Psychology Today is a magazine published every two months in the United States. Founded in 1967 by Nicolas Charney, Ph.D, its intent is to make psychology literature more accessible to the general public. The magazine focuses on behavior and covers a range of topics including psychology, neuroscience, relationships, sexuality, parenting, health (including from the perspectives of alternative medicine), work,[2] and the psychological aspects of current affairs.[1]

The magazine's website features therapy and health professionals directories[1] and hundreds of blogs written by a wide variety of psychologists, psychiatrists, social workers, medical doctors, anthropologists, sociologists, and science journalists. Its current editor-in-chief is Kaja Perina.[3]

It has a circulation of 275,000 and claims 14.1 people read each copy for a total audience of 3,877,500.[1] From June 2010 to June 2011, it was the second top consumer magazine by newsstand sales.[4] In recent years, while many magazines have suffered in readership declines, Adweek, in 2013, noted Psychology Today's 36 percent increase in number of readers.[5]

Owned and managed by the American Psychological Association from 1983 to 1987,[6] the publication is currently endorsed by the National Board for Certified Counselors, which promotes subscriptions and offers professional credit for a small fee and assigned assessment for each article read.[7]
