In 1865, the Association of Medical Officers of Asylums and Hospitals for the Insane (1841) changed its name to the Medical Psychological Association of Great Britain and Ireland. By the end of the 19th Century, it had grown to over 600 members with three English divisions, a division for Ireland and one for Scotland. The latter was founded in 1869. The Association acquired a Royal Charter in 1926. The Royal College of Psychiatrists superseded it in 1971.
