About This Journal
The International Review of Psychiatry & Mental Health is a Taylor & Francis Academic journal dedicated to publishing high-quality research across the full spectrum of psychiatry, clinical psychology, and mental health services. The journal is particularly known for its thematic review issues that synthesise research on specific disorders or treatment approaches, alongside original empirical research. It is read widely by psychiatrists, clinical psychologists, mental health nurses, and policy researchers.
Aims & Scope
The journal publishes research across all areas of psychiatry and clinical psychology:
• Mood disorders: major depression, bipolar disorder, seasonal affective disorder, and treatment-resistant depression
• Anxiety and related disorders: generalised anxiety, PTSD, OCD, and phobias
• Psychotic disorders: schizophrenia, schizoaffective disorder, and early psychosis
• Neurodevelopmental disorders: autism spectrum disorder, ADHD, and specific learning disorders
• Addictions: substance use disorders, behavioural addictions, and dual diagnosis
• Eating and feeding disorders: anorexia, bulimia, and binge-eating disorder
• Personality disorders and complex trauma
• Psychotherapy and psychological interventions: CBT, DBT, ACT, and psychodynamic approaches
• Psychiatric epidemiology: prevalence, incidence, and burden of mental illness
• Global mental health: low- and middle-income country contexts, cultural psychiatry, and service access
Both quantitative research and qualitative studies of clinical relevance are within scope.
