Abstract
The Papal Council "De apostolatu pro valetudinis adminisfris" organized from November 15 through 18, 1990 the fifth Vatican International Conference on "The Human Mind". The conference was attended by participants from ninety countries from around the world. The numerous speakers from the fields of the applied sciences, among whom were several Nobel Prize winners as well as philosophers, lawyers and theologians, attempted to shed light upon the relations and conditioning of the human body, i.e. the brain, and the activity of the human spirit. Particular attention was devoted to the treatment of persons suffering from mental illness and the improvement of human mental abilities. The conference was personally attended by John Paul II who thanked everyone in his address for their efforts in such a significant field, and encouraged them in their further work.
