On behalf of the congress committees, it is with great pleasure to announce that the 1 7th International Congress of Psychiatry, and the 5th International Congress of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry, will be held from 14-16 September, Our Theme is Reality and Myth in Psychopharmacology and Psychotherapy

A critical review of lot of research work reveals flawed empirical evidence underpinning the case for integrating pharmacotherapy, and psychotherapy. Medical model, dominance favors biology in a diathesis/ stress framework, creating myths of valid diagnosis, underlying biological causes, and targeted pharmacological treatments. Meanwhile, a for-profit pharmaceutical industry influences clinical trials, constructing an illusory justification for medical intervention and bolstering the integration hypothesis, The apparent logic of integration threatens to diminish the crucial, empirically supported role of clients in psychotherapy outcome. Despite evidence for their comparable efficacy, psychotherapy faces of dramatic decline relative to pharmacotherapy in psychiatry. A lot of reality and myths regarding both will be discussed in our valuable congress. Make your plans and arrangements to join us in this hallmark event, waiting to welcoming you in the congress
