About Psychiatry 2008 [ISSN 1550-5952]
Launched as Psychiatry 2004, the Journal title is updated each year with the year designation; thus, for 2009, the title becomes Psychiatry 2009 [ISSN 1550-5952]. Psychiatry 2008 is published monthly by Matrix Medical Communications in Edgemont, Pennsylvania.
As psychiatric disorders are becoming more prevalent in the United States and abroad, today’s psychiatrist needs to stay informed on numerous topics related to the field. Patients are becoming more informed through direct-to-consumer advertising, the Internet, and various media outlets. Increasingly inquisitive patients, rising malpractice costs, and the implementation of HIPAA guidelines and Medicare Part D place tremendous pressure on practicing psychiatrists to keep up to date on several facets within the specialty and numerous asides that impact their practice and overall patient care. This is where Psychiatry 2008 comes in, providing pertinent information on vastly desirable topics from highly influential and respected leaders in the field.
Psychiatry 2008 is a peer-reviewed monthly publication that has become an important addition to the field of psychiatry. Under the expert editorial leadership of Amir Kalali, MD, Psychiatry 2008 provides 40,000 US psychiatrists with evidence-based information in a practical format that can be applied to their daily practices. Psychiatry 2008 is the only peer-reviewed journal that translates the vast amounts of psychiatric and CNS research into applicable information for the practicing clinician. Psychiatry 2008 offers its readers original research, practical discussions on the latest research, comprehensive reviews, didactic case reports, and provocative commentaries on contemporary topics in psychiatry—written by key opinion leaders as well as practicing clinicians who are “in the trenches”—providing vital balance to the research-rich literature that is already available.
Psychiatry 2008 is now indexed on PsycINFO (www.apa.org), which is the most comprehensive and authoritative publisher of bibliographic reference sources in psychology, covering scholarly publications in psychology, psychiatry, and related fields, and on CINAHL® (www.cinahl.org), the Cumulative Index to Nursing and Allied Health Literature®.
Psychiatry 2008 is the foundation of the multimedia platform from which Matrix Medical Communications (MMC) provides information to the psychiatric community. Given the practice settings and the special interests of nearly 40,000 psychiatrists, our goal is to provide our information in print, on the Web, and on CD-ROM.
