ISPS Korea
ISPS Korea held its first scientific meeting on February 16 in 2008, with the theme “Treatment of Schizophrenia: Principle and Experience” at the Conference Hall of Seoul University Dental Hospital. The event featured about 200 participants from a variety of different professions such as psychiatrists, psychologists, social workers, art therapists plus service users and family members and carers.
At the meeting, following the Welcome Address by Huh Chan Hee (the President of ISPS Korea) in part I, he presented “Combined therapy of Schizophrenia: Psychotherapy and pharmacotherapy,”. Lectures were also given on the “The principle of drug therapy of Schizophrenia” and “Rehabilitations of Schizophrenia” by Kim Chan Hyong and Hwang Tae Yeon, respectively. “The personal experience of receiving psychotherapy as a schizophrenic patient for 7 years” followed, by Lee Jung Gil. In part 2, an impassioned panel - using a psychotherapy case study of a schizophrenic girl interviewed by Professor Rhee Dongschick - was held between panelists, which was followed by a lively question and answer session between Prof. Rhee and all the participants.
