WACP

Invitation to join The World Association of Cultural Psychiatry

All psychiatrists, clinical psychologists, social and behavioral scientists, and workers and investigators in mental health-related fields who are interested in cultural psychiatry or culture and mental health are invited to become members of the World Association of Cultural Psychiatry. 

WACP members will have the opportunity to network with colleagues around the world to exchange information and share knowledge and experiences relating to cultural psychiatry.  

As member of WACP you are entitled to participate in several Special Interest Groups (SIGs): 

  • Science, Faith & Mental Health
  • Art, Media & Mental Health 
  • Culture & Psychiatric Diagnosis
  • Culturally Adapted Treatments
  • SIG for Trainees/Students

WACP publishes a Newsletter and the online World Cultural Psychiatry Research Review (WCPRR), an open-access international journal comprised of original and review articles on culture and mental health. WCPRR includes articles from colleagues working in locations with limited opportunity to publish their work in international journals.

Additional benefits of membership include discounts on the registration fees for Regional Congresses and the WCCPs. Paid-up members will also have the right to vote in the elections for the Board of Directors, which are held every three years.
