The CME Concept

The CME concept that KJP up2date embodies — the certified continuing medical education through the journal — is the specialty's professional development: the directly applicable, evidence-based, guideline-compliant (leitliniengerecht) practice knowledge, delivered continuously. The journal's promise: the Fortbildung that keeps the entire specialty in view — not just the psychiatry but the psychology, the psychotherapy, the psychosomatics; not just the diagnoses but the methods, the lifespan, the environment, the collaboration, the frameworks.

The concept serves the high-demand practitioners: everyone treating children and adolescents with high standards needs the current, evidence-based, guideline-compliant knowledge. The step-by-step instructions and the concrete case examples make it applicable; the SOPs and workflows secure the quality. The free binder with the topic register organizes the learning. In the medical publishing where the CME journals often narrow to the test questions, KJP up2date's comprehensive curriculum alignment — the KJP curriculum, the multiaxial approach — is the distinction: the whole specialty's Fortbildung, the practitioners' companion.

History

KJP up2date is the Thieme up2date family's child-and-adolescent-psychiatry title: the Stuttgart medical publisher's CME journal series (alongside titles like Kardiologie up2date) extended into the KJP specialty. The journal's second issue — introduced by editors Katajun Lindenberg and Raphael Gutzweiler — set the tone: the successful interdisciplinary collaboration between the KJP professions celebrated, the (social) pedagogy's special role within child and adolescent psychiatry honored with its own CME article, the biopsychosocial approach of social psychiatry presented in a comprehensive CME overview.

The journal's mission responds to the specialty's needs: the prevention of mental disorders in children and adolescents — where much remains to be done, the evidence and the legal frameworks surveyed, the relevant professional groups encouraged to jointly improve the conditions. The up2date concept — the continuous education keeping the whole field in view — serves the high-demand specialty.

Coverage and Content

The rubrics structure the continuing education: "Symptome und Syndrome" (all relevant diagnoses from ICD-10 and ICD-11), "Toolbox" (methods and procedures for diagnostics and therapy), "Lifespan" (clinical pictures across the developmental phases of children and adolescents and through life), "Schule, Gesellschaft und Familie" (the disorders' impact on the children's environment), "Perspektivwechsel" (the interdisciplinary approach and the collaboration of professional groups), "Berufspolitik, Recht und Ethik" (the framework conditions in the KJP).

The CME articles deliver the practice knowledge: the step-by-step guides, the case examples, the SOPs. The interdisciplinary focus honors the KJP's team nature: the (social) pedagogy, the social psychiatry with all relevant actors in the children's lifeworld, the legal frameworks considered. The journal serves the high-aspiration practitioners: everyone treating children and adolescents in the KJP professions.

The Thieme up2date Series

The up2date series is Thieme's CME journal family: the continuing-education journals with digital access, the certified CME articles, the practice-oriented knowledge. KJP up2date is the child-and-adolescent-psychiatry member: the specialty's Fortbildung keeping the whole field — psychiatry, psychology, psychotherapy, psychosomatics — in view. The series' concept (the directly applicable, evidence-based, guideline-compliant knowledge) defines the KJP title.

The Interdisciplinary Mission

The interdisciplinary mission that the editors set — celebrating the successful collaboration between the KJP professions — defines the journal beyond the CME: the child and adolescent psychiatry as the team specialty. The (social) pedagogy's special role within the KJP — the indispensable, historically not tension-free collaboration — gets its own CME article; the biopsychosocial approach of social psychiatry gets the comprehensive overview.

The mission serves the children's lifeworld: the social-psychiatric work means including all relevant actors in the children and adolescents' lifeworld and collaborating closely with them — the partners described, the legal frameworks considered, the comprehensive support of children and adolescents as the KJP professions' goal. The prevention focus — the evidence and the legal frameworks of preventing mental disorders in childhood and adolescence, the nearly impossible implementation in the relevant lifeworlds like daycare and school under current regulations, the call for the professional groups to jointly improve the conditions — shows the journal's ambition: not just the treatment knowledge but the system's improvement. In the CME journals where the interdisciplinarity is often a slogan, KJP up2date practices it: the pedagogy article, the social-psychiatry overview, the Perspektivwechsel rubric.

Organization and Ownership

KJP up2date is published by the Georg Thieme Verlag, Stuttgart; edited by Katajun Lindenberg and Raphael Gutzweiler. The journal's imprint is the Thieme medical publishing tradition.

The Rubrics System

The rubrics system that structures KJP up2date — Symptome und Syndrome, Toolbox, Lifespan, Schule/Gesellschaft/Familie, Perspektivwechsel, Berufspolitik/Recht/Ethik — is the curriculum in journal form: each rubric serving a dimension of the KJP practice. "Symptome und Syndrome" covers all relevant diagnoses from ICD-10 and ICD-11: the diagnostic foundation. "Toolbox" delivers the methods and procedures for diagnostics and therapy: the practical instruments. "Lifespan" follows the clinical pictures across the developmental phases and through life: the longitudinal view. "Schule, Gesellschaft und Familie" addresses the disorders' impact on the children's environment: the systemic view. "Perspektivwechsel" practices the interdisciplinary approach and the professional collaboration: the team view. "Berufspolitik, Recht und Ethik" covers the framework conditions: the professional view.

The system serves the comprehensive Fortbildung: the journal's issues each contributing across the rubrics, the binder's topic register organizing the articles by theme, the curriculum alignment ensuring the coverage. In the CME publishing where the articles often stand alone, KJP up2date's rubrics are the architecture: the specialty mapped, the learning structured, the practice served.
