《心理医学与精神病理学杂志》（Journal of Psychological Medicine and Mental Pathology）指出了其创始编辑福布斯·温斯洛（Forbes Benign us Winslow）雄心勃勃的目标：“建立一个致力于讨论与人类精神异常状态有关的问题的期刊”（温斯洛，1848）。温斯洛的日记的结构和内容是基于他的心理医学概念，不仅包括精神疾病，还包括从医学角度对异常行为的研究。在这一观点上，他远远领先于他的时代。这本杂志并没有在他之后存活很长时间，但是心理医学作为一个概念和一个不同于精神病学的术语，慢慢地在英国医学思想中确立了自己的地位。然而，一个多世纪过去了，才出现了另一本专门讨论这一主题的杂志。作为它的创始编辑，我试图总结它发起的精神：“我们最初的任务是解决三个问题，即防尘套的颜色，目标的一致性和标题。第一个问题很容易解决：因为精神病学中没有什么是黑色或白色的，灰色显然是首选的颜色。关于目标，我们最初考虑的是针对精神病学教授的教育：但他们无所不知的光环似乎是不可穿透的，所以我们决定集中精力在精神病学及其相关学科的广泛范围内进行原创的，高质量的工作，以实现不可或缺的目标。在这样做的过程中，我们实际上被迫恢复温斯洛的头衔“（谢泼德，1986）。
Journal of Psychological Medicine and Mental Pathology, indicated the ambitious objectives of its founder editor, Forbes Benign us Winslow-'to establish a periodical devoted to the discussion of questions in relation to the Human Mind in its abnormal condition'(Winslow, 1848). The structure and contents of Winslow's journal were based on his notion of psychological medicine, incorporating not only mental illness but also the study of abnormal behaviour from the medical standpoint. In this conception he was well ahead of his time. The journal did not long survive him but psychological medicine, as a concept and as a term distinct from and broader than psychiatry, slowly established itself within the body of British medical thinking. More than a century was to pass, however, before the appearance of another journal devoted explicitly to the theme. As its founder editor I have tried to summarize the spirit in which it was launched:'Our initial task was to tackle 3 questions, namely the colour of the dust-jacket, an agreement on objectives, and a title. The first was easily resolved: since nothing in psychiatry is black or white, grey was evidently the colour of choice. With regard to objectives, we had thought originally of aiming at the education of professors of psychiatry: but their halo of omniscience appeared to be impenetrable, so we settled for the goal of indispensability by determing to concentrate on original, high-quality work across the wide spectrum of both psychiatry and its allied disciplines. In so doing we were virtually compelled to resurrect Winslow's title'(Shepherd, 1986).
