The Irish College of Psychiatrists refuses to declare the extent of its involvement in drug company sponsorship Society needs an open debate on the influence of the drug companies in psychiatry. An indication of the lack of transparency in this area is the fact that the Irish College of Psychiatrists, a division of the Royal College of Psychiatrists, does not disclose how much money is received each year from drug company sponsorship. The College does not keep a register of members' interests in drug companies to ensure that psychiatrists declare how much sponsorship they receive as individuals. The College has over 10,000 members and only the trustees of the College, that would be Officers and elected members to Council, do have to declare any interests. The College believes that keeping such a register would not be workable. |

Jump To Comment: 2 1.sorry about late response.you're right about the link. The main point is they do not reveal the extent of their involvement in the drug companies. There should be transparency on this. Also when they provide exhibition space and promotions for these drug companies no public/critical psychiatry input is allowed.
Don't really understand how you think the Royal Col. psychiatrists are trying to 'cover up' the idea of anti-psychiatry...
They even have a page on their website explaining the notion and giving links to some related sites.
Doesnt seem like as much of a conspiracy as you think !
