Description:

A Journal for a New EraA confluence of recent developments has made clinical psychological science increasingly central to all areas of psychological science, including:translational research, which recognizes that mental illness is grounded in disruption of basic psychological processes (e.g., cognition, emotion, socialization, personality, perception, learning, motivation, development)transdiagnostic approaches, which focus on disrupted processes that are common to different forms of psychopathology (e.g., sleep, emotion regulation and expression, attachment)empirically supported assessment, diagnosis, and treatmentmolecular and behavioral genetics and proteomics, which link common and uncommon variations in genes with behaviors relevant to psychopathology and well-beingneuroimaging, which enables characterization of the integrity of neural networks and patterns of brain activation associated with normal and abnormal functioning and suggests new avenues for diagnosis and evaluation of treatment effectsnew treatments focusing on brain and behavior change (e.g., transmagnetic stimulation, direct neural stimulation, new drug and/or behavioral treatment delivery systems, gene-targeted therapies)All of the above developments are rapidly changing the treatment of mental illness. The Association for Psychological Science’s journal, Clinical Psychological Science, emerges from this confluence to provide readers with the best, most innovative research in clinical psychological science, giving researchers of all stripes a home for their work and a place in which to communicate with a broad audience of both clinical and other scientists.Clinical Psychological Science provides metrics that offer a view of the journal’s performance.  The Association for Psychological Science is a signatory of DORA, which recommends that journal-based metrics not be used to assess individual scientist contributions, including for for hiring, promotion, or funding decisions.
