Applied and Preventive Psychology

Aims & Scope

Cessation.

Applied & Preventive Psychology: Current Scientific Perspectives publishes empirically-based theoretically-focused reviews of laboratory, survey, epidemiological, and public health research on the treatment and prevention of psychological problems.

Although data are the foundation of APP articles, theoretical elaborations of data are especially encouraged and afforded additional space.

APP scope is broad and interdisciplinary, encompassing prevention, intervention, and assessment as well as training, methodology, and philosophy of science.

Beyond its core audiences in clinical and counseling psychology and psychiatry, APP also seeks clinical extensions of basic cognitive, biological, developmental, family, personality, and social research.
