Dear Sophie
I don’t think there is a single main journal identifiable for mental
health; in fact I think the idea of establishing ‘one main journal per
disease area’ is pretty unrealistic. ‘Mental health’ is a
huge field and covers adults, older people, children and young people,
substance misuse, and learning disabilities. For psychiatry alone the
RCPsych’s document Key resources for
psychiatric libraries lists 27 core titles. In addition you have the
interdisciplinary, clinical psychology, nursing and PAMs titles.
