Journal overview

Clinical Gerontologist: Perspectives on Diversity, Behavioral Health, and Aging presents original research, reviews, and clinical comments focusing on behavioral health outcomes in older adults. We have a particular interest in issues of diversity and disparities as they impact behavioral health of older adults. Published in cooperation with Psychologists in Long Term Care, the journal is designed for both researchers and practitioners.

Topics of interest include:

  • depression, anxiety, PTSD and other psychiatric disorders
  • adjustment to late life stressors
  • family caregiving innovations focusing on mental health outcomes
  • psychological assessment
  • behavioral aspects of neurocognitive disorders
  • mental health care within long term care
  • behavioral medicine in aging
  • diversity and disparities such as how factors associated with race, culture, spirituality, LGBTQ, disability, SES, and rurality relate to mental health in older adults.

Submissions are peer reviewed by content experts and selected by the editors for scholarship, fit with the journal scope, and relevance to practitioner needs to ensure that the articles are among the best in the field. We publish original research and reviews. We also consider “Clinical Studies" which are quality improvement projects or case studies, describing a novel approach to an important mental health problem that fills a gap in the literature.

The combination of scholarly research, reviews, and clinical studies with direct relevance to daily practice keep you up-to-date on the latest developments. Whether you are a psychologist, physician, nurse, social worker, counselor, clergy or other health professional, Clinical Gerontologist provides the information you need for continued excellence in behavioral healthcare with older adults.
