History
The journal was established in September 1971 under the editorship of Dana Farnsworth and Howard P. Rome.[1][2] It was published by Insight Communications[3] In 1975, Francis Braceland became co-editor.[2] In 1977 the journal published a collection of articles in book format, titled Psychiatrists and the legal process : diagnosis and debate. The articles had previously been published in the journal in the period 1973–1977.[4] Nancy Arnold Roeske became editor in the early 1980s, when Farnsworth and Braceland stepped down.[2]
In 1980 the publication was acquired by Charles B. Slack (later shortened to just Slack).[5] Roeske continued as editor until her death in 1986. In the wake of this circumstance Howard Rome assumed the main editorial responsibility.[2] In 1988 the journal focused on problems of adolescent medical care in its December issue.[6]
In 1992 the journal welcomed Jan Fawcett to the editorial board. Fawcett took on responsibilities as co-editor alongside Howard Rome,[2] and stayed on as editor of the journal until 2018.[7]
In April 2018 SLACK Incorporated announced that it was introducing a new format and a new editor, Andrew A. Nierenberg, to the journal. New features included a mix of peer-reviewed articles, original research, and case reports; peer-tested content; updated printing design; and a new editorial board.[7]
