The Psychiatrist focuses on psychiatric service provision by dealing with clinical issues that affect everyday practice, written in an accessible style for practising psychiatrists of all levels. Prominence is given to training in psychiatry (with many papers by trainees) and informed comment and debate on topical issues in current psychiatric practice. A selection of Editorial Board members from overseas and a good number of submissions from outside Britain ensure that The Psychiatrist has a global perspective and influences psychiatric practice internationally. Each issue includes several substantial original research papers.
