International Psychiatry is produced by the College to
provide useful information and links in global mental health. It
provides an overview of current policy and practice in psychiatry
in different countries and will help all mental health
professionals to learn about and keep abreast of what is happening
elsewhere. Original and scientific articles deal with the policy
and promotion of mental health, the administration and management
of mental health services, and worldwide training in
psychiatry.
“With this improved communication comes an awareness of the
commonality of many mental health issues and the recognition that
there is much to learn from others working in very diverse
environments. …Increasingly we need to have a better understanding
of other cultures and the relationship between culture, mental
health and psychiatric disorder.”
Professor Hamid Ghodse, Former Director of the College's
Board of International Affairs
