  "The four areas of subspecialized practice in psychiatry are child, geriatric, forensic and psychosomatic psychiatry. Each has its own formal and incorporated academy. The four academies are the Canadian Academy of Geriatric Psychiatry; the Canadian Academy of Psychiatry and the Law, the Canadian Academy of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry and the Canadian Academy of Psychosomatic Medicine."
