Asociación Española de Neuropsiquiatria

What Asociación Española de Neuropsiquiatria does

Asociación Española de Neuropsiquiatría (AEN) is a private, nonprofit, multiprofessional scientific association of mental health professionals in Spain, founded in 1925 and headquartered at C/ Magallanes 1, Sótano 2 local 4, Madrid. It operates independently of the pharmaceutical industry, serving psychiatrists, psychologists, psychiatric nurses, occupational therapists, and social workers through membership, scientific publications, training programs, congresses, and advocacy for public, community-based mental health grounded in human rights.

AEN's product portfolio centers on a website platform (aen.es), the peer-reviewed Revista de la AEN, the Cuadernos de Psiquiatría Comunitaria series, the Colección Estudios book line, and the semi-annual Boletín AEN, all distributed through a Tienda AEN online store. Education is delivered via the Escuela de Salud Mental and its seasonal Escuela de Otoño residential training (seventh edition in July 2026) and the 12th edition of the Diploma in Collective Mental Health co-organized with Universitat Rovira i Virgili. The association coordinates a network of 14 autonomous regional associations and 8 specialized sections covering Day Hospitals, Psychoanalysis, Psychosocial Rehabilitation, Child and Adolescent Mental Health, History, Human Rights, Group Psychotherapy, and Social Determinants.

Revenue is generated through five streams: recurring membership dues, course and training fees (e.g., Diálogo Abierto €120 members/€160 non-members, Escuela de Otoño €105–€210), one-time publication sales, event and webinar registration (€5/€10 for webinars), and journal subscriptions. Go-to-market is community-led, reaching members through regional branches, annual congresses, webinars, training programs, and the Escuela de Salud Mental for residents. The stated customer outcomes include 7,881+ downloads of the Psychological Therapists Guide and 430+ attendees at the XXIII AEN Congress in 2010. AEN holds strategic partnerships with the European Psychiatric Association, Mental Health Europe, Conecta Perinatal Alliance, and URV.
