The European Journal of Psychotherapy & Counselling is a peer-reviewed publication established in 1998, which aims to stimulate debate throughout Europe on developments in psychotherapy and counselling. The journal covers the psychological therapies with particular, but not exclusive, reference to developments in psychotherapy, psychoanalysis, counselling and counselling psychology. It raises important questions regarding European practice, theory and research for psychotherapists and counsellors, students, academics and related professionals.
The Journal focuses on the following areas:
- Debate between different European theoretical approaches to psychotherapy and counselling and their respective traditions of practice and research
- Developments within Europe of particular modalities, for example, adolescent, child, cognitive-behavioural, constructivist, couple, existential, family, humanistic, hypno-psychotherapies, integrative, Jungian, medical, psychoanalytic, relational, sexual, systemic
- Individual and group psychotherapy and counselling in public, private and voluntary settings
- The interaction between the psychological and the physical and the status of these categories
- The nature of psychotherapeutic knowledge and its implications for practice, theory and research
- The contributions to psychotherapy and counselling from developments in European academic disciplines
- An exploration of European psychotherapy and counselling as a cultural practice with particular reference to European thought and continental philosophy.
Potential Special Issue proposals are welcomed. Examples of possible future special issues include:
- Developments in therapeutic communities in Europe
- Critical psychotherapy and counselling
- Histories and developments within Europe of particular modalities, for example, adolescent, child, cognitive-behavioural, constructivist, couple, existential, family, humanistic, hypno-psychotherapies, integrative, Jungian, medical, psychoanalytic, relational, sexual, systemic
- Political, legal, economic, social and technological changes in Europe affecting the provision of psychotherapy and counselling
- A comparison of European approaches to researching psychotherapy and counselling
- A critical review of phenomenological research as a misnomer
