THE
SOCIETY OF CLINICAL PSYCHIATRISTS
(Chairman Dr
Michael T Haslam MA MD FRCP FRCPsych)
Was founded
in 1958 and is an independent group, in a sense complementary
to the Royal College of Psychiatrists. Its informality is
its strength and, being a non-official body, it can express
the views of senior psychiatrists more freely.
The Society
invites the membership of progressive, creative psychiatrists,
who seek a forum for the advancement of the speciality. The
strength of its overseas membership suggests that the wider
psychiatric world is keenly interested in Britain's contribution
to our developing area of medical practice.
Study Groups
of the S.C.P. examine issues of topical interest, with the
aims of reflecting and influencing psychiatric opinion. Study
Group Reports are received by all members.
Meetings of
the Executive Committee are held every two months, either
in London or in other British centres. The agenda and minutes
are sent to all members, who are encouraged to attend.
The Society
produces the British Journal of Clinical & Social Psychiatry.
Copies of S.C.P. Reports are available from
Dr M P K Twomey,
Hon. Secretary,
Keepers Cottage,
Barrock Place, Southwaite,
Carlisle CA4
0JS.
