Program Committee and to Drs. Nann, Butt and Ignacio as Co-Editors of these Proceedings, I owe a special debt of gratitude. I want to express the appre ciation of all who benefitted from the Congress they planned, produced and epilogued. I cannot conclude without thanking the President of the Philippines and Mrs. Marcos for their sponsorship of our Congress. The First Lady entertained us with Richard C. Nann, Dorcas Susan Butt, and Lourdes Ladrido-lgnacio (eds.), Mental Health, Cultural Values and Social Development, v-vi. © 1984 by D. Reidel Publishing Company. vi FOREWORD warmth. The President in his keynote address reminded us that mental health is often a product of social, cultural and economic conditions. To both of them I express my personal appreciation. When you read this book and consider the ideas in it, whether for the first time or as a reminder of your thoughts in Manila, remember there is much evidence today to confirm the feeling many of us had in Manila that we are living in a time when the world is changing faster and the future is less clear than at any time since our Federation was founded in 1949. When the future is unclear it is a time of unusual opportunity. It is more relevant at such a time to build than tear down. It is more important to create than to regret or resent. I hope you will feel when you read these proceedings that the future was indeed the focus of the Manila meeting. I hope you will be inspired to join with others in the World Federation for Mental Health to make the future a priority for mental health as they look into the eighties. Vancouver, B.C. GOWAN T.
