In Appreciation

This issue marks the end of the eighteenth year of publication of The Journal of Neuropsychiatry and Clinical Neurosciences . Whatever success has been achieved in developing a periodical that is useful and of high quality is the result of the extraordinary efforts of many talented and dedicated professionals working together as a team. We thank, in particular, Sandra Patterson, editorial director; Michael Roy, editorial manager; Rosy Lum, assistant editor; and the rest of the outstanding staff of American Psychiatric Publishing, Inc. We thank our preeminent consulting, associate, and features editors, whose names are listed on the masthead of every issue. We express our gratitude to the officers and members of the American Neuropsychiatric Association for their visionary leadership in the field, their loyalty, and their countless contributions to the Journal. We thank Claudia Burns, Lynn Sanders, and the executive secretarial team of the departments of psychiatry at the Baylor College of Medicine and the University of California-Davis campus, who never fall behind in the timely management of information between our academic “homes.” Finally, and most critical to the maintenance of the highest scientific and editorial standards, we thank our many peer reviewers who have spent untold hours in the precise and meticulous review of the manuscripts submitted to the Journal. As a small measure of gratitude, we list below the names of the peer reviewers who participated in this process in the year beginning August 31, 2005 and ending August 31, 2006.
