Psychotherapy has been a mainstay of our field from its beginnings and remains a foundational skill of psychiatry, psychology, social work, and other mental health professions. However, psychotherapy researchers currently struggle for funding, and this area too often does not receive the attention it deserves.
To showcase work that advances knowledge of psychotherapies and their efficacy in alleviating suffering, JCP is calling for submissions to the Focus on Psychotherapy section, edited by John C. Markowitz, MD, and Rachel C. Vanderkruik, PhD. We invite high-quality original research and systematic reviews and welcome research on:
