We are interested in a range of papers: clinical and single case studies used to illustrate the development of a specific theoretical point, or the application of analytic work in particular settings and/ or with a specialist patient group; systematic reviews and empiriral evaluations of the application of psychoanalytic ideas and of innovative therapeutic interventions; rigorous theroretical papers; papers addressing policy issues that impact on the practice of psychoanalytic therapy and/ or the applied work of analytically informed practitioners, or papers that make a contriibution to the development of mental health policy.

Psychoanalytic Social Work provides social work clinicians and clinical educators with highly informative and stimulating articles relevant to the practice of psychoanalytic social work with the individual client. Although a variety of social work publications now exist, none focus exclusively on the important clinical themes and dilemmas that occur in a psychoanalytic social work practice. Existing clinical publications in social work have tended to dilute or diminish the significance or the scope of psychoanalytic practice in various ways. Some social work journals focus partially on clinical practice and characteristically provide an equal, if not greater, emphasis upon social welfare policy and macropractice concerns. Some social work journals seem to restrict themselves to a particular population or practice domain (e.g., children and adolescents). While journals such as these may be important for other reasons, they are not often attuned to the educational needs of the psychoanalytically oriented social worker.Psychoanalytic Social Work gives you an impressive range of exciting and original contributions carefully selected by a panel of expert reviewers, who are themselves prominent members of the psychoanalytic social work community. Articles range from detailed intensive single-case studies to scholarly discussions of theoretical psychoanalysis and will provide readers with contemporary perspectives, theories, clinical methods, and techniques that fall within the domain of psychoanalytic psychotherapy. The journal, with no adherence to any particular body of psychoanalytic thinking, also focuses on the special requirements, adaptations, and problems associated with a psychoanalytic approach to treatment in social work settings and with traditional social work populations.Psychoanalytic Social Work also spotlights the practicing social work clinician, giving a high priority to those articles most relevant to practice including, but not limited to clinical case studies reviews of the literature psychoanalytic approaches to special populations and in work with minorities and the underserved applications of specialized or innovative psychoanalytic techniques and methods in the treatment of various clinical problems (hypnoanalytic treatment of the borderline personality) important psychoanalytic themes, such as the transference-counter-transference matrix, narrative versus historical reality, or the application of infant research to the treatment of children and adults research studies that are clinically focused and that investigate various aspects of psychoanalytic psychotherapy or psychoanalytic developmental psychology.

Psychological Bulletin® publishes evaluative and integrative research reviews and interpretations of issues in scientific psychology. Both qualitative (narrative) and quantitative (meta-analytic) reviews will be considered, depending on the nature of the database under consideration for review.Integrative reviews or research syntheses focus on empirical studies and seek to summarize past research by drawing overall conclusions from many separate investigations that address related or identical hypotheses. A research synthesis typically presents the authors' assessments of * the state of knowledge concerning the relations of interest; * critical assessments of the strengths and weaknesses in past research; and * important issues that research has left unresolved, thereby directing future research so it can yield a maximum amount of new information.Both cumulative and historical approaches (i.e., ones that organize a research literature by highlighting temporally unfolding developments in a field) can be used. Integrative research reviews that develop connections between areas of research are particularly valuable.Manuscripts dealing with topics at the interface of psychological sciences and society are welcome, as are evaluations of applied psychological therapies, programs, and interventions. Expository articles may be published if they are deemed accurate, broad, clear, and pertinent.Methodological articles that previously were submitted to Psychological Bulletin should now be submitted to Psychological Methods. Original theoretical articles should be submitted to Psychological Review, even when they include summaries of research. Research syntheses should be submitted to Psychological Bulletin even when they develop integrated theoretical statements.
