Foreword
This book contains all of the abstracts of the 16th World Congress of the Interna
tional Association for Child and Adolescent Psychiatry and Allied Professions (IA
CAPAP) held in Berlin, Aug 22-26, 2004.
The abstracts are arranged according to the type of session (main lecture, state
of the art lecture, symposium, workshop, course, or poster exhibition) and the day
of the conference. The abstracts of the industry-sponsored sessions are also in
cluded. A subject index is provided to help track themes of special interest. The
author index allows you to find the abstract authors and the address of the first
author for direct contact.
The general theme of the congress "Facilitating Pathways: Care, Treatment and
Prevention in Child and Adolescent Mental Health" is quite inclusive and the contri
butions to the Congress, as reflected in the abstracts, cover the whole range of child
and adolescent mental health endeavour, including all modern methods and trends
in research and clinical application. The ways we understand and treat our patients
are changing rapidly, and this too is reflected in the contributions to this volume,
which give state-of-the-art information that should allow us to provide better care,
treatment and prevention to children, adolescents and their care-givers everywhere
in the world.
In spite of remarkable progress during recent years, there are still areas of major
concern such as:
• magnitude of the burden of child and adolescent mental disorders
• advances made in treatment and diagnosis
• barriers to treatment
• trends in care for children and adolescents with mental disorders.
The Congress has recognized these areas of concern and given them special atten
tion where possible.
The concern for international issues, the uniquely important role of IACAPAP, is
expressed by the breadth of the contributions coming from more than 70 countries.
The cultural dimension is often emphasized both in terms of differences, but im
portantly in an understanding of commonalities across cultures.
The editors of this volume wish to thank the members of the IACAPAP Executive
Committee for continuous help and support. They thank all the authors for their
valuable contributions and their excellent cooperation. They express their thanks
and appreciation to the German Society for Child and Adolescent Psychiatry, Psy
chosomatics and Psychotherapy for the invitation to Germany and for substantial
support. Further, they would like to offer their most sincere thanks to the program
committee and especially to the reviewers who did an excellent job in reviewing
more than 1200 submissions with remarkable results. Some compromises regarding
format and the language of abstracts had to be made in order to maintain and pro
mote a degree of uniformity and the international character of this Congress.
VI I Foreword
Finally, we thank very cordially the team of the congress orgamzmg company
CPO-Hanser and the members of the publishing company Steinkopff. Last, but not
least, we wish to thank the staff members of the Marburg Department for Child
and Adolescent Psychiatry for their immense engagement, untiring effort, and
highly competent work.
