Psychiatric News, is a media platform dedicated to serving as the primary and most trusted source of information for APA members, other psychiatrists and physicians, health professionals, and the public about developments in the field of psychiatry and mental health that impact clinical care and professional practice.
Psychiatric News accomplishes these goals by providing important clinical and research news across the spectrum of psychiatry and the biobehavioral sciences; providing information about mental health issues, policies, programs, and actions, including advocacy, education, ethics, minority interests, and practice guidelines; and serving as a forum for the exchange of ideas and opinions relating to psychiatry and mental health.
Psychiatric Research and Clinical Practice (PRCP) is a peer-reviewed, open-access journal from the American Psychiatric Association that offers a high-profile publishing destination for submissions that build upon the psychiatric knowledge base and bring research findings closer to clinical utility through deeper investigation. PRCP seeks to occupy that place between research and clinical utility, leaning toward clinical utility through publication of replication studies and features that show how new scientific knowledge can inform clinical practice. The journal will also feature “Clinical Pearls”—accounts by clinicians using the findings from the most up-to-date clinical research to help solve problems commonly confronted in clinical practice.
Psychiatric Services, established in 1950, is published monthly by the American Psychiatric Association. The peer-reviewed journal features research reports on issues related to the delivery of mental health services, especially for people with serious mental illness in community-based treatment programs. Authors of research reports published in the journal include psychiatrists, psychologists, pharmacists, nurses, social workers, drug and alcohol treatment counselors, economists, policy analysts, and professionals in related systems such as criminal justice and welfare systems. In the mental health field, the current focus on patient-centered, recovery-oriented care and on dissemination of evidence-based practices is transforming service delivery systems at all levels.
