Psychotherapy and Psychosomatics

Aims & Scope

As the volume of literature in the fields of psychotherapy and psychosomatics continues to grow, it becomes increasingly difficult to keep abreast of new and important developments, and to have independent, critical views on key clinical issues concerned with assessment and treatment of mental disorders.

Psychotherapy and Psychosomatics has progressively increased its reputation for independence, originality and methodological rigor.

It has anticipated and developed new lines of research concerned with psychosomatic medicine, psychotherapy research and psychopharmacology.

The journal features editorials and reviews on current and controversial issues; innovations in assessment and treatment; original investigations; literature updates; and a lively correspondence section.

It has become a unique and vital reference to current research and practice, the home of innovative thinking at the interface between medical and behavioral sciences.
