THE BULLETIN OF THE WORLD FEDERATION FOR MENTAL HEALTH, first issued in its present form in February, 1949, is published every two months; it is the successor to the series of twelve bulletins distributed by the International Congress on Mental Health held in London in August, 1948. The purpose of the Bulletin is two-fold. It is intended to serve as a link between the Federation and member associations in different countries of the world. It is also intended to provide a forum for the exchange of ideas and information concerning the principles and practice of mental health throughout the world. In each issue it is proposed to publish at least one original article on some topic relevant to the Federation's work. Space will also be provided for news from member associations and for reporting on the activities undertaken by the Federation's Executive. The annual subscription is one dollar which should be mailed directly to World Federation for Mental Health, 19 Manchester Street, London W. 1, England.
