Crisis Intervention and Time-Limited Treatment

Aims & Scope

Currently known as Journal of Loss and Trauma: International Perspectives on Stress & Coping.

In one forum, Journal of Loss and Trauma brings together scholarship on personal losses relating to family, health, and aging issues.

The journal addresses issues dealing with psychological and physical health and interpersonal losses relative to extended family, community life, and society as a whole.

In order to broaden the reader’s perspective on loss and bereavement, the journal defines loss as a major reduction in a person’s resources, whether personal, material, or symbolic, to which the person was emotionally attached.

Types of loss covered include: death and dying; dissolution and divorce; loss of employment; life-threatening diseases and long-term disability; loss of possessions; homelessness; recurring and haunting memories; disenfranchisement and stigmatization; losses resulting from war and violence; and aging.

The Journal of Loss & Trauma highlights common as well as differing impacts of major losses while revealing commonalities of the various healing processes.

Interdisciplinary in its approach, the journal publishes empirically-oriented papers, case studies with intervention strategies, point-counterpoint discussions, theoretical analyses, essays on concepts or links among relevant fields, and therapeutic approaches.

Book reviews are also regular features.
