LPMA is returning to
Costa Rica for the Fall Meeting, Sept. 21-23, 2000. Many of the members who
enjoyed our meeting there in 1993 asked for another visit and those who missed
it and heard descriptions of the beauty and diversity of Costa Rica clamored
for an opportunity to experience it themselves. The meeting will be held in the
Cariari Resort Hotel, which is located near San Jose.
Daniel K.
Winstead, MD, Chair of the Department of Psychiatry and Neurology at Tulane, is
planning the meeting. The scientific program is entitled "The Suicidal
Patient:Risk Assessment, Prevention & Treatment." Speakers are Jan Fawcett,
MD who will give the keynote address on "An Overview of Suicide;" Donna M.
Mancuso, MD on "Assessment & Intervention with the Acutely Suicidal
Patient;" Patrick T. O'Neill, MD on "Suicide in Affective (Bipolar)
Disorders);" Jose M. Pena, MD on "Suicide Risk and Dangerousness to Self in
Orders for Protective Custody;" Richard F. Dalton, Jr., MD on "Suicide and
Suicidal Behaviors in Adolescents;" Kenneth M. Sakauye on Suicidal
Threats/Behaviors in the Elderly;" and Richard L. Gibson, MD, J.D. on
"Physician Assisted Suicide." |
