Journals, Magazines, Article Collections and Searches
You might be better off in the Search for Articles, Chapters & More area of the Reference, Search & Research Tools, where you can search for articles through various free tools.
Remember to visit the Topical area for reading and resources pertaining for specific professional areas, diagnoses and so forth. Topics range from obviously clinical areas, to related professional areas such as political psychology and social work.
Also see the Professional Organizations category, where only organizations with substantial links to journals and article collections can be listed.

Large Publisher Collections

Specific Journals
This section is for journals that are especially relevant to mental health professionals and emphasizes those that have full-text articles. However, some especially good ones with abstracts are included. With so many journals available, I'm sure many, many good ones are not listed here.
Clinical Mental Health Practice
So that mental health clinicians can conveniently see listings specifically pertaining to clinical work such as psychotherapy and assessment. Of course, there are many such articles in the other journals and articles listings in the other categories in this section. Psychiatry journals, for example, contain very useful article for the non-physician mental health clinician. Clinicians should stay abrest of psychiatric publications to ensure that they are aware of issues in pharmacology such as new medications or concerns that directly affect their clients.

Psychiatric Journals
Many psychiatric journals contain articles of importance to the non-physician mental health clinician, that are not about psychopharmacology. However, they are specialized enough for a separate category. They are in the General unbralla category because they cover a broad area. Psychiatric and other journals that focus primarily on psychopharmacology are in the Topical umbralla category as such.

Journal of Medical Internet Research (JMIR)
From the site: The "Journal of Medical Internet Research" (JMIR; Medline-abbreviation: J Med Internet Res), founded in 1999, is the first international scientific peer-reviewed journal on all aspects of research, information and communication in the healthcare field using Internet and Intranet-related technologies; a broad field, which is nowadays called "eHealth" [see also What is eHealth and What is eHealth (2)]. This field has also significant overlaps with what is called "consumer health informatics.".
As eHealth is a highly interdisciplinary field we are not only inviting research papers from the medical sciences, but also from the computer, behavioral, social and communication sciences, psychology, library sciences, informatics, human-computer interaction studies, and related fields.
