The Southern Psychiatric Association and the Tennessee Psychiatric Association are holding their annual meeting from September 29 to October 3 at the Grove Park Inn in Asheville, N.C. The theme of the meeting is "Psychiatry on the Verge of DSM-5."

The Southern Psychiatric Association held its first meeting 75 years ago and will be marking that occasion at this meeting. The program will provide a review and update on new and emerging techniques, guidelines, clinical information, and managed care issues regarding the biological, psychodynamic, and administrative aspects of psychiatry.

The Grove Park Inn offers a variety of amenities, including golf, tennis, a spa, four restaurants, and a "dueling" piano bar. Reservations may be made by calling (800) 438-5800 and providing the group ID number #68Q7MO. The deadline for hotel reservations and meeting registration is August 22.
