Committed to keeping the field of psychiatry vibrant and relevant by publishing the latest advances in the diagnosis and treatment of mental illness, The American Journal of Psychiatry (AJP) is one of the most widely read psychiatric journals in the world and is the journal that the overwhelming majority of psychiatrists considers essential. Published monthly, it is an indispensable journal for all psychiatrists and other mental health professionals who need to stay on the cutting edge of virtually every aspect of psychiatry.

Highlights:

The American Journal of Psychiatry's latest Impact Factor is 19.242. (Clarivate Analytics, 2022)
A recent poll conducted by the BioMedical & Life Sciences Division of The Special Libraries Association identified the 100 most influential journals in all of Biology & Medicine over the last 100 years. The American Journal of Psychiatry was among those honored, the only psychiatry/psychology journal represented.

Features:

AJP in Advance—As part of the Journal's commitment to bringing the latest research to the field faster, all research articles now appear online in advance of their appearance in a print issue. AJP in Advance is updated with new articles on the 1st and 15th of each month (or the next business day).
Treatment in Psychiatry Series—Leading experts provide a hypothetical case vignette on commonly encountered issues in patient care followed by a summary of the relevant research literature, plus offers recommendations of how to proceed with assessment and treatment.
Clinical Case Conference Series— Complements the Treatment in Psychiatry series by giving additional practice oriented guidance by presenting actual patients (with disguised identities) who pose especially difficult or unique problems in diagnosis and treatment.
AJP Audio—Each online issue includes a 30-minute downloadable MP3 format program that contains highlights and selected findings from the issue.
Residents Journal—Each online issue is also accompanied by a FREE electronic publication produced specifically for psychiatry residents that features instructive cases, perspectives on training and career development, and discussions of unique clinical or educational programs along with special instructional columns from AJP Editors.

No other psychiatric journal reaches more psychiatrists with greater impact or immediacy than The American Journal of Psychiatry, the journal that the overwhelming majority of psychiatrists consider essential. The findings presented in AJP explore the full spectrum of issues related to mental health diagnoses and treatment, with editorials that place the most groundbreaking research into clinical context.
