Psychiatry Online

PsychiatryOnline is a web-based research portal from the American Psychiatric Publishing, Inc. (APPI) providing online access to major print reference materials and journals in the area of psychiatry.  Included are the DSM® Library featuring the popular Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders - DSM-IV-TR®, and the American Journal of Psychiatry.

In addition to these essential psychiatric reference sources, PsychiatryOnline provides online access to major psychiatric textbooks, and to the American Psychiatric Association Practice Guidelines, which provide evidence-based recommendations for the assessment and treatment of psychiatric disorders.

A convenient A-Z Index is available for browsing topics related to psychiatry, as well as hyperlinked bibliographic references to books, journal articles, and APA Guidelines. References that are not a part of PsychiatryOnline materials lead to the abstract by way of PubMed.

Also, users can downloard a free PDF version of the Book of the Month from the American Psychiatric Publishing, Inc. (APPI).

Additionally, users can take advantage of the Self-Assessment tools for study, certification, and recertification review.

GMU-affiliated patrons have both campus-wide and remote access to PsychiatryOnline. The database is accessible from the University Libraries’ Databases website.
