ISPS

International Society for Psychological And Social Approaches to Psychosis. (See reason for name change.)

Formerly the International Society for the Psychological Treatments of the Schizophrenias and Other Psychoses.

From the ISPS-US [USA Chapter] 14th Annual Meeting (October 4-6, 2013) program introduction:

"ISPS (The International Society for Psychological and Social Approaches to Psychosis) recently changed its name to eliminate the word "schizophrenia," based on a growing international consensus that the stigmatizing impact of the term far outweighs the limited validity of the construct. Our previous keynoter, Richard Bentall, PhD, has written persuasively that while there is scientific evidence for the construct of certain symptoms, there is no evidence for a unified "disease" called schizophrenia."
