"The beginnings of the World Psychiatric Association in 1950, as an Association for the Organization of World Congresses of Psychiatry, with Jean Delay as its President and Henry Ey as its Secretary General, must be appreciated within the context of world events and developments in the health field. As becoming to any grand task that followed the immense adversities for all mankind represented by the Second World War, it amalgamated the historical vision, the indefatigable determination and the joint efforts of its founding members. In the general and mental health arena, the World Health Organization had just published the Sixth Revision of the International Classification of Diseases that for the first time included a section devoted to mental, psychoneurotic and personality disorders and few years later the American Psychiatric Association produced the first edition of its Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders."
