Call for Papers

The Editors welcome authoritative contributions from people working, or otherwise involved, in the practice, research, education and supervision in the cognitive and behavioural psychotherapies. Articles must be original and focused upon cognitive behavioural psychotherapy. All articles must include at the beginning of the paper a set of 3-5 learning objectives that will be achieved through reading the paper. At the end of each paper a summary of the main points from the paper must be included with suggestions for follow-up reading. This stipulation is in keeping with the practitioner and professional development aims of the journal.

The journal also welcomes additional multi-media materials that support, enhance or illustrate specific aspects of the submitted papers including video, audio or PowerPoint presentations, for example. 

The Editors welcome submissions or discussion of ideas for:

• Practice articles
• Review papers
• Case Studies
• Orginal Research Papers
• Education and Supervision
• Service Models and Forms of Delivery

This journal has a stated policy of providing constructive feedback on all submissions

Under the guidance of an interdisciplinary international and national editorial boards tCBT aims to reflect and influence the continuing changes in the concepts, methodology, and techniques within the cognitive and behavioural psychotherapies.

Aims and Scope

tCBT is an interdisciplinary peer reviewed journal aimed primarily at cognitive behavioural practitioners in the helping and teaching professions. Published quarterly, the journal features papers, covering clinical and professional issues, which contribute to the theory, practice and evolution of the cognitive and behavioural psychotherapies. The journal will publish papers that describe new developments; articles that are practice focussed and detail clinical interventions, research reports, detailed case reports, audits that are relevant to practice, and reviews of clinical scales. The journal will also publish papers that have an education or supervision focus.  It will also include reviews of recently published literature that is directly relevant to practitioners.

A particular feature of the journal is that it has broad appeal; its electronic nature is designed to ensure timeliness of publication and professional debate whilst also ensuring rigorous standards in the dissemination of high quality materials with relevance to the practice of cognitive and behavioural psychotherapists.
