The Journal of Psychosomatic Research is a multidisciplinary research journal covering all aspects of the relationships between psychology and medicine. The scope is broad and ranges from basic biological and psychological research, to evaluations of treatment and services. Papers will normally be concerned with illness or patients rather than studies of healthy populations. Studies concerning special populations, such as the elderly, and children and adolescents, are welcome. In addition to peer-reviewed original papers, the journal publishes editiorials, reviews and other papers related to the journal's aims.
