Journal Call for Submissions

Issues in Religion and Psychotherapy:
The Journal of the Association of Mormon Counselors and Psychotherapists

I am delighted to continue serving as the Journal editor and wish to invite all AMCAP members to consider the Journal as an outlet for their scholarly work. I will work to continue improving the Journal so that we can all be proud of our organization's publication.

When I became journal editor, I outlined 2 main goals: to increase the number of submissions to the Journal and to streamline the peer review process. Over the past year, the editorial board and I have made significant progress on the second goal in providing high-quality reviews and expediting the review process. Regarding the first goal, although the number of submissions has increased, I encourage clinicians and academicians alike to “submit early and submit often” to the AMCAP Journal. If you have presented at an AMCAP convention, please consider reworking your presentation into a scholarly article format as a sole author or in collaboration with another author. I would like to foster scholarly collaborations between clinicians and academicians, so please contact me if you are interested in this possibility.

Again, I am excited to continue in this capacity and I look forward to working with you.

Sincerely, Rachel E. Crook Lyon, Ph.D., Editor
