2 Dear Friends and Colleagues, We take pleasure in inviting you to take part in the 1st World Congress on Controversies in Psychiatry (COPSY). We would be honored by your participation. During the Decade of the Brain, the field of Psychiatry has witnessed enormous expansion in clinical and basic data. This growth has created a greater need to debate the many controversial issues raised and translate them into clinical practice. This point is emphasized in light of the creation of the Neurosciences and the need to negotiate a unique place for Psychiatry in this domain. This is a Concept Congress that strives to promote true clinical discussion on unresolved pressing issues between practicing physicians and clinical researchers and allowing ample time for speakers-audience interaction. This CME approved Congress has the ability to reach real-life agreed-upon insights on a wide range of psychiatric issues even when the available data is incomplete. The Congress will highlight up-to-date, evidence-based medicine in Psychiatry, to be presented by internationally acclaimed experts. We look forward to your positive response. Your presence will create a greater forum dedicated to solving these controversial issues. Yours sincerely, Prof. Meir Steiner Prof. Julien Mendlewicz Prof. Joseph Zohar On behalf of the Scientific Committee
