The 2^nd International Congress of Biological Psychiatry, 17-21 April 2007 in Santiago de Chile is approaching swiftly.

A top quality-scientific program has been compiled with 4 Plenary Lectures by world-renown authorities on hot topics of Biological Psychiatry, 4 Workshops in which the WFSBP Treatment Guidelines are discussed and further elaborated, 3 Debates on controversial issues of Biological Psychiatry and Psychopharmacology, and over 40 Symposia covering basic and clinical science as well as the interface between both areas.

The Symposia were selected by the International Scientific Program Committee out of 88 Symposia proposals from international leading scientists in the field. Furthermore there will be over 20 Free Communication Sessions and over 450 Posters to be on display throughout the Congress.

The full scientific program will be available online via the congress website on February 15 and I invite you to take a look at the outstanding sessions.
Come and join us for this exciting meeting and benefit from its special composition and truly international blend!

I look forward to meeting you personally in Santiago de Chile!

Sincerely yours,

Siegfried Kasper, MD
WFSBP President
