May 16, 2009 Dear Colleagues and Guests: A warm welcome to San Francisco and the 162nd Annual Meeting of the American Psychiatric Association, the largest psychiatric meeting in the world. Our city and our meeting are full of exciting opportunities for you. Experts in every subspecialty and on every current psychiatric issue will present hundreds of educational sessions. You can catch up with old friends and meet new ones from every corner of the globe. My meeting theme is “Shaping Our Future: Science and Service.” At this moment in history, we enjoy an explosion of useful knowledge about the brain and the psyche, about prevention, diagnosis, and treatment. At the same time, the world is struggling with an economic crisis and escalating health care costs. It is time for us to play an active role in shaping the future of our science and our clinical care. At this meeting, you can acquire the tools you need to shape our future. World famous scientists will present their latest research, with multiple opportunities for small group discussions with senior clinicians and educators. Sessions address subspecialties including geriatric , child and adolescent, addiction, forensic, and consultation liaison psychiatry. There are workshops and symposia on issues such as mental health care for returning military, college mental health, practical psychopharmacology, new directions in psychotherapy, electronic health records, ethics, and nearly any topic you can mention. You can test yourselves at the “Focus: Live” sessions or watch “Mind Games,” a Jeopardy-like contest for residents. Take some time at the outset to go through the program and plan your stay. Make time to enjoy the mild weather, beautiful vistas, colorful buildings, interesting museums, varied shops, and superb restaurants of San Francisco. Please join me at the Opening Session Sunday from 5:00 p.m.–6:30 p.m., when we offi cially welcome world leaders and all attendees, and plan to attend the Convocation of Distinguished Fellows Monday at 5:30 pm, when we will honor colleagues being inducted as Fellows, and the APA award winners. Do not miss Dr. Atul Gawande of Harvard Medical School, MacArthur ‘genius grant’ recipient, author of prize-winning books including “Better,” groundbreaking thinker about the scientifi c and humanistic improvement of care, and outstanding speaker, who will present the William C. Menninger Memorial Lecture at the Convocation. My thanks to Josepha Cheong, MD, Chair, and members of the Scientifi c Program Committee, and to APA staff members Deborah Hales, MD, and Cathy Nash, and their teams, for the rich content and the complex logistics of this enormous meeting. Please contact any member of the staff if you have problems or questions. And, again, and most importantly, welcome. Sincerely, Nada L. Stotland, MD, MPH.

    A Research Agenda for DSM-V Edited by David J. Kupfer, M.D. Michael B. First, M.D. Darrel A. Regier, M.D., M.P.H. Published by the American Psychiatric Association Washington, D.C. Note: The authors have worked to ensure that all information in this book is accu- rate at the time of publication and consistent with general psychiatric and medical standards, and that information concerning drug dosages, schedules, and routes of administration is accurate as of the time of publication and consistent with stan- dards set by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration and the general medical com- munity. As medical research and practice continue to advance, however, therapeutic standards may change. Moreover, specific situations may require a spe- cific therapeutic response not included in this book. For these reasons and because human and mechanical errors sometimes occur, we recommend that readers follow the advice of physicians directly involved in their care or the care of a member of their family. The findings, opinions, and conclusions of this report do not necessarily represent the views of the officers, trustees, or all members of the American Psychiatric Asso- ciation.

  • Personalized Medicine in Psychiatry
    PERSONALIZED MEDICINE IN PSYCHIATRY AUTHOR INFORMATION PACK TABLE OF CONTENTS XXX . • Description p.1 • Editorial Board p.2 • Guide for Authors p.4 ISSN: 2468-1717 DESCRIPTION . Personalized Medicine in Psychiatry provides a home for basic and clinical investigators, neuroscientists, psychiatrists, psychologists, residents, and medical and graduate students to publish high quality research papers, reviews, new ideas and perspectives, debates, case reports, applied technologies that contribute towards advancing our basic, clinical and therapeutic knowledge of personalized medicine in psychiatry. Personalized medicine in psychiatry seeks to identify factors that contribute to vulnerability to psychiatric disorders and accuracy of diagnosis as well as the major goal of increasing efficacy of therapeutic interventions and decreasing adverse effects by considering the individual characteristics of each patient (e.g. genetics and epigenetics, physiological, endocrinological, psychological, brain imaging and medical comorbidity). Personalized medicine in psychiatry encompasses both which individual should receive what specific type of treatment based on personalized measures, and also identifies those at risk, thereby reducing long-term costs of mental health as well as morbidity. The journal fills a broad void encompassing studies of endophenotypes and biological markers, pharmacological and psychotherapeutic approaches, educational and rehabilitation concerns, and environmental and behavioral, psychological and social research, all with the
