Introduction

The American Association of Community Psychiatrists (AACP) is a United States-based organisation of recovery-oriented and recovery focused psychiatrists, psychologists and social workers who primarily work in community-based settings.

The AACP has published a number of texts on community psychiatry.

Its most prominent publication is the peer-reviewed Community Mental Health Journal, published by Springer.
