About the journal

Psychology and Psychotherapy: Theory Research and Practice (formerly The British Journal of Medical Psychology) is an international journal with a focus on the psychological aspects of mental health, psychological problems and their psychotherapeutic treatments. Its aim has been to bring together the psychiatric and psychological disciplines and this is reflected in the composition of the Editorial Team. Nevertheless we welcome submissions from mental health professionals and researchers from all relevant professional backgrounds. The traditional orientation of the Journal has been towards psychodynamic and interpersonal approaches, which have defined its core identity, but we now additionally welcome submissions of original theoretical and research-based papers of any theoretical provenance provided they have a bearing upon |
vulnerability to, adjustment to, assessment of, and recovery (assisted or otherwise) from psychological disorders. The Journal thus aims to promote theoretical and research developments in the fields of subjective psychological states and dispositions, interpersonal attitudes, behaviour and relationships and psychological therapies (including both process and outcome research) where mental health is concerned. Submission of systematic reviews and other research reports which support evidence-based practice is also welcomed. Clinical or case studies will be considered only if they illustrate particularly unusual forms of psychopathology or innovative forms of therapy which carry important theoretical implications.
Counselling Psychology: A special section on counselling psychology has been created in the journal in recognition of the importance of this area within psychology and psychotherapy. This section aims to promote theoretical and research developments in the field of counselling psychology. Authors who wish to submit their papers for consideration in this section should state this in their covering letter.

Instructions to Authors
1. Circulation
1. The circulation of the Journal is worldwide. There is no restriction to British authors; papers are invited and encouraged from authors throughout the world.
2. Length
1. Pressure on Journal space is considerable and papers should be as short as is consistent with clear presentation of the subject matter. Papers should normally be no more than 5,000 words, although the Editor retains discretion to publish papers beyond this length.
3. Refereeing
1. The journal operates a policy of anonymous peer review. Papers will normally be scrutinised and commented on by at least two independent expert referees (in addition to the Editor) although the Editor may process a paper at his or her discretion. The referees will not be made aware of the identity of the author. All information about authorship including personal acknowledgements and institutional affiliations should be confined to a removable front page (and the text should be free of such clues as identifiable self-citations (¡®In our earlier work...¡¯)).
4. Submission requirements
(a) Four copies of the manuscript should be sent to the Editor (Professor Phil Richardson, Journals Department, The British Psychological Society, St. Andrews House, 48 Princess Road East, Leicester, LE1 7DR, UK). Submission of a paper implies that it has not been published elsewhere and that it is not being considered for publication in another journal. Papers should be accompanied by a signed letter indicating that all named authors have agreed to the submission. One author should be identified as the correspondent and that person¡¯s title, name and address supplied.
(a) Contributions must be typed in double spacing with wide margins and on only one side of each sheet. All sheets must be numbered.
(a) Tables should be typed in double spacing, each on a separate piece of paper with a self-explanatory title. Tables should be comprehensible without reference to the text. They should be placed at the end of the manuscript with their approximate locations indicated in the text.
(a) Figures are usually produced direct from authors¡¯ originals and should be presented as good black or white images preferably on high contrast glossy paper, carefully labelled in initial capital/lower case lettering with symbols in a form consistent with text use. Unnecessary background patterns, lines and shading should be avoided. Paper clips leave damaging indentations and should be avoided. Any necessary instructions should be written on an accompanying photocopy. Captions should be listed on a separate sheet.
(b) All articles should be preceded by an Abstract of 200 words, giving a concise statement of the intention and results or conclusions of the article.
(a) Bibliographic references in the text should quote the author¡¯s name and the date of publication thus: Smith (1994). Multiple citations should be given alphabetically rather than chronologically: (Jones, 1998; King, 1996; Parker, 1997). If a work has two authors, cite both names in the text throughout: Page and White (1995). In the case of reference to three or more authors, use all names on the first mention and et al. thereafter except in the reference list.
(c) References cited in the text must appear in the list at the end of the article. The list should be typed in double spacing in the following format:
a) Herbert, M. (1993). Working with children and the Children Act (pp. 76-106). Leicester: The British Psychological Society.
a) Neeleman, J., & Persaud, R. (1995). Why do psychiatrists neglect religion? British Journal of Medical Psychology, 68, 169-178.
b) Particular care should be taken to ensure that references are accurate and complete. Give all journal titles in full.
(b) SI units must be used for all measurements, rounded off to practical values if appropriate, with the Imperial equivalent in parentheses (see The British Psychological Society Style Guide at: http://www.bps.org.uk/publications/jAuthor.cfm).
(a) Authors are requested to avoid the use of sexist language.
(d) Authors are responsible for acquiring written permission to publish lengthy quotations, illustrations etc for which they do not own copyright.

The file must be sent as a MIME-compatible attachment. E-mails should be addressed to journals@bps.org.uk with 'Manuscript submission' in the subject line. The main body of the e-mail should include the following: title of journal to which the paper is being submitted; name, address and e-mail of the corresponding author; and a statement that the paper is not currently under consideration elsewhere. E-mail submissions will receive an e-mail acknowledgement of receipt, including a manuscript reference number.
6. Brief reports
5. These should be limited to 1000 words and may include research studies and theoretical, critical or review comments whose essential contribution can be made briefly. A summary of not more than 50 words should be provided.
7. Ethical considerations
5. The code of conduct of The British Psychological Society requires psychologists ¡®Not to allow their professional responsibilities or standards of practice to be diminished by consideration of religion, sex, race, age, nationality, party politics, social standing, class or other extraneous factors. The Society resolves to avoid all links with psychologists and psychological organizations and their formal representatives that do not affirm and adhere to the principles in the clause of its Code of Conduct. In cases of doubt, authors may be asked to sign a document confirming the adherence to these principles. Any study published in this journal must pay due respect to the well-being and dignity of research participants. The British Psychological Society¡¯s Ethical Guidelines on Conducting Research with Human Participants must be shown to have been scrupulously followed. These guidelines are available at http://www.bps.org.uk/about/rules5.cfm
5. Supplementary data
1. Supplementary data too expensive for publication may be deposited with the British Library Document Supply Centre. Such material includes numerical data, computer programs, fuller details of case studies and experimental techniques. The material should be submitted to the Editor together with the article, for simultaneous refereeing.
6. Proofs
2. Proofs are sent to authors for correction of print but not for rewriting or the introduction of new material. Fifty complimentary copies of each paper are supplied to the senior author, but further copies may be ordered on a form accompanying the proofs.
7. Copyright
2. To protect authors and journals against unauthorised reproduction of articles, The British Psychological Society requires copyright to be assigned to itself as publisher, on the express condition that authors may use their own material at any time without permission. On acceptance of a paper submitted to a journal, authors will be requested to sign an appropriate assignment of copyright form.
