The International Society for Research in Child and Adolescent Psychopathology
(ISRCAP) was founded in 1988 by Herbert C. Quay, so that mental health professionals interested in child psychopathology would
have a forum to exchange ideas concerning the nature and treatment of childhood mental disorders. Members are interested in
recent, basic and applied research and current treatment strategies.
The society has grown to approximately 320 members worldwide. Membership requires
a Ph.D. or M.D., written endorsement from two ISRCAP members, and five publications in refereed journals, on one of which
the applicant is sole or first author.
Beginning January 2010, membership dues are $150.00 USD
per year and include a subscription to the Journal of Abnormal Child Psychology. Members are also subscribed to the ISRCAP listserv.
