The WPA has 147 Members Societies, mostly national psychiatric associations, and 36 Affiliated
Associations, representing some 250,000 psychiatrists worldwide. We collaborate with our members to
share best practices, bring a global perspective to local activities and to provide a united voice
for psychiatry in the mental health sphere.
Whilst the WPA does not accept applications for individual memberships, the “Special Members”
category includes those individuals who have been awarded an honorary membership, fellowship or
presidential commendation following an exceptional contribution to the practice of psychiatry.
Special memberships are nominated, agreed and conferred at triennial General Assembly meetings.
