The beginning of a new century is the perfect time to identify what contributions have been made in support of psychotherapy. This call for papers welcomes submissions that exemplify conceptual, clinical and relevant research on psychotherapy. We welcome proposals to further our understanding of what facilitates psychotherapeutic change. Environmental and cognitive re-structuring, pharmacotherapy, affective processes, insight, the role of family and social systems, and the integration of psychotherapy are all topics of interest. .
