Studies that focus on populations that fall anywhere within the lifespan are considered JCCP welcomes submissions on treatment and prevention in all areas of clinical and clinical-health psychology and especially on topics that appeal to a broad clinical-scientist and practitioner audience. JCCP encourages the submission of theory-based interventions, studies that investigate mechanisms of change, and studies of the effectiveness of treatments in real-world settings. Studies on the following topics will be considered if they have clear implications for clinical research and practice: epidemiology; use of psychological services; health care economics for behavioral disorders; theoretical papers; and critical analyses and meta-analyses of treatment approaches on topics of broad theoretical, methodological, or practical interest to the field of clinical psychology. JCCP does not consider manuscripts dealing with the etiology or descriptive pathology of abnormal behavior (which are more appropriate for the Journal of Abnormal Psychology). Similarly, the journal does not consider articles focusing primarily on assessment, measurement, and diagnostic procedures and concepts (which are more appropriate for Psychological Assessment). Editors reserve the right to determine the most appropriate location of a manuscript. Authors are advised to consult the manuscript submission guidelines for JCCP. Manuscripts that do not conform to the submission guidelines may be returned without review. Instructions to Authors Prior to submission, authors are urged to review the submission guidelines that are detailed below. Manuscripts that do not conform to the submission guidelines may be returned without review. All submissions, whether new, first-submission manuscript, or a revision of a previously submitted manuscript, must use the electronic submissions portal, and follow with one hard copy mailed to: John Heinz Manuscript Coordinator, Journal of Consulting and Clinical Psychology Department of Psychology P.O. Box 249229 University of Miami Coral Gables, FL 33124-0751 General correspondence may be directed to the Editorial Office at the above mailing address   For express mail and Federal Express only, please use the following street address: John Heinz, 5665 Ponce De Leon Blvd., Room 324, Coral Gables, FL 33146. Supplemental Materials APA can now place supplemental materials online, which will be available via the journal's Web page as noted above. To submit such materials, please see Supplementing Your Article With Online Material for details. Masked Review This journal uses a masked reviewing system for all submissions. The first page of the manuscript should omit the authors' names and affiliations but should include the title of the manuscript and the date it is submitted. Footnotes containing information pertaining to the authors' identity or affiliations should not be included in the manuscript, but may be provided after a manuscript is accepted. Every effort should be made to see that the manuscript itself contains no clues to the authors' identity. Authors should be careful to keep a copy of the manuscript to guard against loss. Cover Letter (including Authors' Names and Contact Information) The cover letter accompanying the manuscript submission must include all authors' names and affiliations to avoid potential conflicts of interest in the review process. Addresses and phone numbers, as well as electronic mail addresses and fax numbers, if available, should be provided for all authors for possible use by the editorial office and later by the production office. Length and Style of Manuscripts Full-length manuscripts should not exceed 35 pages total (including cover page, abstract, text, references, tables, and figures), with margins of at least 1 in. on all sides and a standard font (e.g., Times New Roman) of 12 points (no smaller). The entire paper (text, references, tables, etc.) must be double spaced. Instructions on preparing tables, figures, references, metrics, and abstracts appear in the Publication Manual of the American Psychological Association (5th ed.). For papers that exceed 35 pages, authors must justify the extended length in their cover letter (e.g., reporting of multiple studies), and in no case should the paper exceed 45 pages total. Papers that do not conform to these guidelines may be returned without review. Authors should prepare manuscripts according to the Publication Manual of the American Psychological Association (5th ed.). All manuscripts are copyedited for bias-free language (see chap. 2 of the Publication Manual). Graphics files are welcome if supplied as Tiff, EPS, or PowerPoint. High-quality printouts or glossies are needed for all figures. The minimum line weight for line art is 0.5 point for optimal printing. When possible, please place symbol legends below the figure image instead of to the side. Authors are discouraged from including color figures. However, original color figures can be printed in color at the editor's and publisher's discretion provided the author agrees to pay $255 for one figure, $425 for two figures, $575 for three figures, $675 for four figures, and $55 for each additional figure. References References should be listed in alphabetical order. Each listed reference should be cited in text, and each text citation should be listed in the References.

Brief Reports In addition to full-length manuscripts, the Journal of Consulting and Clinical Psychology will consider Brief Reports of research studies in clinical psychology. The Brief Report format may be appropriate for empirically sound studies that are limited in scope, contain novel or provocative findings that need further replication, or represent replications and extensions of prior published work. Brief Reports are intended to permit the publication of soundly designed studies of specialized interest that cannot be accepted as regular articles because of lack of space. Brief Reports must be prepared according to the following specifications: Use 12-point Times New Roman type and 1-inch (2.54-cm) margins, and do not exceed 265 lines of text plus references. These limits do not include the title page, abstract, author note, footnotes, tables, or figures. An author who submits a Brief Report must agree not to submit the full report to another journal of general circulation. The Brief Report should give a clear, condensed summary of the procedure of the study and as full an account of the results as space permits. This journal no longer requires an extended report. However, if one is available, it should be submitted to the Editorial Office, and the Brief Report must be accompanied by the following footnote: Correspondence concerning this article (and requests for an extended report of this study) should be addressed to [give the author's full name and address]. Letters to the Editor Journal of Consulting and Clinical Psychology considers primarily empirical work and occasionally reviews. Letters to the Editor are no longer published. Title of Manuscript The title of a manuscript should be accurate, fully explanatory, and preferably no longer then 12 words. The title should reflect the content and population studied (e.g., "treatment of generalized anxiety disorders in adults"). If the paper reports a randomized clinical trial (RCT), this should be indicated in the title, and the CONSORT criteria must be used for reporting purposes. Abstract and Keywords Manuscripts must be accompanied by an abstract containing a maximum of 125¨C180 words. All abstracts must be typed on a separate sheet of paper (page 2 of the manuscript). Abstracts must contain a brief statement about each of the following: the purpose/objective; the research methods, including the number and type of participants; a summary of the key findings; a statement that reflects the overall conclusions/implications. After the abstract, please provide up to five keywords or short phrases. Participants: Description and Informed Consent The Method section of each empirical report must contain a detailed description of the study participants, including (but not limited to) the following: age, gender, ethnicity, SES, clinical diagnoses and comorbidities (as appropriate), and any other relevant demographics. In the Discussion section of the manuscript, authors should discuss the diversity of their study samples and the generalizability of their findings. The Method section also must include a statement describing how informed consent was obtained from the participants (or their parents/guardians) and indicate that the study was conducted in compliance with an appropriate Internal Review Board. Measures The Method section of empirical reports must contain a sufficiently detailed description of the measures used so that the reader understands the item content, scoring procedures, and total scores or subscales. Evidence of reliability and validity with similar populations should be provided. Statistical Reporting of Clinical Significance JCCP requires the statistical reporting of measures that convey clinical significance. Authors should report means and standard deviations for all continuous study variables and the effect sizes for the primary study findings. (If effect sizes are not available for a particular test, authors should convey this in their cover letter at the time of submission.) JCCP also requires authors to report confidence intervals for any effect sizes involving principal outcomes. In addition, when reporting the results of interventions, authors should include indicators of clinically significant change. Authors may use one of several approaches that have been recommended for capturing clinical significance, including (but not limited to) the reliable change index (i.e., whether the amount of change displayed by a treated individual is large enough to be meaningful; see Jacobson et al., Journal of Consulting and Clinical Psychology, 1999), the extent to which dysfunctional individuals show movement into the functional distribution (see Jacobson & Truax, Journal of Consulting and Clinical Psychology, 1991), or other normative comparisons (see Kendall et al., Journal of Consulting and Clinical Psychology, 1999). The special section of JCCP on "Clinical Significance" (Journal of Consulting and Clinical Psychology, 1999, pp. 283-339) contains detailed discussions of clinical significance and its measurement and should be a useful resource. Discussion of Clinical Implications Articles must include a discussion of the clinical implications of the study findings or analytic review. The Discussion section should contain a clear statement of the extent of clinical application of the current assessment, prevention, or treatment methods. The extent of application to clinical practice may range from suggestions that the data are too preliminary to support widespread dissemination to descriptions of existing manuals available from the authors or archived materials that would allow full implementation at present. Randomized Clinical Trials: Use of CONSORT Reporting Standards JCCP requires the use of the CONSORT reporting standards (i.e., a checklist and flow diagram) for randomized clinical trials, consistent with the policy established by the Publications and Communications Board of the American Psychological Association. CONSORT (Consolidated Standards of Reporting Trials) offers a standard way to improve the quality of such reports, and to ensure that readers have the information necessary to evaluate the quality of a clinical trial. View the criteria for reporting this evidence-based approach. Manuscripts that report randomized clinical trials are required to include a flow diagram of the progress through the phases of the trial and a checklist that identifies where in the manuscript the various criteria are addressed. (The checklist should be placed in an Appendix of the manuscript for review purposes.) When a study is not fully consistent with the CONSORT statement, the limitations should be acknowledged and discussed in the text of the manuscript. For follow-up studies of previously published clinical trials, authors should submit a flow diagram of the progress through the phases of the trial and follow-up. The above checklist information should be completed to the extent possible, especially for the Results and Discussion sections of the manuscript. Nonrandomized Trials: Use of TREND Statement For nonrandomized designs that often are used in public health and mental-health interventions, JCCP encourages the use of the most recent version of the TREND criteria (Transparent Reporting of Evaluations with Non-randomized Designs. Permissions Authors are required to obtain and provide to the editor on final acceptance all necessary permissions to reproduce any copyrighted work, including, for example, test instruments and other test materials or portions thereof. Final files for production should be prepared as outlined in Preparing Your Accepted Manuscript for Production. Publication Policies APA policy prohibits an author from submitting the same manuscript for concurrent consideration by two or more publications. APA's policy regarding posting articles on the Internet may be found at Posting Articles on the Internet. In addition, it is a violation of APA Ethical Principles to publish "as original data, data that have been previously published" (Standard 8.13). As this journal is a primary journal that publishes original material only, APA policy prohibits as well publication of any manuscript that already has been published in whole or substantial part elsewhere. Authors have an obligation to consult journal editors concerning prior publication of any data upon which their article depends. In addition, APA Ethical Principles specify that "after research results are published, psychologists do not withhold the data on which their conclusions are based from other competent professionals who seek to verify the substantive claims through reanalysis and who intend to use such data only for that purpose, provided that the confidentiality of the participants can be protected and unless legal rights concerning proprietary data preclude their release" (Standard 8.14). APA expects authors submitting to this journal to adhere to these standards. Specifically, authors of manuscripts submitted to APA journals are expected to have available their data throughout the editorial review process and for at least 5 years after the date of publication. Authors will be required to state in writing that they have complied with APA ethical standards in the treatment of their sample, human or animal, or to describe the details of treatment. A copy of the APA Ethical Principles may be obtained from the APA Ethics Office web site or by writing the APA Ethics Office, 750 First Street, NE, Washington, DC 20002-4242. APA requires authors to reveal any possible conflict of interest in the conduct and reporting of research (e.g., financial interests in a test procedure, funding by pharmaceutical companies for drug research). Authors of accepted manuscripts will be required to transfer copyright to APA.
