Person-Centered and Experiential Psychotherapies seeks to create a dialogue among different parts of the
person-centered and experiential tradition, to support, inform, and challenge each other and to stimulate their creativity and impact in a broader professional, scientific and political context. The mission of the journal is thus to encourage, and disseminate worldwide, new work on person-centered and experiential therapies, including philosophy, theory, practice, training and research. The journal will not give preference to any parts of the world, nor to any philosophical or theoretical emphases within these approaches, but will instead seek to increase our awareness and appreciation of each other’s contributions, maintaining a spirit of inclusiveness to the whole person-centered and experiential field of psychotherapy and counseling.
