The Journal of Clinical Psychology is a clinical psychology and psychotherapy journal devoted to research, assessment, and practice in clinical psychological science. In addition to papers on psychopathology, psychodiagnostics, and the psychotherapeutic process, we welcome articles on psychotherapy effectiveness research, psychological assessment and treatment matching, clinical outcomes, clinical health psychology, and behavioral medicine. The journal’s ‘In Session’ section focuses on the clinical challenges confronting psychotherapists, in the form of either a distinct patient population or a therapeutic dilemma.
