Abstract
The International Congress on Mental Health, which was held in London in August, included three important conferences in one. During the first week, the mornings were devoted to the International Conference on Child Psychiatry, the afternoons to the International Conference on Medical Psychotherapy, while the whole of the second week was given to sessions of the International Conference on Mental Hygiene. (The composite noun is presumably a Congress of Conferences!)
Unlike many scientific meetings, the programme was planned to cover related subjects; and, instead of a series of unconnected papers, each day took a particular aspect for its theme. The themes of the three conferences led into one another, Child Psychiatry dealing especially with "Personality development in its individual and social aspects, with special reference to aggression," Psychotherapy with the theme of guilt, and Mental Hygiene with the more general implications of Mental Health and World Citizenship.
