Counseling and Clinical Psychology Journal is now being published as Psychology Journal. All research appropriate for CCPJ may now be submitted to Psychology Journal.

The purpose of CCPJ is to publish original, scholarly manuscripts exploring all areas of the science and practice of counseling and clinical psychology. The scope of articles published in CCPJ includes empirical (quantitative, qualitative, and methodologically sound case studies) research, literature reviews and syntheses, and theoretical writings on topics that have implications for counseling and clinical psychology research and practice. This journal is intended as a scientific publication. It is our goal to publish only quality, scholarly articles.

Appropriate topics include, but are not limited to:

studies of the development, revision, or validity of assessment instruments useful in clinical practice

psychopathology/mental illness: its development, diagnosis and/or assessment, correlates, and treatment

"normal" processes in mentally unhealthy populations and unhealthy or unusual behaviors in "normal" individuals
