About the journal
The publication of the book Psychotherapy by Reciprocal Inhibition (1958) by the co-founding editor of this Journal, Joseph Wolpe, marked a major change in the understanding and treatment of mental disorders. The book used principles from empirical behavioral science to explain psychopathological phenomena and the resulting explanations were critically tested and used to derive effective treatments.
The second half of the 20th century saw this rigorous scientific approach come to fruition. Experimental approaches to psychopathology, in particular those used to test conditioning theories and cognitive theories, have steadily expanded, and experimental analysis of processes characterising and maintaining mental disorders have become an established research area.
It is in this scientific tradition that the journal welcomes empirical contributions to the understanding and treatment of psychopathology. Such contributions may stem from various theoretical perspectives, such as learning theory, cognitive science, social psychology, developmental psychology, etc. The Journal primarily focuses on experimental tests of psychological approaches to mental disorders, though contributions from biology and / or non-experimental disciplines like epidemiology may be occasionally published. Papers to be published generally focus on:
- Differences between specific patient groups and other groups;
- Mechanisms that cause or perpetuate disorders; and finally;
- Diagnostic and therapeutical procedures;
Participants in the studies may be patients, healthy subjects or animals, depending on the relevance of the subject characteristics for the question to be answered.
Innovative case studies, and especially case series, and the results of pilot and interim tests will continue to be welcomed by the journal.
To emphasise the Aims and Scope of the Journal, a new subtitle will be used from 2000 onwards: "A Journal of Experimental Psychopathology". This indicates that the study of mental disorders is a multidisciplinary enterprise that draws on medical, behavioral and social approaches. It also expresses the importance of the use of experimental methods in the field of psychopathology.

Instructions to Authors
Submission to the journal prior to acceptance - Authors should submit their articles electronically via the Elsevier Editorial System (EES) page of this journal http://ees.elsevier.com/jbtep. The system automatically converts source files to a single Adobe Acrobat PDF version of the article, which is used in the peer-review process. Please note that even though manuscript source files are converted to PDF at submission for the review process, these source files are needed for further processing after acceptance. All correspondence, including notification of the Editor's decision and requests for revision, takes place by e-mail and via the Author's homepage, removing the need for a hard-copy paper trail.
For Editorial information and queries: Editorial Office, Journal of Behavior Therapy and Experimental Psychiatry, Department of Medical, Clinical and Experimental Psychology, PO Box 616, 6200 MD Maastricht, The Netherlands. E-mail: btep@dep.unimaas.nl
Submission of an article implies that the work described has not been published previously (except in the form of an abstract or as part of a published lecture or academic thesis), that it is not under consideration for publication elsewhere, that its publication is approved by all authors and tacitly or explicitly by the responsible authorities where the work was carried out, and that, if accepted, it will not be published elsewhere in the same form, in English or in any other language, without the written consent of the Publisher.
Presentation of manuscript Please write your text in good English (American or British usage is accepted, but not a mixture of these). Italics are not to be used for expressions of Latin origin, for example, in vivo, et al., per se. Use decimal points (not commas); use a space for thousands (10 000 and above). Use double spacing and wide (3 cm) margins. Avoid full justification, i.e., do not use a constant right-hand margin. Ensure that each new paragraph is clearly indicated.
Provide the following data on the title page (in the order given).
Title. Concise and informative. Titles are often used in information-retrieval systems. Avoid abbreviations and formulae where possible.
Author names and affiliations. Where the family name may be ambiguous (e.g., a double name), please indicate this clearly. Present the authors' affiliation addresses (where the actual work was done) below the names. Indicate all affiliations with a lower-case superscript letter immediately after the author's name and in front of the appropriate address. Provide the full postal address of each affiliation, including the country name, and, if available, the e-mail address of each author.
Corresponding author. Clearly indicate who is willing to handle correspondence at all stages of refereeing and publication, also post-publication. Ensure that telephone and fax numbers (with country and area code) are provided in addition to the e-mail address and the complete postal address.
Present/permanent address. If an author has moved since the work described in the article was done, or was visiting at the time, a 'Present address' (or 'Permanent address') may be indicated as a footnote to that author's name. The address at which the author actually did the work must be retained as the main, affiliation address. Superscript Arabic numerals are used for such footnotes.
Abstract. A concise and factual abstract is required (maximum length 100 words). The abstract should state briefly the purpose of the research, the principal results and major conclusions. An abstract is often presented separate from the article, so it must be able to stand alone. References should therefore be avoided, but if essential, they must be cited in full, without reference to the reference list.
Keywords. Immediately after the abstract, provide a maximum of 6 keywords, to be chosen from the APA list of index descriptors unless otherwise agreed with an Editor. These keywords will be used for indexing purposes.
Abbreviations. Define abbreviations that are not standard in this field at their first occurrence in the article: in the abstract but also in the main text after it. Ensure consistency of abbreviations throughout the article.
N.B. Acknowledgements. Collate acknowledgements in a separate section at the end of the article and do not, therefore, include them on the title page, as a footnote to the title or otherwise.
N.B. Review process. In accordance with the policy of blind reviewing, the first page of the actual manuscript should not contain the author's name or institutional affiliation but only the title of the manuscript. Every effort should be made by authors to see that the manuscript itself contains no clues to their identity.
Type of Contributions Original research, Case reports, Operant studies
A case report, to be acceptable, must embody one of the following: (1) a new and original method, target behavior or population; (2) an apparently advantageous variation of a previous method; (3) an observation of considerable interest; (4) an unusually clear account of the use of an accepted method. Wherever possible, quantitative data for baseline and follow-up should be presented. Follow-up data should be at least six months' duration (twelve months for addictive and certain other behavior). In relevant contexts, there should be evidence of generalization of change from the clinic to the home or other natural environments.
For operant studies, use of ABAB designs are favoured. Instances in which this design is not employed may be acceptable if (a) the particular circumstances did not allow or make feasible the ABAB design, and/or (b) there are innovative or unusual features worthy of attention. Furthermore, studies that document generalization effects are preferred.
Manuscripts reporting the use of aversive or punishment procedures will generally not be accepted if non-aversive procedures have previously been shown to be effective for the target behaviors and/or clinical populations concerned. Such manuscripts will be considered only if the aversive procedure has overwhelming advantages and if free of undesirable side-effects. The authors should briefly indicate their awareness of other relevant literature.
Paper Length. The high publication costs, plus limitation of space, make it essential that authors present as brief a manuscript as possible. In no instances will a manuscript exceeding 15 typewritten pages of text be considered.
Arrangement of the article Subdivision of the article. Divide your article into clearly defined and numbered sections. Subsections should be numbered 1.1 (then 1.1.1, 1.1.2, ?), 1.2, etc. (the abstract is not included in section numbering). Use this numbering also for internal cross-referencing: do not just refer to 'the text.' Any subsection may be given a brief heading. Each heading should appear on its own separate line.
Appendices. If there is more than one appendix, they should be identified as A, B, etc. Formulae and equations in appendices should be given separate numbering: (Eq. A.1), (Eq. A.2), etc.; in a subsequent appendix, (Eq. B.1) and so forth.
Acknowledgements. Place acknowledgements, including information on grants received, before the references, in a separate section, and not as a footnote on the title page.
References Responsibility for the accuracy of bibliographic citations lies entirely with the authors Citations in the text: Please ensure that every reference cited in the text is also present in the reference list (and vice versa). Any references cited in the abstract must be given in full. Unpublished results and personal communications should not be in the reference list, but may be mentioned in the text. Citation of a reference as 'in press' implies that the item has been accepted for publication. Citing and listing of web references. As a minimum, the full URL should be given. Any further information, if known (author names, dates, reference to a source publication, etc.), should also be given. Web references can be listed separately (e.g., after the reference list) under a different heading if desired, or can be included in the reference list. Text: Citations in the text should follow the referencing style used by the American Psychological Association. You are referred to the Publication Manual of the American Psychological Association, Fifth Edition, ISBN 1-55798-790-4, copies of which may be ordered from http://www.apa.org/books/4200061.html or APA Order Dept., P.O.B. 2710, Hyattsville, MD 20784, USA or APA, 3 Henrietta Street, London, WC3E 8LU, UK. Details concerning this referencing style can also be found at http://linguistics.byu.edu/faculty/henrichsenl/ apa/apa01.html List: References should be arranged first alphabetically and then further sorted chronologically if necessary. More than one reference from the same author(s) in the same year must be identified by the letters "a", "b", "c", etc., placed after the year of publication.
