About
In 1979 it was decided to separate the two specialties and each formed its own Society. When the “Portuguese Society of Psychiatry” emerged, it became truly representative and comprehensive. Representative, because it became the liaison with the World Psychiatric Association. Comprehensive, because other Portuguese Psychiatric Associations were incorporated in it, representing different branches of a common trunk.
