✦ Synopsis

I have recently returned from the USA where I had the opportunity to attend the annual meeting of the American Academy of Psychiatry and the Law in Baltimore. It was good to see several Australian colleagues from New South Wales, Victoria and Queensland in attendance. As expected, the standard of the presentations was excellent. Practices in the USA do not always travel well across the Pacific because of differences in services and resources, but nevertheless one can always pick up new knowledge and learn something that is helpful on return home.
