Abstract
THE World Federation for Mental Health has published as a booklet a statement produced by the International Preparatory Commission for the International Congress of Mental Health which met in London in August 1948. Although the statement will appear in the published Proceedings of the Congress, the expressed wish that it should be given a wide circulation has resulted in its production in the present form. The International Preparatory Commission sat for a fortnight prior to the Congress and was made up of twenty-four persons from ten different countries representing the points of view of sociology, psychology, psychiatry, social work, anthropology, political science, philosophy and theology. As the raw material for its deliberations, reports were available from three hundred preparatory commissions composed of about five thousand workers in the different fields who had been working during the preceding year in twenty-seven countries. The booklet is obtainable from H. K. Lewis and Co., Ltd., 136 Gower Street, London, W.C.I.
