Welcome

GMS Psycho-Social-Medicine (P-S-M) is an open access journal that publishes articles from the entire area of psychosocial research in medicine. It is edited on an interdisciplinary level by eleven German scientific societies from the areas of behavioral medicine, medical psychology and sociology, psychiatry, psychosomatic medicine, and psychotherapy. P-S-M offers all scientists from the field of psychosocial medicine the possibility to publish their research online. Only high-ranking and quality-reviewed articles are accepted for publication.

The psychosocial societies supporting P-S-M have decided to discontinue the journal in 2013. However, it will be continued as a section of GMS German Medical Science – An Interdisciplinary Journal. New manuscripts can be submitted there.
