Sir: The editorial by George Christodoulou et al (2008) on ‘Psychiatry for the person’ and the response by Jeremy Holmes (2008) have been read with avid interest on this side of the globe. Listening to previous presentations on this topic at Asian meetings of the World Psychiatric Association (WPA), we were often left with a sinking feeling that they resonate well with our work but could be better. For the Institutional Programme on Psychiatry for the Person (IPPP) to succeed, there should be more participation from developing countries. The marketplace of ideas should not be confined to academics in Europe and North America and ignoring the rich experience of clinicians in Chennai, Singapore or Batu Pahat.
