PHARMACOTHERAPY AND PSYCHOTHERAPY

STAT E M E N T O F PUR POSE

THE GROUP FOR THE ADVANCEMENT OF PSYCHIATRY has a

membership of approximately 300 psychiatrists, most of whom are organized in the form of a number of working committees. These committees direct their efforts toward the study of various aspects of psychiatry and the application of this knowledge to the fields of mental health and human relations. Collaboration with specialists in other disciplines has been and is one of GA P's working principles. Since the formation of GAP in 1 946 its members have worked closely with such other specialists as anthropologists, biologists, economists, statisticians, educators, lawyers, nurses, psychologists, sociologists, social workers, and experts in mass communication, philosophy, and semantics. GAP envisages a continuing program of work according to the following aims:

1. 2. 3. To collect and appraise significant data in the fields of psychiatry, mental health,· and human relations To reevaluate old concepts and to develop and test new ones To apply the knowledge thus obtained for the promotion of mental health and good human relations

GAP is an independent group, and irs reports represent rhe composite findings and opinions of its members only, guided by its many consultants.
