DUBLIN--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/ad2407/the_international) has announced the addition of the "The International Journal of Psychiatry in Medicine" subscription to their offering.
This title bridges the gap between those publications that adopt an almost exclusive research orientation and those that are narrowly devoted to clinical psychiatry as a specialty apart from the mainstream of medicine.
The goal of the International Journal of Psychiatry in Medicine is to address the complex relationships among biological, psychological, social, religious and cultural systems in patient care. The aim of the journal is to provide a forum where researchers and clinicians in psychiatry and primary care from around the world can educate each other and advance knowledge concerning biological, psychological, and social theory, methods, and treatment as they apply to patient care.
This journal provides a forum for the discussion of:
- the relevance of psychobiological, psychological, social, familial, religious, and cultural factors in the development and treatment of illness;
- the relationship of patients to caretakers, and of both to illness;
- the impact of medicine's changing style on the broad scope of health care;
- the individualized significance of disease to a spectrum of people.
Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
- psychobiological, psychological, social, religious, and cultural modifiers of illness
- mental disorders seen and treated in outpatient practice
- doctor-patient interactions
- ethical issues in medicine
- biomedical etiologies of mental symptoms
- research from successful multi-disciplinary, collaborative models
- health services research.
The Journal publishes original research, review articles, innovative educational programs, editorials, and illustrative case reports.
