Sear ﬁr. Leigh:
For many years I have been interested in the applications

of electroencephalography to psychiatry. At the 1961 World
Congress of Psychiatry 1 chaired a symposium on BBC and woman
PsychOpharnecology, which was summarized in the EEG Journsl,

In subsequent years, meetings of psychiatrist ~
electroencephalographers have been held in association with
1963.

the Society of Biological Psychiatry, the
in rushingtoo and the latest, in association with the
International EEG in San Diego. This latter meeting was held
in my laboratories in New York on September 25, and was attended
by 24 visitors from nine countries.
It was the consensus that
similar meetings should be held and ideally the members agreed
that the Worlé Psychiatric Association represented the best
the

forum.

Recently, Br. Jonathon Cole brought to my attention
the fact that the EPA has established sections on diverse
aspects of psychiatry. Prior to my discussion with 9r. Cole,
I had written to Dr. do la Fuente regarding a symposium on
EEG and psychiatry during the Vth loternetionel Congress in
Mexico City in l971. He expressed interest in this suggestion
and plonned to discuss it with the Executive Committee.
of

EEG

an writing to propose the establishment of a section
and Psychiatry within the world ?sychiatric Association.

It is my belief that there is general interest in the applications
of this tool, developed 40 years ago by the psychiatrist,
Dr. Hans aergor, and I believe such a section will not only be
productive for the scientists directly involved, but also for
the many psychiatrists of diverse interests who attend the
world Congresses.

Hey I have your advice on how

to proceed?

Sincerely yours,
ﬂex Fink, M.B.
