Dr. M. Ralph Kaufman, President of our Association, will head a mission to Israel in September to survey the mental health problems of that country. He is going at the invitation of the Ministry of Health of the State of Israel. The other members of the mission will be Dr. Dale C. Cameron, Acting Director of the National Institute for Mental Health of the United States Public Health Service, and Dr. Paul Friedman of New York.
This project has grown out of the work of the American Committee on Mental Health in Israel, sponsored by the American Fund for Israel Institutions.
