Balancing Cure with Care: Advances in Late Life Mental Health

The International Psychogeriatric Association (IPA) will be holding its 2015 IPA International Congress in Berlin, Germany, 13-16 October 2015. IPA is the only international, multi-disciplinary association discussing the broad needs of old age mental health – from healthy aging to the diseases of the aged (dementia, depression, agitation, capacity, and more). IPA offers meetings that are essential opportunities for collaborating with colleagues with diverse backgrounds and many interests but with a common purpose… to improve the mental health of older people.

This IPA congress will focus on balancing races for the cure against the undeniable obligation we have as mental health professionals to care for our patients and their families. It is more prescient today than in the past and in fact, increasingly care and cure are blended in our professional lives such that the most effective interventions of today combine cure and care oriented approaches.

The 2015 Meeting will appeal to the entire healthcare team – psychiatrists, neurologists, geriatricians, primary care physicians, nurses, psychologists, social workers, occupational therapists and more. Plan to attend and benefit from connecting within the unique professional community that is IPA.
