After the congress in Kanazawa, the board of trustees of psychiatry became managed according to the principles discussed therein. However, many society members did not participate in the general meeting of psychiatry and had not paid the membership fee. The society faced financial difficulty, and management of the society and all psychiatry departments in universities in Japan was democratized. Regarding measures taken for the preservation of public security, the number of criminal psychiatric patients had increased, and pressure from administrators and the community made the government submit a plan of revision of criminal law to the committee. In the Group of Seven Psychiatric Associations (GSPA), including the Japanese Society of Psychiatry and Neurology (JSPN), the plan of revision of criminal law was discussed. JSPN and the Japan Municipal Hospital Association (JMHA) opposed it and only the Japan Psychiatric Hospital Association (JAPH) agreed with it. The Japan Association of Chairs in the Department of Psychiatry (JACDP) as a member of GSPA submitted a modified plan to the government in which they shifted a concept from the prospect of a second offense to the possibility of treatment.
 The government adopted the modified plan, and the Medical Treatment and Supervision Act was established in which medical and judicial sides cooperate separately. Concerning medical services of psychiatry, human rights and promotion of rehabilitation were demonstrated in the Mental Health and Welfare Act established in 1987. The revolution was carried out by the leadership of the government, but it was insufficient. Regarding the board certified system of psychiatry, steady efforts in the society and pressure from the outside as the start of the postgraduate educational system were required for its establishment. It took 34 years to start the system. After the start of the system, the number of society members markedly increased, and the society communicated smoothly with other psychiatric associations and the government. The society recovered its main position among psychiatry associations. It is important to examine the revolution of the Kanazawa Congress and the following processes, and consider our experiences to address the situation.
