Indian Psychiatric Society @75: A Panoramic Retrospection for Psychiatrists and Psychiatry Postgraduates | Platinum Jubilee History of Indian Psychiatry and the IPS (1948-2023): 1

Indian Psychiatric Society @75: A Panoramic Retrospection marks the Platinum Jubilee of the Indian Psychiatric Society (IPS) with a comprehensive account of Indian psychiatry's evolution over 75 years. The book organizes this history into five botanically named sections -- Foundation, Foliage, Flora, Furcate and Fountain -- tracing everything from pre-independence mental health, the birth and growth of the IPS and its constitution, to mental health legislation and the Society's international affiliations. Later sections cover the contributions of the IPS's five zonal branches, its founders and trailblazers, presidential addresses, and the evolution of mental hospital and general hospital psychiatry, journals, research, training and the Indian diaspora's contribution to the field. A dedicated section maps the growth of psychiatric subspecialities -- child, addiction, geriatric, social and community psychiatry, telepsychiatry, and national mental health programmes and policies -- along with the roles of parallel psychiatric societies, clinical psychologists, psychiatric social workers and psychiatric nurses.
