Our vision is to transform the recognition, understanding and treatment of neuropsychiatric disorders. We are a vibrant and diverse organization whose strength derives from the commitment and enthusiasm of our membership. The fields of neuropsychiatry, behavioral neurology, neuropsychology cognitive neurosciences and neurorehabilitation are well represented. We also welcome students and trainees and work to establish career long relationships. In that sense, our organization serves as a catalyst for your professional enthusiasm and creativity. For most, the highlight of the year is our Annual Meeting where we all gather to learn about new advances in understanding and treating neuropsychiatric disorders. It is where science is translated into excellent clinical care. We provide ample opportunities for networking with like-minded professionals. Members return home with a renewed sense of excitement for neuropsychiatry and behavioral neurology and new information to improve patient care and teaching. Joining our organization offers additional benefits. Our committee structure offers opportunities to pursue specific interests and to advance the ANPA mission. We offer mentorship opportunities for early career professionals. Members also receive a subscription to the Journal of Neuropsychiatry and Clinical Neurosciences, edited by David Arciniegas, MD. In addition, the ANPA website has been upgraded to serve as a resource for members throughout the year. Thank you for visiting our website. I hope to meet your personally at our next Annual Meeting!

WHAT IS NEUROPSYCHIATRY?
A scientific field
When used to refer to a scientific field, neuropsychiatry is the integrated study of psychiatric and neurologic disorders. This definition of neuropsychiatry does not connote a particular type of educational background or professional training; instead, it refers broadly and inclusively of the work performed any basic or clinical scientist, educator, clinician, public policy maker, or other individual that seeks to advance our understanding of the neurological bases of psychiatric disorders, the psychiatric manifestations of neurological disorders, and/or the evaluation and care of persons with neurologically based behavioral disturbances. In other words, one’s work can be neuropsychiatric regardless of whether one is trained as a neuropsychiatrist.
A medical subspecialty
When used to refer to a medical subspecialty, neuropsychiatry is one of the two historically separate but parallel clinical disciplines that comprise the medical subspecialty known currently as Behavioral Neurology & Neuropsychiatry. While the knowledge base and clinical skills of behavioral neurologists and neuropsychiatrists are built upon on the foundation established by primary training in one or both of these specialties, expertise and clinical competence in Behavioral Neurology & Neuropsychiatry requires experience specific to the evaluation, differential diagnosis, prognosis, pharmacological treatment, psychosocial management, and neurorehabilitation of persons with complex neuropsychiatric and neurobehavioral conditions.
