NEJM Journal Watch Psychiatry Recognizes AJP for Top Psychiatry Stories of 2018

In addition to being recognized as a top article by AJP editors (Psychiatric News, January 15, 2019), the study by Alain Brunet, Ph.D., and colleagues revealing the benefit of the beta-blocker propranolol for patients with PTSD was selected by NEJM Journal Watch Psychiatry as one of the top psychiatry stories of 2018.
“Propranolol presumably acts by altering the amount of emotional fear associated with the reconsolidation of activated memory traces,” Joel Yager, M.D., associate editor of NEJM Journal Watch Psychiatry wrote in comments reflecting on the study. “The simplicity of the intervention is noteworthy, but currently its routine employment would be premature,” he added. Yager is a professor of psychiatry at the University of Colorado.
The NEJM Journal Watch Psychiatry editorial board also recognized APA’s Practice Guideline for the Pharmacological Treatment of Patients With Alcohol Use Disorder (AUD), released in January 2018. The editors acknowledged APA’s efforts at educating physicians about the benefits and risks of approved AUD medications, which are simple to provide yet greatly underutilized. ■
