mentally retarded, and the emotionally disturbed;

D. to promote research, professional education in psychiatry and allied fields,
and the prevention of psychiatric disabilities;
E. to foster the cooperation of all who are concerned with the medical,
psychological, social and legal aspects of mental health and illness;
F. to make psychiatric knowledge available to other practitioners of medicine,
to scientists, and to the public;
G. to promote the best interests of patients and those actually or
potentially making use of mental health services;
H. to coordinate and work in concert with other state professional psychiatric
associations on joint public and professional education projects and public
policy advocacy; and,
