The founding of ISPS Denmark
At the symposium held earlier this year, a general assembly decided that now was the time to start up the long awaited Danish branch of the ISPS.
Elected as president was Dr. Med Bent Rosenbaum, from the Unit for Psychotherapy Education and Research, Psychiatric University Centre Glostrup (where the local ISPS branch will be based). Other members of the committee are Francisco Alberdi, MD, Psychotherapeutic Unit, Copenhagen University Hospital, Bispebjerg; Anne Marie Christensen, MD, Child and Adolescent Unit, same hospital (secretary); Mathilde Lajer, MD, Chief psychiatrist, Sönderborg Psychiatric Hospital, and clinical psychologist Bettina Jaeger, Copenhagen (treasurer).
The ISPS Denmark is a part of international ISPS and will follow the laws of this organization. Local rules were voted on. Everybody with an interest in the psychological treatment of person with schizophrenia, who accepts the rules of ISPS, will be accepted as a member. The board will meet at least twice a year and arrange 1-2 local symposia.
