Abstract :
The advancement of psychiatric education and foundation of several research centers
in psychiatry and behavioral sciences and promotion of mental health services throughout
the country, resulted to the production of many high-standard psychiatric research works.
Therefore, to publish the results of such research projects, and their theoretical and practical
implications, a scientific journal with well-defined objectives, domains, and scope is
seriously needed. Regarding the importance of communication and sharing our ideas,
conceptualizations and research reports with our colleagues in different parts of the world,
we decided to publish the journal in English.
