The journal focuses on the overlap of philosophy, psychiatry, and abnormal psychology.

It includes book reviews, original works, and a variety of special columns.

The journal is published quarterly in March, June, September, and December by the Johns Hopkins University Press.

The journal is an aspect and element of a broader research activity reflecting the moulding and development of a new specialized system of knowledge, viz., the philosophy of psychiatry[1] which arose in the middle of the nineties[2] as an addition to both analytic philosophy and to the interpretation of mental health care.

[4] Along with the journal Philosophy, Psychiatry, and Psychology,[1] this new discipline has an international network[5] with regular conferences, numerous books,[6] institutions and the masters programme[7] based on the Oxford Textbook of Philosophy and Psychiatry.
