The Transcultural Section of the World Psychiatric Association (WPA-TPS) unites psychiatrists and other mental health workers from all over the world who regard Transcultural Psychiatry as their specialty. Our members are outstanding scientists, and many of them have created new programs and written articles and books on this field.
WPA-TPS is an active club, organizing conferences and symposia in many countries throughout the world and in several languages, like English, Spanish and French. The WPA-TPS also publishes a newsletter and plays an active role in the official journal of the Section, Transcultural Psychiatry. Our website also offers many other resources like videos, articles and comparative practices.
