About the Society
Indian Association of Private Psychiatry
Over the years, medical care has evolved in India with more than 75 % of the population being catered to by the private sector. This is a sizable number, given the population of our country is the second largest in the world. Thus, the need for a professional organization to take care of the professional and academic interests of the private sector was born. Some felt that their specific needs require special emphasis, which is not possible in a mainstream organization.
In January 2000, during a symposium in Kochi, some colleagues highlighted the imperative need for such an organization. Thus began a series of consultations by Dr. Kala, founder president of the Indian Association of Private Psychiatry (IAPP) with various psychiatrists across the country. Many had similar ideas and keenly supported the idea. Thus, in April 2000, the IAPP was formally formed with the 1st conference in Delhi. It was inaugurated by the then Health Minister of India. The subsequent conferences were at Jodhpur, Cochin, Varanasi, and at Chennai. In addition to this, the Mid Term CMEs have been conducted across the country on various topics close to the hearts of private practitioners. Other notable initiatives were Symposiums on Attempted Suicide, a Workshop on Art of Psychiatry & Research Strategies for the Clinician in the 21st century.
IAPP is a fast-growing organisation both in terms of membership and activities. This has been possible because of the enthusiastic efforts of our fast-growing fraternity.
In the coming years, new initiatives are planned in the areas of ethics, regulatory system, govt. policy vis a vis private sector, accreditation of CME programs, treatment guidelines & data bank.

Open Access Policy
A comprehensive outlook on open access policy that we follow:
Open access refers to the practice of making peer-reviewed scholarly research and literature freely available online to anyone interested in reading it at no cost and with limited restrictions with regards to reuse. Open access publications are freely and permanently available online to anyone with an internet access. The journal allows unrestricted use, distribution and reproduction in any medium (which is non-commercial), provided the article is properly attributed. All the articles are published, without any technical, financial, gender limitations, in an agreed format on the journal website and deposited in archive and indexing databases as applicable to the journal. All articles are assigned a Digital Object Identifier (DOI), thereby making it fully citable and searchable by title, author name(s) and the full text.
Why open access publishing?
Restricted access to scientific research and advancements through subscription pay wall hinders communication within the scientific community. Moreover, restricted access can also hinder the education and dissemination of scientific knowledge to the aspiring younger generations who are keen to pursue a career in science. Increased productivity and development of science can only be achieved by diffusing knowledge and providing the facilities for creating permanent repositories such as Open Access.
The use of a Creative Commons 4.0 License (CC-BY-NC 4.0) enables user/reader/peer to use the content with clear permission in a way that it can be reused and redistributed as long as the article source is appropriately given credit for non-commercial purpose.
Self-Archiving Policy for Authors
The Indian Journal of Private Psychiatry upholds a Repository Policy and is listed in Sherpa Romeo for compliance with self-archiving regulations. Authors are encouraged to deposit the final published PDF in their institutional repository or any suitable subject repository (according to the end-user license of the article, i.e., strictly for non-commercial re-use) immediately upon publication. The deposited version should contain the URL and link to the online published version on the publisher’s website to clearly identify it as the definitive version of record.
