The American Journal of Psychiatric Rehabilitation features original research articles on psychiatric rehabilitation and recovery. As a recovery-oriented venue, only manuscripts that use person-first language will be considered. Descriptions of practice-based evidence are as welcome as reports of evidence-based practices. In addition, theoretical papers, reviews, and commentaries are encouraged if they contribute substantially to current knowledge. Reports of innovative ways to reduce barriers and promote access to, and retention in, care and to identify and eliminate health disparities are especially encouraged. Given that psychiatric rehabilitation is a multi-faceted concept, paper topics within may include, but are not limited to:
- rehabilitation interventions and community-based supports
- consumer-operated services and peer support
- stigma and discrimination and their elimination
- recovery, empowerment, and social inclusion
- strengths, goals, and needs assessments
- public policy
- integration with criminal justice and primary health care systems
- staff training and team development
Peer Review Policy: All published research articles in this journal have undergone rigorous peer review, based on initial editor screening, anonymous refereeing by independent expert referees, and consequent revision by article authors when required. The published article constitutes the final, definitive, and citable Version of Scholarly Record.
