Archives of Women's Mental Health

Aims & Scope

Archives of Women’s Mental Health is the official journal of Marcé Society, the North American Society for Psychosocial Obstetrics and Gynecology (NASPOG) and the International Association for Women's Mental Health (IAWMH).

The exchange of knowledge between psychiatrists and obstetrician-gynecologists is one of the major aims of the journal.

Its international scope includes psychodynamics, social and biological aspects of all psychiatric and psychosomatic disorders in women.

The editors especially welcome interdisciplinary studies, focussing on the interface between psychiatry, psychosomatics, obstetrics and gynecology.

Archives of Women’s Mental Health publishes rigorously reviewed research papers, short communications, review articles, invited editorials, historical perspectives, book reviews, letters to the editor, as well as conference abstracts.

Only contributions written in English will be accepted.

The journal assists clinicians, teachers and researchers to incorporate knowledge of all aspects of women’s mental health into current and future clinical care and research.
