According to the Journal Citation Reports, the journal has a 2022 impact factor of 2.6. [1] It is abstracted and indexed in PubMed, Psychological Abstracts, BIOSIS Previews, Chemical Abstracts Service, Current Contents/Social & Behavioral Sciences, Embase, Elsevier Biobase, MEDLINE, Scopus, and the Social Sciences Citation Index.
Biological psychopathology attempts to explain psychiatric disorders using multiple levels of analysis from the genome to brain functioning to behavior. Although closely related to clinical psychology, it is fundamentally an interdisciplinary approach that attempts to synthesize methods across fields such as neuroscience , psychopharmacology ...
Risk factors for mental illness include psychological trauma, adverse childhood experiences, genetic predisposition, and personality traits. [7] [8] Correlations between mental disorders and substance use are also found to have a two way relationship, in that substance use can lead to the development of mental disorders and having mental disorders can lead to substance use/abuse.
A huge amount of research has been carried out within the framework of the medical model and this has greatly increased our understanding of the possible biological factors underpinning psychological disorders. However, much of the evidence is inconclusive and findings can be difficult to interpret.
The impact factor was devised by Eugene Garfield, the founder of the Institute for Scientific Information (ISI) in Philadelphia. Impact factors began to be calculated yearly starting from 1975 for journals listed in the Journal Citation Reports (JCR). ISI was acquired by Thomson Scientific & Healthcare in 1992, [4] and became known as Thomson ISI.
Psychopathology is a peer-reviewed medical journal published by Karger Publishers for over 125 years [1].Established in 1897 as Monatsschrift für Psychiatrie und Neurologie by Samuel Karger and German doctors Carl Wernicke and Theodor Ziehen, the journal continued in 1957 as Psychiatria et Neurologia, which split in 1968 into Psychiatria Clinica and European Neurology.

[1] A large range of differences exists among individuals' vulnerabilities to the development of a disorder. [1] [2] The diathesis, or predisposition, interacts with the individual's subsequent stress response.
Biological psychiatry or biopsychiatry is an approach to psychiatry that aims to understand mental disorder in terms of the biological function of the nervous system.It is interdisciplinary in its approach and draws on sciences such as neuroscience, psychopharmacology, biochemistry, genetics, epigenetics and physiology to investigate the biological bases of behavior and psychopathology.
