Psiquiatria.com, continuing the theme of ongoing learning via Internet, announces the 12th VIRTUAL CONGRESS OF PSYCHIATRY 'INTERPSIQUIS 2011', from 1 to 28 February, 2011, in line with its primary objective, which is the "promotion of Psychiatry in the Castilian Spanish language over the Internet." The annual Congress gathers all contributions from more than 285,000 professionals who subscribe to psiquiatria.com from over 60 countries.

The objectives include:

• To be an annual forum of reference for exchanges between practitioners of psychiatry and mental health to serve for the promotion, information, communication and improvement in the quality of psychiatry from Castilian-speakers.
• Make available to all psychiatrists and mental health professionals the latest developments in the different areas of the specialty, trying to ensure that the quality of presentations and lectures is as high as that of any attended Congress.
• Bringing together psychiatrists from around the world by facilitating the exchange of knowledge, information and the undertaking of joint projects which will result in the improvement of Castilian-speaking psychiatry in aspects such as care, teaching and research
• To ensure all this is carried out free of charge, avoiding travel, expenses and the inconvenience of these due to the possibility of attending the Congress from home, if desired. Facilitating access to relevant information for professionals who live in places with limited opportunities for continuing education or are unable to travel for whatever reason.
• The official language is Castilian Spanish, but work can be presented in any language, provided that at least the summary is in Castilian.

The scientific programme tries to cover all areas of Psychiatry.

This year, as something new, all users will be automatically enrolled into psiquiatria.com in the Congress so that they can access the reading of the lectures and participate through messages from the bulletins or the conference website . It also has an area of Congress-accredited courses for those who want more intensive training in specific topics.

We invite all those interested in participating to start preparing their work to be sent from the conference website.

Retrats is a documentary that follows the story of seven people seeking to return to a normal life after many years suffering from schizophrenia. Retrats is not looking for a scientific approach to this disease, but a positive view that shows the enthusiasm and commitment of these individuals in overcoming the illness.

The paint workshop is the backbone for achieving this recovery. Painting acts as a means of expression and freedom, as a metaphor for reconstruction. The documentary shows how this workshop experience changes the characters, the vision they have of their own lives and their opportunities to make their dreams come true.

The documentary offers a unique feature that makes it even more interesting and this is the fact that Lluís Gràcia, the main character and workshop leader, is also suffering from schizophrenia. Lluís has been undergoing similar experiences for years and conveys to students what painting has meant and means in his battle against this illness, with the aim of helping people like him who are in the process of recuperation.

The premiere of Retrats will be presented by their producers, Pau Itarte and Quim Fuster. This will be followed by the screening of the documentary and the event will conclude with a panel discussion involving, in addition to producers, Dr. Cristana Molina, head of the Department of Mental Health of the Generalitat de Catalunya, who has endorsed the project, Joan Sallo (Director of AREP and participant in the documentary), Dr. Carlos Roncero, head of CAS, Vall d'Hebron and Dr. Jose Luis Lorenzo, Medical Advisor from Brainpharma and newly appointed Medical Director of Grupo Ferrer.

Retrats seeks to combat the stigmatisation of mentally disabled patients, showing that all these people are the same as everyone else, with their life projects and their desire to carry them out. They only require specialized support to help overcome their difficulties.

18:00 Presentation.
18:15 Screening of the documentary.
19:10 Roundtable with the participation of representatives of the Department of Health of the Generalitat.
