My journal years, 1972 to 1977--a look back.

This article recalls the history of "The Canadian Journal of Psychiatry". The establishment of the publication by Doctor Rhodes Chalke as the scientific and professional voice of the Canadian Psychiatric Association, then still in its transition stage. The Journal was all-important to Rhodes, he was determined that it become a source of pride for Canadian psychiatrists an that it earn a place among international psychiatric publications. On the other hand, the Journal's policy of prioritizing contributions by Canadian authors was retained.
