Historia de la Asociación Española de Psiquiatría del Niño y del Adolescente (AEPNyA) en su setenta aniversario / History of the Spanish Association of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry on its 70th Anniversary

La Asociación española de psiquiatría del niño y del adolescente (AEPNyA) se fundó en Barcelona en el año 1950 como una sociedad médica que tenía como objetivo el estudio de los trastornos psiquiátricos de niños y adolescentes. Su desarrollo corre en paralelo con la de la psiquiatría infantil europea. Los fundadores fueron hombres y mujeres ilustrados, comprometidos con su tiempo y con la salud mental, la educación y los derechos de la infancia. Este artículo aborda los hitos principales de la historia de AEPNyA y distingue tres periodos: los comienzos, la fase de afianzamiento y el tiempo de la madurez. Los autores desean rendir un homenaje a los miembros fundadores y a todos aquellos que han contribuido al desarrollo de la Asociación

The Spanish Association of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry (AEPNyA) was founded in 1950 in Barcelona as a medical society, and was one of the first Societies for Child Psychiatry in Europe. Its founders were learned men and women who were concerned not only with children's psychiatric disorders, but also with their education and rights. The history of child psychiatry in Spain is intertwined with the development of this field throughout Europe. Over the course of its history, the AEPNyA has gone through several stages: its beginnings, its development, and its more established stage. This article pays tribute to the founders of the AEPNyA and to all those that have made a contribution to its development

A house divided: deinstitutionalization, medicare and the Canadian Mental Health Association in Saskatchewan, 1944-1964.

Defined as a set of distinct processes that included the declining use of large psychiatric institutions and the increasing use of outpatient services and general hospitals, deinstitutionalization occurred earlier in Saskatchewan than other provinces in Canada. It was led by a CCF government dedicated to major change across a number of sectors including mental health, assisted by one of the most influential and well-organized social movement organizations of the 1950s, the Saskatchewan Division of the Canadian Mental Health Association (SCMHA). However, by the late 1950s and early 1960s, the SCMHA opposed the CCF government's policy priority on medicare which it felt came at the expense of mental health care, in particular the implementation of a regional psychiatric hospital system called the Saskatchewan Plan. As a consequence, the SCMHA, once such a powerful ally of the CCF government in health reform, formed a strategic and temporary coalition with the anti-medicare forces in the province. Given the fact that a number of medical staff within the government's department of public health were prominent members of the SCMHA, the CCF government found that it occupied an increasingly divided house at the very time it was struggling to introduce medicare in the midst of civil unrest and a doctors' strike.

The role of UNASAM - National Union of Associations for Mental Health in Italy.

This paper, after an introduction on the origin, development and principal aims of the National Union of Associations for Mental Health (UNASAM), briefly describes what happened in the last 30 years in the field of mental health in Italy. This period covers roughly the lifespan of the Italian Law 180, from the beginnings, the closure of psychiatric hospitals, to the difficulties of present days. The second part of the paper is a summary of a study commissioned to UNASAM by Istituto Superiore di Sanità and conducted in collaboration with the Istituto di Ricerche Farmacologiche "Mario Negri" of Milan. This research was aimed at evaluating the quality of mental health services in four Italian Regions. Members of patients' families participated with enthusiasm, filling up a questionnaire and engaging in fieldwork, which required more than 3000 working hours and produced significant and useful results.
