Preface
Neuropsychiatry is an integrating neuroscience of neurology and psychiatry that
aims to investigate the psychiatric symptoms of neurological disorders as well as
the neurobiological bases of psychiatric disorders, including organic mental disor-
ders and endogenous psychoses. Additionally, neuropsychiatry aims to prevent or
reduce the suffering of individuals with the psychiatric symptoms of cerebral
disorders. The International Organization of Neuropsychiatry (ION), the forerunner
of the current association, was established in Seville in 1996 and was reorganized as
the International Neuropsychiatric Association (INA) in Toronto in 1998. Since then,
it has continued to provide a forum for exchanging knowledge acquired by scientific
activities in the field to accomplish the purposes of the association. Toward that end,
international congresses have been held every 2 years in cities around the world:
Seville (1996), Toronto (1998), Kyoto (2000), Buenos Aires (2002), Athens (2004),
Sydney (2006), and Cancun (2008). In addition to the international congresses,
regional congresses of neuropsychiatry have been organized regularly in Europe and
Latin America. All the meetings have been successful and fruitful in stimulating
progress in neuropsychiatry. As one of the results of the meetings, the monograph
Contemporary Neuropsychiatry was published by Springer Japan in 2001.
This present monograph consists of papers from the Kobe Conference of the
International Neuropsychiatric Association, which was held by the International
Neuropsychiatric Association in collaboration with the Jinmeikai Foundation and
the Japan Neuropsychiatric Association in Kobe, September 12–13, 2009. The
meeting was originally planned to be a semi-closed workshop for the publication
of this monograph in neuropsychiatry. Because the meeting was organized to be
held between two international congresses of neuropsychiatry – the 7th INA
Congress in Cancun (2008) and the 8th INA Congress in Chennai (2011) – it was
planned so as to concentrate on rather limited areas of neuropsychiatry, namely, the
clinical aspects of neuropsychiatric disorders.
As the editors, we are confident that this publication will stimulate further progress
and research in neuropsychiatry in all parts of the world. We express our heartfelt
gratitude for the contributions by all the authors who attended the meeting and sub-
mitted papers. We are very pleased to have received their excellent work in neurop-
sychiatry for this publication. We express our special appreciation to Dr. Perminder
Sachdev, who allowed us to publish “The Core Curriculum of Neuropsychiatry,”

which originally appeared on the website of the International Neuropsychiatric
Association in 2004, for standardizing the guidelines of training in neuropsychiatry.
