About CURRENT PSYCHIATRY

WHAT IS CURRENT PSYCHIATRY?

Current Psychiatry was created for the busy psychiatrist. Each month we reach approximately 40,000 psychiatrists, residents, and advanced practice nurses with information that practicing clinicians can immediately apply to practice.

Published jointly by Quadrant HealthCom and the University of Cincinnati Department of Psychiatry, each issue features practical clinical reviews that present the latest evidence on diagnosing and treating psychiatric disorders in a concise, easy-to-read style. Working in concert with physician and staff editors who are well-versed in mental health issues, expert physicians offer their clinically tested insights on chronic and acute patient care.

Regular features include:

• Cases That Test Your Skills. Each month an author presents a challenging case and explains how her or she addressed it. Readers are invited to discuss how they would have treated the patient.
• Comments and Controversies. Our letters forum, in which readers respond to articles published in CURRENT PSYCHIATRY and sound off on other issues affecting clinical practice.
• Malpractice Rx, synopses of lawsuits stemming from psychiatric treatment, with expert commentary and advice on how psychiatrists can avoid litigation.
• Med/Psych Update, which highlights how systemic conditions affect psychiatric care and reviews the psychiatrist's role in detecting and managing such disorders.
• Out Of The Pipeline, a look at new psychiatric agents and their role in psychiatric treatment.
• Pearls, brief articles in which physicians on the front lines of psychiatry describe their solutions to commonly faced clinical challenges.
• Book Byte. Each month we highlight newly published clinical reference works and other books for mental health providers, with links to amazon.com for immediate purchase.

  Our Board of Editors, psychiatrists who are leaders within their areas of expertise, helps us keep up with changes in the profession. Reader surveys are conducted at regular intervals to further ensure that Current Psychiatry is meeting your needs.
