title: Argentine psychiatry: report on the 30th Congress.
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To give a contextualised personal account of the 30th Annual Congress of the Argentine Association of Psychiatrists.
  
  
  METHODS
  Conference attendance and analysis of talks.
  
  
  RESULTS
  The congress demonstrated that Argentine psychiatry is held back by oppressive political regimes and by government underfunding. The drug companies and third-party payers are entering the vacuum.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  Argentine trainees and consultants feel ill-prepared to meet the demands of the biomedical psychiatry.
