Mission
and Editorial Policy 
The American Journal of Psychiatry is committed to keeping the field of psychiatry vibrant and relevant by publishing the latest advances in the diagnosis and treatment of mental illness. The findings presented in this journal explore the full spectrum of issues related to mental health diagnoses and treatment. Original articles include new developments in diagnosis, treatment, neuroscience, and patient populations.
New Features:
- AJP in Advance—As part of the Journal's commitment to bringing the latest research to the field faster, all research articles will now appear online in advance of their appearance in a print issue. AJP in Advance will be updated with new articles each month on the 1st and 15th (or the next business day).
- Treatment in Psychiatry Series—Each month a leading expert provides a hypothetical case vignette on a commonly encountered issue in patient care followed by a summary of the relevant research literature, plus offers recommendations of how to proceed with assessment and treatment.
- AJP Audio—Each online issue includes a 30-minute downloadable .mp3 format program that contains highlights and selected findings from the issue.
