I am delighted to introduce the Top Stories for 2008 in psychiatry. The editorial board for Journal Watch Psychiatry has determined the topics after carefully reviewing all of the past year’s summaries. In making our choices, we have tried to strike a balance between relevance to the clinician, recognition of landmark studies, and media publicity and public awareness. Each Top Story draws on several related summaries, and most include new citations to enlarge their scopes. The stories are arranged in no particular order, and their sequence is not intended to reflect their relative importance. All citations are from 2008, unless otherwise noted.
Our Top Stories for 2008 are:
The Emerging Evidence Base for Psychodynamic Psychotherapies
Psychosurgery — Beyond the Nobel Prize
Pediatric Psychopharmacology: Learning What We Don’t Know
Depression and Antidepressants in Pregnancy
Predictive Power of Genes: Stronger but Not Ready for the Clinic
