There are two types of Symposia. The first provides an opportunity for discussion on a particular topic by experts who approach the issue from slightly different, but generally complementary, perspectives. The second type offers discussion of a controversial topic by experts with differing views. Generally, presenters should come from more than one setting. Institutes focus on how to do it with respect to clinical problems, academic areas, or a blending of the two.
Case examples are helpful.
Please include a proposed schedule of the Institute. Films, videotapes, music, and other forms of media relevant to any area of child and adolescent psychiatry may be submitted. 3 copies of a review of the content of the video and summary of the points for discussion. Only American format VHS videotapes can be shown.
