Clinical Psychology Review

Aims & Scope

Clinical Psychology Review publishes substantive reviews of topics germane to clinical psychology.

Papers cover diverse issues including: psychopathology, psychotherapy, behavior therapy, cognition and cognitive therapies, behavioral medicine, community mental health, assessment, and child development.

Papers should be cutting edge and advance the science and/or practice of clinical psychology.

Reviews on other topics, such as psychophysiology, learning therapy, experimental psychopathology, and social psychology often appear if they have a clear relationship to research or practice in clinical psychology.

Integrative literature reviews and summary reports of innovative ongoing clinical research programs are also sometimes published.

Reports on individual research studies and theoretical treatises or clinical guides without an empirical base are not appropriate.
