History

The journal was established in January 1956 as The Canadian Psychiatric Association Journal/La revue de l'association canadienne de psychiatrie.[1] The journal started as a quarterly publication, under its founding editor-in-chief, F. Rhodes Chalke.[2] He was succeeded in 1972 by Frederick Lowy, who remained until 1976.[3] Publication changed from bimonthly in 1974 to eight issues a year in 1975. Edward Kingstone took over as editor in 1977.[4] The journal obtained its current name in 1979.[5] He was succeeded in 1995 by Quentin Rae-Grant, who remained until 2004.[6] In 2004, the journal started publishing monthly.[7] Joel Paris became editor-in-chief in October 2004, continuing this role for 10 years.[8] The current editor is Scott Patten, who has been in this role since 2014 [9] The journal published 14 issues per year in 2005 and 2006, but returned to a monthly frequency in 2007.[10] An electronic version of the journal was launched in January 2012. Because of the advertising, web access was restricted to members only in 2012 to avoid direct-to-consumer advertising. Articles had been freely accessible since 2002. In 2013, paid subscribers were also allowed access.[11] As the Journal is now published by SAGE, access is governed by that company's policies. All members of the Canadian Psychiatric Association receive a subscription as a membership benefit.
