Call for Papers

Group Dynamics: Theory, Research, and Practice, the official journal of APA Division 49 (Group Psychology and Group Psychotherapy), is a peer-reviewed journal in the interdisciplinary field of group dynamics and group psychotherapy.

The Editor is looking for original empirical articles, theoretical analyses, literature reviews, and brief reports dealing with basic and applied topics in the field of group dynamics.

The journal seeks manuscripts that examine social psychological analyses of group processes and groups in organizational settings, as well as manuscripts dealing with the dynamics of therapeutic groups. Theoretically driven studies of hypotheses that have implications for understanding and improving groups in organizational, educational, and therapeutic settings are particularly encouraged.

Authors of manuscripts examining basic theory and research should identify implications for more applied topics, and authors of manuscripts dealing with more applied topics should draw conclusions that are relevant to basic research and theory.

Manuscript Submissions

Authors should follow the guidelines in the Publication Manual of the American Psychological Association (5th ed.) when preparing manuscripts. Manuscripts must include an abstract of approximately 120 words (maximum of 960 characters, including spaces) that succinctly summarizes the key points. Authors should avoid using abbreviations, symbols, and footnotes. Manuscripts cannot exceed 30 pages, including references, tables, and figures. Brief reports cannot exceed 15 pages.

Authors wishing masked reviews must request them when submitting their work and prepare their manuscript so that they cannot be identified. In addition to addresses and telephone numbers, authors should include email addresses and fax numbers if available. Authors should also list two to five key words to identify the contents of their paper.

All papers should be submitted electronically through the Manuscript Submission Portal.
