The Psychological Therapies section aims to publish significant research findings that help us understand and increase the effectiveness of current psychological therapies and develop new interventions for a range of mental disorders. This includes therapies such as cognitive behavior therapy (CBT), interpersonal therapy (IPT), acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), meta-cognitive therapy, mindfulness-based stress reduction (MBSR) and cognitive bias modification (CBM).
We welcome original investigations on the following topics:
• clinical efficacy of psychological interventions in one or more disorders
• innovative neurobiological methods to establish mediators of clinical change following psychological therapies,
• predictors of clinical response to psychological therapies,
• cognitive models of psychiatric disorders that may point towards new therapeutic targets and innovative or refined therapeutic approaches to address them,
• novel application of psychological interventions (for example, in a new clinical population),
• comparison of psychological and pharmacological therapies where relevant
• combination therapies (for example, pharmacologically-enhanced exposure therapy for phobia).
Psychological Therapies will also publish advances in the application of cognitive remediation and cognitive enhancement therapies in psychiatric disorders, alongside editorials and reviews on current and controversial issues, and timely literature updates. Our ultimate goal is to accelerate communication in the field to promote effective evidence-based psychological therapies for all mental disorders.
