Journal of Behavior Therapy and Experimental Psychiatry

Scope

The Journal welcomes contributions to the understanding and treatment of psychopathology. Such contributions may stem from various theoretical perspectives, such as learning theory, cognitive science, social psychology, developmental psychology, etc. The Journal primarily focuses on experimental tests of psychological approaches to psychopathology, though contributions from medicine, biology, sociology, or epidemiology may be published. The same holds for non-experimental approaches, which may occasionally be published if deemed relevant for the field of experimental psychopathology. Papers to be published generally focus on: •Theoretically or clinically relevant differences between specific patient groups and other groups, if experimentally tested; •Mechanisms that cause, perpetuate or reduce disorders; •Diagnostic or therapeutic procedures.
