  Call For Papers 
Feb 15, 2001

The Journal will commence publication with two special issues:

(1) New Developments in Person-Centered and Experiential Psychotherapy.  The first issue of the Journal will address new developments in Person-Centered and Experiential therapies.  These may be developments in regard to our understanding of the philosophies reflected by the approach, the theory underpinning it, its practice, and current research (including research reviews).

(2) The Continuing Contributions of Carl Rogers to Psychotherapy and Counseling.  The second issue of the Journal will be devoted to new work on the continuing legacy and influences of Carl Rogers to theory, practice, training and research in psychotherapy and counseling.  We are particularly interested in pieces that address Rogers' contributions in light of challenges from biological/medical and other theoretical approaches, evidence-based mental health, and developments in contemporary society such as globalization.  Such pieces might include extrapolating the trajectory of Rogers' thought to these and other current developments.

Contributions of different lengths are invited, including both standard article-length pieces of 3000-5000 words (including references) and shorter reports and reviews of 1000-2,500 words. It is hoped to set in place a ‘fast-track’ refereeing procedure for the first volume of the journal. This should allow an article to be reviewed by three international referees and for collated feedback to be given within a six to eight week period.
