PREFACE
Norman Sartorius, President of the W A
Driss Moussaoui, Secretary for Meetings of the W A
The motto of the Xth World Congress of Psychiatry in
Madrid One World, One Language was chosen in recognition
of the need to bring together psychiatrists living in different
countries and belonging to different schools of thought, and
to facilitate their contacts and collaboration. The Congress
was successful in that it provided opportunities to renew
friendships, to learn from experience and research done
elsewhere and to create bridges and collaborative arrange-
ments where these never existed before. It also demonstra-
ted that the improvement of communication among
psychiatrists is a task of highest priority. This is so for
various reasons-including economic pressures on health
care systems, the rapid growth of knowledge, the increase
of the numbers of mental health professionals-all of which
require consensus within the profession and a common
stance in promoting the care for people with mental illness
and research in the field of mental health and disease.
It thus became obvious that activities that promote com-
munication among mental health professionals, and are

likely to increase their respect for each other so that they
can work together, will have to be among top priorities for
the World Psychiatric Association in the ensuing years. This
goal was then pursued through a variety of means: by
increasing the numbers of Member Societies, now 114 in
96 countries, by developing educational programmes, by an
extensive programme of publications now including seven
international journals and other activities. The programme
of scientific and professional psychiatric meetings and
congresses was also significantly expanded-in the period
1996-1999, the WPA has organised or co-sponsored 50 inter-
national meetings and congresses varying in size from a few
hundreds to several thousand participants. The scientific
sections of the W A h ave also made a major contribution
to this effort through the publication of newsletters, sec-
tion meetings and joint development of educational pro-
grammes. In order to proceed in a more comprehensive and
faster way in this work the WPA has established partnership
with other NGO’s, with scientific institutions and with
representatives of the health industries. In this respect, a
particularly valuable contribution of WPA’s work have
been donations notably from SynthClabo who supported
WA’s project of strengthening psychiatric libraries in
developing countries: with the help of this donation, li-
braries in 22 countries worldwide were equipped with com-
puter facilities, access to Internet and subscriptions to
technical journals.
In the course of these activities, it became obvious that
language barriers do not only represent difficulties in travel
and daily living, but that they also affect the utilisation of
knowledge published in only one language. The rich tradi-
tions of psychiatry and the wealth of ideas available to those
conversant with the language of their producers remain
hidden to others or, worse still, reach them distorted
through incomplete or incorrect citation. It was therefore
most encouraging to receive support from SynthClabo en-
abling the WPA to bring out the first of the series of
