TEXAS SOCIETY OF PSYCHIATRIC PHYSICIANS
The Texas Society of Psychiatric Physicians was established in 1956 as the
Texas District Branch Association of the American Psychiatric Association. It
incorporated as a non-profit scientific organization in 1963. Following a
membership vote in May, 1986, the Constitution and Bylaws were amended to
reflect the new name, Texas Society of Psychiatric Physicians. The name was
changed to emphasize that psychiatry is the only branch of medicine which
specializes in and deals with the delivery of care and treatment of persons with
mental illness, and that it is the only mental health provider whose members are
trained and licensed as physicians. By adopting the name change to the Texas
Society of Psychiatric Physicians, the Society underscored psychiatry’s special,
unduplicated role in the care and treatment of mental illness. TSPP has 18
Chapters located throughout Texas (see below).
TSPPs purpose is summarized in its Mission Statement: The Texas Society of
Psychiatric Physicians is dedicated to developing the highest quality of
comprehensive psychiatric care for patients, families, and communities.
TSPPs objectives are to function in cooperation with, and as a component part
of, the American Psychiatric Association:
★ to promote the best interests of patients and those actively or potentially
making use of mental health services;
★ to advance the standards of all psychiatric services and facilities;
★ to foster the cooperation of all who are concerned with the medical,
psychological, social, and legal aspects of mental health and illness;
★ to make psychiatric knowledge available to other practitioners of medicine, to
scientists in other fields of knowledge, and to the public; and,
★ to assist the American Psychiatric Association in the promotion of its aims
and objectives.
