A Organização Mundial da Saúde (OMS) e a Seção de Psiquiatria da Pessoa Idosa da Associação Mundial de Psiquiatria (AMP), em colaboração com um grupo interdisciplinar de representantes das principais associações internacionais e organizações não-governamentais implicadas na saúde mental das pessoas idosas, publicaram três declarações técnicas de consenso sobre a psiquiatria da pessoa idosa (1), a organização dos cuidados em psiquiatria da pessoa idosa (2) e o ensino da psiquiatria da pessoa idosa (3). O Dia Mundial da Saúde 2001, cujo tema foi "Não à exclusão, sim aos cuidados", deu origem a uma nova reunião de consenso sobre o tema da estigmatização e discriminação das pessoas idosas com transtornos mentais. Essa nova reunião foi realizada em Lausanne nos dias 8 e 9 de outubro de 2001 e produziu uma declaração técnica de consenso. O texto inicial foi publicado pela OMS e AMP em inglês. Este artigo apresenta a versão em português desse documento.
This technical consensus statement is jointly produced by the Old Age Psychiatry section of the World Psychiatric Association and the World Health Organization, with the collaboration of several NGOs and the participation of experts from different regions. It is intended to be a tool for (i) promoting debate at all levels on the stigmatization of older people with mental disorders; (ii) outlining the nature, causes and consequences of this stigmatization; and (iii) promoting and suggesting policies, programs and actions to combat this stigmatization.

Competency-based training approaches are being used more in healthcare to guide curriculum content and ensure accountability and outcomes in the educational process. This article provides an overview of the state of competency development in the field of behavioral health. Specifically, it identifies the groups and organizations that have conducted and supported this work, summarizes their progress in defining and assessing competencies, and discusses both the obstacles and future directions for such initiatives. A major purpose of this article is to provide a compendium of current competency efforts so that these might inform and enhance ongoing competency development in the varied behavioral health disciplines and specialties. These varied resources may also be useful in identifying the core competencies that are common to the multiple disciplines and specialties.

Introduction by the column editor: In this final column of the year, Dr. Taintor provides an overview of exciting technological developments via his report on the 2003 annual meeting of the American Association for Technology in Psychiatry (AATP). Advances-and convergences-in technology are providing clinicians with increasingly useful tools to enhance the effectiveness of their treatments, increase access to care, reduce errors, and save time. As Dr. Taintor notes, AATP's meeting is traditionally held in conjunction with the annual meeting of the American Psychiatric Association (APA). I hope that his report will encourage APA's members to attend some of next year's informative sessions.
