Aims andScope of The Journal of CriticalPsychology, Counselling and Psychotherapy: “JCPCPis a peer-reviewed journal which values personal experience above professionalboundaries and doctrinal jargon. It provides a forum for ideas, experiences andviews of people working in the psychological world and those who usepsychotherapy or receive psychiatric services. The journal encourages acritical, reflexive view of psychology and counselling and is a constantchallenge to orthodoxy. Our contributors reflect on their work and experiencesin therapy, in relationships and in institutions. The journal embracesphilosophical, radical and scientific perspectives in its analysis ofpsychological, psychiatric and psychotherapeutic systems” (from inside thejournal). 

Guidelinesto contributors for JCPCP: “When considering submitting a paper to The Journal of Critical Psychology,Counselling and Psychotherapy authors need to follow the following guidelines:Length (4000 words MAX including refs), summary (25 words MAX), brief sentencefor author biog/biogs. Please check the references before submission and do notinclude complicated diagrams. The paper should be critical i.e., does it use arecognized perspective to critique PSY in its various guises and does it abjuremedicalized descriptions of conduct e.g., ADHD, depression etc. If there is asuggestion for how to do things better, is that suggestion humane and does itavoid the pitfall of assuming that there is something wrong with people who arereferred to services? Authors should avoid jargon (except when critiquinglabels), sexist and racist terminology, and shouldn’t cluster people (e.g.“the” elderly) when describing those who receive services. Submissions will besent for review if these guidelines are followed. Authors should receive aresponse in less than six weeks”(taken from: https://www.pccs-books.co.uk/downloads/Guidelines_to_contributors_for_JCPCP_-_2016.pdf)

Thedeadline for contributions (for the September Special Issue) is July 1st 2019.

Pleasefeel free to discuss potential contributions in advance with the Guest Editor,David Fryer (d.fryer at uq.edu.au)to whom submissions for review should be sent.
