How the CMHJ came to fall under the auspices of the AACP (part of an email from David Cutler to Gordon Clark, Founding President, on 3/15/23):
"I was asked to be editor of CMHJ around 1986 by the board of the National Council of Community Mental Health Centers. I'm sure you recall many many years ago I was also on the AACP board. It was I who back in about 1990 arranged for the AACP to co-sponsor the journal with the National Council. Part of that agreement was AACP agreed to make a journal subscription part of the membership dues thereby resulting in a win for both Human Sciences Press (financial) and AACP (it's very own academic journal). Unfortunately, The National Council could not afford to include the journal in its membership dues which later led to their dropping out and leaving the AACP solely sponsoring the journal. Over the years Human Sciences was bought by Plenum Press and then Springer bought Plenum I remained editor and essentially was in complete control of the journal. Before I retired from OHSU in 2005 I promoted Bentson McFarland who had been associate editor to be editor in chief. Bentson was an MD PhD (biostatistics) professor at OHSU and someone who had not only been extremely helpful due his multiple skills and expertise but was an ideal editor who strengthened the review process and also digitaslized the journal."
IMPACT FACTOR
Textbook of Community Psychiatry

The book is a timely update of this notable work that comprehensively presents the state of the art in this field. Along with continuously evolving scientific advances and principles of clinical care, community psychiatry must respond to shifts in public policy as well as economic climate. The past decade has witnessed significant political and social changes, including climate change, immigration levels, technological advancement, the influence of social media and the rise of political unrest. This new edition reflects these wider changes, incorporating new chapters and enhancing previous ones. It remains the standard text for certification of those working in healthcare and social welfare systems design and delivery of services.
Readers will gain knowledge of:
Basic pillars of the field
Evidence based interventions
Telepsychiatry and technological aids
Trauma informed services
Integrated health systems
Social determinants of health
