Editor Lays Out Plans For Geriatric Journal

Publication: Psychiatric News
Volume 36, Number 20

PDF/EPUB
The fall issue of the American Journal of Geriatric Psychiatry (AJGP) marks the first edition under its new editor in chief, Dilip Jeste, M.D. AJGP is the official journal of the American Association for Geriatric Psychiatry. It is published by American Psychiatric Publishing Inc.
Jeste and the journal’s editorial board have some significant changes in mind for the publication, which publishes quarterly. “The frequency of the journal,” said Jeste, “will be increased to bimonthly as soon as feasible. Then, we would like to publish monthly.”
Jeste is the Estelle and Edgar Levi Chair in Aging, a professor of psychiatry and neurosciences, and chief of the Geriatric Psychiatry Division at the University of California, San Diego, and the Veterans Affairs San Diego Health Care System. He assumed his new post on July 1 after completing a year of transition with the journal’s founding editor in chief, Gene Cohen, M.D., Ph.D.
Noting that between now and 2030 the population of elderly people with psychiatric disorders is estimated to double, Jeste said that the journal will need to focus on a multimodal approach to treatment of geriatric psychiatric disorders.
“I see as part of the mission of the journal,” Jeste emphasized, “both education and training for general psychiatrists and primary care physicians, and research into not only treatment, but also into prevention of geriatric psychiatric disorders.”
