Professional Psychology: Research and Practice invites you to submit your high-quality paper on the practice applications of psychology, including the scientific underpinnings of the profession of psychology.
Papers that present prevention, assessment, treatment, and practice implications are encouraged. Quantitative, qualitative, and mixed-method empirical studies, and theoretical papers on techniques and practices used in the application of psychology, are acceptable.
For example, this journal is an appropriate outlet for papers addressing
- research and theory as they concern the interests of those in the practice of psychology;
- state-of-the-art literature reviews of clinical research on specific disorders written so as to draw out the implications for assessment and/or treatment;
- issues encountered in all practice settings and in a wide range of competencies and roles;
- work done at the individual, family, group, institutional, and community levels;
- legal, ethical, professional, and public policy issues related to the practice of psychology;
- current advances in applications from such subfields as health psychology, community psychology, psychology of women, clinical neuropsychology, family psychology, ethnic and cultural issues in psychological practice, forensic psychology, and other areas;
- standards of professional practice and delivery of services in a variety of contexts—industries, institutions, and other organization; and
- the development, implementation, and evaluation of programs at the primary, secondary, or tertiary levels of intervention.
The journal also welcomes brief reports on research or practice in professional psychology.
Professional Psychology: Research and Practice publishes every other month, starting in February.
All submissions will undergo rigorous, double-blind peer review.
Manuscripts must be submitted electronically through the journal’s electronic submissions siteopens in new window. For questions about the suitability of your paper for Professional Psychology: Research and Practice, please contact the editor, Susan J. Simonian, PhD, ABPP.
