BURTON-BRADLEY（巴布亚新几内亚），秘书长是泷口周治（日本）。五年前，1977 年 9 月 5 日至 9 日在日本京都举行的第四届国际心身医学学会（ICPM）世界大会上开始筹备成立 ICPM-AC。第一届 ICPM-AC 大会由会长池上隆于 1984 年 5 月 19 日至 20 日在东京举行。早期的主要成员有池上隆、石川仁、泷口周治、桂卓三、中川哲也、清水秀和等人来自日本，以及台湾的贤仁、韩国的康成友、马来西亚的 MAHADEVAN、BURTON-BRADLEY 等人。此后，ICPM-AC 的学术大会，第 2 至第 9 届，大约每两年在日本、印度、马来西亚、台湾、韩国和中国举行。学会名称更改为亚洲心身医学学会（ACPM），第 10 至第 14 届大会分别在台湾、冲绳（日本）、澳大利亚、韩国和中国举行。ACPM 执行委员会现任主席是久保千寻，他是九州大学医院的院长。下一届学术大会是第 15 届 ACPM，将于 2012 年 8 月 24 日至 26 日在蒙古乌兰巴托由策伦呼亚格苏伦主办。参加国已扩大到包括蒙古、密克罗尼西亚、澳大利亚和斯里兰卡等亚洲-大洋洲国家。大会的主题主要集中在心身障碍、文化束缚综合征、东方医学等方面……迄今为止，“健康促进”通过提高基于心理神经内分泌免疫调节的心理健康水平非常重要。在亚洲-大洋洲地区，从心身和文化的角度来看，预防也很重要。最重要的是，对存在的、真实的健康的认识是促进健康长寿和心身健康的可靠途径。从主观、客观和生态的角度追求幸福和福祉将是 ACPM 未来最重要的目的。
