PSYCHOLOGY AND PSYCHOTHERAPY-THEORY RESEARCH AND PRACTICE

《心理学与心理治疗:理论研究与实践》(前身为《英国医学心理学杂志》)是一份国际期刊，关注心理健康、心理问题及其心理治疗的心理方面。它的目的是把精神病学和心理学结合起来，这反映在编辑团队的组成上。不过，我们欢迎来自所有相关专业背景的精神卫生专业人士和研究人员提交意见。传统的杂志已经对心理动力学取向和人际关系的方法,定义了其核心的身份,但我们现在另外欢迎提交的原始理论和研究论文的理论起源提供他们有一个轴承容易,调整、评估和恢复从心理障碍(辅助或其他)。因此，该杂志旨在促进有关心理健康的主观心理状态和性情、人际态度、行为和关系以及心理治疗(包括过程和结果研究)领域的理论和研究进展。也欢迎提交支持以证据为基础的实践的系统审查和其他研究报告。只有当临床或案例研究阐明了具有重要理论意义的特别不寻常的精神病理学形式或创新的治疗形式时，才会考虑进行临床或案例研究。

Psychology and Psychotherapy: Theory Research and Practice (formerly The British Journal of Medical Psychology) is an international journal with a focus on the psychological aspects of mental health, psychological problems and their psychotherapeutic treatments. Its aim has been to bring together the psychiatric and psychological disciplines and this is reflected in the composition of the Editorial Team. Nevertheless we welcome submissions from mental health professionals and researchers from all relevant professional backgrounds. The traditional orientation of the Journal has been towards psychodynamic and interpersonal approaches, which have defined its core identity, but we now additionally welcome submissions of original theoretical and research-based papers of any theoretical provenance provided they have a bearing upon vulnerability to, adjustment to, assessment of, and recovery (assisted or otherwise) from psychological disorders. The Journal thus aims to promote theoretical and research developments in the fields of subjective psychological states and dispositions, interpersonal attitudes, behaviour and relationships and psychological therapies (including both process and outcome research) where mental health is concerned. Submission of systematic reviews and other research reports which support evidence-based practice is also welcomed. Clinical or case studies will be considered only if they illustrate particularly unusual forms of psychopathology or innovative forms of therapy which carry important theoretical implications.
