Abstract
THE International Congress on Mental Health held in London during August 11– 21, was an event of considerable significance for the social sciences and psychiatry, and the repercussions will be felt far afield. It marked a stage in the struggle of these disciplines, on one hand, for acceptance among the family of sciences, and on the other, for recognition in the world of affairs. The undoubted success of the Congress springs from the marriage of these two aims. It is only possible to give here a passing reference to some of the more important aspects of the Congress, to the immense amount of preparatory work, and to the implications for the future.
