The Congress was successful in that it provided opportunities to renew friendships, to learn from experience and research done elsewhere and to create bridges and collaborative arrange- ments where these never existed before. It also demonstra- ted that the improvement of communication among psychiatrists is a task of highest priority. This is so for various reasons-including economic pressures on health care systems, the rapid growth of knowledge, the increase of the numbers of mental health professionals-all of which require consensus within the profession and a common stance in promoting the care for people with mental illness and research in the field of mental health and disease. It thus became obvious that activities that promote com- munication among mental health professionals, and are 12 Anthology of French Language Psychiatric Texts likely to increase their respect for each other so that they can work together, will have to be among top priorities for the World Psychiatric Association in the ensuing years. This goal was then pursued through a variety of means: by increasing the numbers of Member Societies, now 114 in 96 countries, by developing educational programmes, by an extensive programme of publications now including seven international journals and other activities. The programme of scientific and professional psychiatric meetings and congresses was also significantly expanded-in the period 1996-1999, the WPA has organised or co-sponsored 50 inter- national meetings and congresses varying in size from a few hundreds to several thousand participants. The scientific sections of the W A h ave also made a major contribution to this effort through the publication of newsletters, sec- tion meetings and joint development of educational pro- grammes. In order to proceed in a more comprehensive and faster way in this work the WPA has established partnership with other NGO’s, with scientific institutions and with representatives of the health industries. In this respect, a particularly valuable contribution of WPA’s work have been donations notably from SynthClabo who supported WA’s project of strengthening psychiatric libraries in developing countries: with the help of this donation, li- braries in 22 countries worldwide were equipped with com- puter facilities, access to Internet and subscriptions to technical journals. In the course of these activities, it became obvious that language barriers do not only represent difficulties in travel and daily living, but that they also affect the utilisation of knowledge published in only one language. The rich tradi- tions of psychiatry and the wealth of ideas available to those conversant with the language of their producers remain hidden to others or, worse still, reach them distorted through incomplete or incorrect citation. It was therefore most encouraging to receive support from SynthClabo en- abling the WPA to bring out the first of the series of
