The Aims and Scope of the Journal

The Journal of Rational-Emotive and Cognitive Behavior Therapy is an international journal publishes original scholarly papers concerning REBT, CBT, behavior therapy, cognitive-behavioral hypnosis and hypnotherapy, clinical and counseling psychology, psychiatry, mental health counseling, and allied areas of science and practice.  The journal endeavors to encourage scholarly debate amongst professionals involved in clinical practice, theory, research, and training in all areas of scholarship relevant to REBT and CBT.  The Journal is particularly interested in articles that define clinical practice and in research and theoretical articles that have direct clinical applications.  The Journal seeks theoretical discussions and literature reviews on the cognitive bases of the development and alleviation of emotional, behavioral, interpersonal, personality, and addictive disorders.  We consider submissions on the applications of REBT to new areas of practice and client populations.  The Journal provides a timely introduction to unexplored avenues on the cutting edge of REBT and CBT research, theory, and practice.
