q       WELCOME : Invitation from the Congress President

‘5000 Years of Science and Care -Building the Future of Psychiatry’: the 13th World Congress of Psychiatry

      The 13th World Congress of Psychiatry will take place in Cairo,Egypt from 10 to 15 September, 2005. This is the first time in the history of the WPA that an African and Arab country hosts the World Congress.
From Egypt came the first calendar, the earliest script, the oldest known love song, the first decorated stone monumental building and the tallest tomb. Egypt also has the oldest university in the world (the Islamic University of Al Azhar). It is home to five World Heritage sites: Memphis, capital of the Old Kingdom, with its associated necropolis; the modern city of Luxor with its temples and tombs; all of the Nubian temples from Abu Simbel to Philae; the early Christian pilgrimage center of Abu Mina, and the ancient Islamic quarter of Cairo. Ancient Egyptians knew mental disorders 5,000 years ago. In spite of the mystical beliefs, psychiatric patients were cared for and treated, as were those with physical ailments. In the country that has given birth to the foundations of civilization, we shall organize our World Congress of Psychiatry in 2005 around the theme ‘5,000 Years of Science and Care – Building the Future of Psychiatry’, thus discussing the old and the new with a view on future progress. World Congresses of Psychiatry are held to examine the worldwide status and future directions of psychiatry; increase worldwide exchanges of information among psychiatrists and between psychiatrists and other mental health professionals, as well as patients and their families; improve educational and quality of care standards by providing up-to-date informational and skills development opportunities on important and timely topics, including the presentation of WPA educational programs and other activities; support and stimulate collaborative research in the biological, psychological and social sciences relevant to psychiatry and mental health; strengthen links among WPA Member Societies and Affiliated Associations; make psychiatry more visible at the regional and international levels, as well as promote the institutional effectiveness and international standing of the host Society, and facilitate the exercise of WPA organizational functions through General Assemblies and other business meetings, in a context where diverse cultures have the chance to interact, learn from and about each other. The Cairo Congress will discuss the state of the art as regards all the complexities of today’s psychiatry, through addressing a multiplicity of issues such as human development; biological psychiatry and neurosciences; social and cultural psychiatry; psychiatry in Africa and other developing regions; epidemiology and public health; diagnostic systems; dementia and related cognitive disorders; substance abuse and dependence; schizophrenia and related disor- ders; mood disorders; anxiety, stress and adjustment disorders; dissociative and somatization disorders; eating, sexual and sleep disorders; personality disorders and accentuated personality; child and adolescent mental and behavioral disorders; suicide and other dangerous behaviors; HIV and psychiatry; primary care and mental health; pharmacotherapies; psychotherapies; sociotherapies; prevention and health promotion; ethics, law, human rights and mental health; mental health economics and services research. Several symposia with contributions from all the 55 WPA scientific sections will be organized, as well as special, regular and industry-supported symposia, panels, workshops, seminars, meet-theexpert sessions, forums, debates and posters from East and West, North and South, developed and developing countries, in addition to video teleconferences, new book and journal presentations, new research paper sessions and free oral communications. For the first time in a World Congress, master clinical case conferences will be held with worldwide  pioneers in clinical psychiatry, where the opportunity for active participation and intervention of the audience will be available. In fact, over 90% of the participants in the Congress will be clinicians, who need to return home with a matrix for upgrading knowledge and skills, renewing professional and personal relations and establishing new ones. Emphasis on partnership as a vital element of our profession will be the focus of attention, including partnership among mental health professionals, and between them and consumers on the one hand and policy makers on the other, and also the partnership between developed and developing countries. For further details on the Congress and deadlines for submission of contributions, please visit the website www.wpa-cairo2005.com. The four plenary lectures will be delivered by the WPA President and President Elect, the Egyptian 1999 Nobel laureate in Chemistry Ahmed Zewail, and the winner of the Jean Delay Prize 2005 (this is the Nobel Prize of the WPA, usually awarded to neuroscientists of high caliber, most probably from developed countries). For the first time in a World Congress of Psychiatry, a special
award for two young scientists in developing countries will be presented: the WPA Okasha Award (see the WPA News in this issue of World Psychiatry for further information). The 13th World Congress of Psychiatry will attempt to translate scientific advances into a better care for mental patients, reflecting the essence of our theme ‘5000 Years of Science and Care – Building the Future of Psychiatry’. You are welcome in Egypt to enjoy the recent developments in our profession, while hosted by a country which is the cradle of civilization.

Prof. Ahmed Okasha 
President of XIII World Congress of Psychiatry

q       Congress logo

The congress logo represents Wedjat - eye - which is the left eye of Horus injured by his evil uncle Seth which was treated by the god Thot , the god of medicine and science ( the logo of the Egyptian Psychiatric Association). This eye represents care and protection and is the origin of the sign the symbol of medical prescriptions .

The stars on top are those which decorate the feminine body of "NUT" who personalize the vault of heaven. Her body binds over the earth touching the eastern and western horizons with her hands and feet.
