Aims and scope
The Clinical Psychologist is the official journal of the Australian Psychological Society’s College of Clinical Psychologists. It is an international peer-reviewed journal which bridges the gap between clinical research and evidence-based practice. It publishes topics of broad general relevance to clinical psychologists working in clinical and clinical health settings around the world, including:

Assessment of psychopathology
Models and treatment of psychopathology
Issues relevant to training in clinical psychology
Reviews, research papers (including quantitative and qualitative studies, and clinical case studies), and clinical guidelines are encouraged. The focus is international, but with local perspectives encouraged (e.g., with respect to clinical training, Indigenous people’s issues).
The Clinical Psychologist operates a double anonymized peer review policy. Authors can choose to publish gold open access in this journal.

Read the Instructions for Authors .

The manuscript and peer-review reports may be transferred to one of the other journals of the Australian Psychological Society ( Australian Journal of Psychology, Australian Psychologist, or Educational and Developmental Psychologist) if the scope of the paper is not found suitable for publication in the Clinical Psychologist, but is suitable for these other journals. Authors will receive a notification if their manuscript is being considered for transfer, and at that time can decide if they want to pursue the transfer. If authors do NOT wish to be considered for transfer to an alternative journal after rejection for this journal, this should be noted in the cover letter.
