Clarification
The article "Good Intentions Often Miss Disaster Relief
Targets" in the July 1 issue reported on a session held at APA's 2005
annual meeting in Atlanta titled "Global Disasters: Psychiatric Medicine
and Public Health Challenges." The article did not name the
organizations that collaborated on the session, which was held at the Carter
Center. APA's Council on Global Psychiatry and the World Psychiatric
Association's Conflict Management and Resolution Section organized the
session. The other groups involved were the World Psychiatric Association's
sections on Military and Disaster Psychiatry and Occupational Psychiatry, the
World Health Organization, and the Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention.
The session, said Eliot Sorel, M.D., chair of the WPA Conflict Management
and Resolution Section, was "a model of cooperation essential not only
for scientific meetings but also for the practical development of responses to
and interventions in disasters" occurring anywhere in the world.
