More About APPI
American Psychiatric Publishing, Inc. (APPI), is a wholly owned
subsidiary of the American Psychiatric
Association. Its purpose is twofold: to serve as the distributor
of publications of the Association and to publish books independent
of the policies and procedures of the American
Psychiatric Association. APPI has grown since its founding in
1981 into a full-service publishing house, including a staff of
editorial, production, marketing, and business experts devoted to
publishing for the field of psychiatry and mental health.
Under the direction of Robert E. Hales, M.D., and John McDuffie,
editorial acquisition and development have the highest priority
at APPI. APPI is unique in the extent to which it uses peer review
in both the selection and final approval of publishing projects.
Proposals are reviewed and developed at the earliest stages by an
Editorial Board that brings psychiatric expertise from a diverse
spectrum of psychiatry. Full manuscripts are then peer-reviewed
in their entirety, with final acceptance of the manuscript dependent
on appropriate response to the peer reviews. Each year more than
200 projects are reviewed by as many as 750 specialist reviewers,
and fewer than 30 are accepted in the typical year.
Marketing activities start soon after acceptance of the
project and begin in earnest once the final manuscript has been
accepted for publication. APPI mails promotional material to all
APA members and previous buyers at least twice each month and attends
more than 10 psychiatric meetings and conferences each year, making
its marketing efforts the most thorough of any in the field of psychiatry.
APPI also sends review copies to all major psychiatric journals
and any publications appropriate for a particular title. APPI books
have been reviewed in all major psychiatric journals as well as
the New England Journal of Medicine and JAMA.
Production uses the latest technology for editing, typesetting,
design, and printing publications. Nine months lead time from final
manuscript to official publication is optimal to ensure that all
marketing opportunities are realized, but APPI maintains its ability
to be flexible in scheduling time-sensitive products.
Customer service is a high priority at APPI. Orders and
queries come to us by phone (800 number), fax, e-mail, and regular
mail, as well as via our web site. Orders are processed at our headquarters
in Arlington, VA, and shipped from our warehouse in Illinois.
