Objectives & Scope

The journal Trends in Psychiatry and Psychotherapy is a peer-reviewed, multidisciplinary journal that assures rapid publication of current and original research papers and authoritative reviews produced by expert national and international bodies. The journal covers the broad spectrum of clinical psychiatry and basic science, with a focus on the interaction between experimental and clinical research. Other types of articles whose primary focus is to help translate fundamental discoveries from basic science into the reality of clinical psychiatric practice will also be considered (see types of articles accepted below). These may include papers on psychological processes and behavior, neuropsychology, psychopharmacology, clinical neuroscience, psychotherapy, and other areas of relevance to one or more aspects of psychopathology and psychiatry.

The journal uses the continuous article publication model and is the official scientific publication of Associação de Psiquiatria do Rio Grande do Sul (APRS, Brazil). The journal is fully open access (www.scielo.br/trends), and there are no publication fees. The journal’s manuscript submission web site is available at http://mc04.manuscriptcentral.com/trends-scielo.

Its abbreviated title is Trends Psychiatry Psychother, which should be used in bibliographies, footnotes and bibliographical references.
