The British Journal of Psychiatry

Volume 216, Issue 3, March 2020 Published Online

The British Journal of Psychiatry (BJPsych) has collaborated with the World Psychiatric Association to examine the mental health aspects of disasters and trauma, aiming to strengthen the contribution of psychiatrists to reduce distress, illness and suicidal behavior among vulnerable populations.

Guest Editors: Prof. Jonathan Bisson, Prof. Michel Botbol, Prof Edgar Jones, Prof. Jan Kizilhan and Prof. Thomas Schulze
