The Journal of Rational-Emotive and Cognitive Behavior Therapy is an international journal that publishes scholarly original papers concerning Rational Emotive Behavior Therapy (REBT), Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT), behavior therapy, cognitive-behavioral hypnosis, hypnotherapy, clinical and counseling psychology, psychiatry, mental health counseling, and allied areas of science and practice. The journal encourages scholarly debate amongst professionals involved in practice, theory, research, and training in areas of scholarship relevant to REBT and CBT. The Journal is particularly interested in articles defining clinical practice and research and theoretical articles with direct clinical applications. The Journal seeks theoretical discussions and literature reviews on the cognitive bases of developing and alleviating emotional, behavioral, interpersonal, personality, and addictive disorders, positive psychological functioning, interpersonal and family functioning, and career or work functioning. We consider submissions on the applications of REBT and CBT to new areas of practice and client populations. For our purposes, Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a general system of psychotherapy based on cognitive and behavioral principles. It represnts an umbrella term describing many evidence-based psychological prevention interventions and treatments derived from such principles. REBT is one of the original forms of CBT originated by Albert Ellis (1913-2007). The Journal aims to increase the internal cohesion of REBT/CBT by exploring more integrative, evidence-based CBT frameworks and forms of CBT practice linked to them to gradually move the field from various “schools” to an integrative CBT framework (a comprehensive theory) and a multimodal CBT practice (derived/related to the comprehensive theory). We strive to stimulate frontier research in fundamental and applied fields in cognitive and behavioral principles to advance prevention and treatment and infuse REBT / CBT with frontier research from related fields, including biology, neuroscience, and technology. The journal encourages research that identifies the specific hypothetical constructs and techniques being measured, tested, and discussed, and the comparison of the relative influence of different cognitive processes, constructs, and techniques on emotional and behavioral disturbance. The Journal provides a timely introduction to unexplored avenues on the cutting edge of REBT and CBT research, theory, and practice. The Journal publishes: Discussions of the Philosophical Foundations of Psychotherapy, REBT, and CBT. Discussions of the Stoic Foundations of REBT, CBT, and other psychotherapies. Theory-building articles. Theoretical articles. Original outcome research Brief research reports Original research on the support of theoretical models. Development of scales to assess cognitive and affective constructs relevant to the study of psychopathology and the mediators of psychotherapy Research reviews Clinical practice reviews Consultation in Organizations and Businesses Empirically-based case studies Descriptions of innovative therapeutic techniques and procedures Advances in clinical training Literature review Book reviews Under the guidance of an expanded international editorial board of acknowledged leaders in the field, the journal disseminates current, valuable information to researchers and practitioners in psychology, psychotherapy, psychiatry, mental health counseling, social work, education, and related fields. Manuscripts usually are less than 40 pages, double-spaced, and using 11 or 12-point font. If authors need more space to communicate their research or ideas, they should write to the editors to explain why more than the commended number of pages is needed. All manuscripts should present a thorough statement of the theoretical rationale for the hypotheses tested in the research. Manuscripts that test the divergent predictions made by two or more theories or investigate the different outcomes or predictive power of two or more CBT approaches are particularly welcome. All manuscripts should have a section in the Discussion section that outlines the Clinical Practice Implications of the research, literature reviews, or theoretical formulations. This journal adheres to the CONSORT and SPIRIT guidelines for reporting randomized clinical trials. Please note that the Consort and Spirit Guidelines are under review and will be updated in 2024 (https://www.consort-spirit.org/). All studies must include a CONSORT FLOW CHART and use the CONSORT CHECKLIST in reporting Randomized Clinical Trials. These can be found now at the EQUATOR Network - The EQUATOR (Enhancing the Quality and Transparency of Health Research) Network is an international initiative that seeks to improve the reliability and value of published health research literature by promoting transparent and accurate reporting and wider use of robust reporting guidelines (https://www.equator-network.org/reporting-guidelines/guidelines-for-reporting-outcomes-in-trial-reports-the-consort-outcomes-2022-extension/ ). We recommend that all studies that present Mediation Models or Structural Equation Models present data for a model that tests the authors’ theoretical predictions and at least one alternative model that differs from the authors; ideas and tests an alternative theory. .
