  About Journal

The Mens Sana Research Foundation (MSRF) publishes the Mens Sana Monographs (ISSN 0973-1229), a Monograph Series Devoted to the Understanding of Medicine, Mental Health, Man and their Matrix.

The Mens Sana Monographs attempt to give in-depth understanding of Psychiatric/ Biomedical / Psychological/Philosophical consequences of social disorders / issues and current events, written in an easy to read format, avoiding technical jargon as far as possible, but based on evidence and research studies. Every monograph is to be followed by enlightened discussion on the issues raised by interested readers / scholars. You may forward your views / comments to the editors for incorporation, which may be suitably modified wherever necessary.

The Mens Sana Monographs provide a wide platform for serious discussion by psychiatrists, other medical scientists and clinicians, social scientists, philosophers, psychologists, sociologists and other thinkers interested in exploring social issues with scientific rigour.

Mens Sana Monographs were published bimonthly. From Jan 2007, MSM will be published annually.
