Journal of Educational and Psychological Consultation

Aims & Scope

The Journal of Educational and Psychological Consultation (JEPC) provides a forum for improving the scientific understanding of consultation and for describing practical strategies to increase the effectiveness and efficiency of consultation services.

Consultation is broadly defined as a process that facilitates problem solving for individuals, groups, and organizations.

JEPC publishes articles and special thematic issues that describe formal research, evaluate practice, examine the program implementation process, review relevant literature, investigate systems change, discuss salient issues, and carefully document the translation of theory into practice.

Examples of topics of interest include individual, group, and organizational consultation; collaboration; community-school-family partnerships; consultation training; educational reform; ethics and professional issues; health promotion; personnel preparation; preferral interventions; prevention; program planning, implementation, and evaluation; school to work transitions; services coordination; systems change; and teaming.

Of interest are manuscripts that address consultation issues relevant to clients of all age groups, from infancy to adulthood.

Manuscripts that investigate and examine how culture, language, gender, race, ethnicity, religion, and exceptionality influence the process, content, and outcome of consultation are encouraged.

In addition to publishing research and theoretical articles, JEPC publishes one special column, The Consultant’s Corner.
