《心理學與心理治療:理論研究與實踐》(前身為《英國醫(yī)學心理學雜志》)是一份國際期刊，關注心理健康、心理問題及其心理治療的心理方面。它的目的是把精神病學和心理學結(jié)合起來，這反映在編輯團隊的組成上。不過，我們歡迎來自所有相關專業(yè)背景的精神衛(wèi)生專業(yè)人士和研究人員提交意見。傳統(tǒng)的雜志已經(jīng)對心理動力學取向和人際關系的方法,定義了其核心的身份,但我們現(xiàn)在另外歡迎提交的原始理論和研究論文的理論起源提供他們有一個軸承容易,調(diào)整、評估和恢復從心理障礙(輔助或其他)。因此，該雜志旨在促進有關心理健康的主觀心理狀態(tài)和性情、人際態(tài)度、行為和關系以及心理治療(包括過程和結(jié)果研究)領域的理論和研究進展。也歡迎提交支持以證據(jù)為基礎的實踐的系統(tǒng)審查和其他研究報告。只有當臨床或案例研究闡明了具有重要理論意義的特別不尋常的精神病理學形式或創(chuàng)新的治療形式時，才會考慮進行臨床或案例研究。

Psychology and Psychotherapy: Theory Research and Practice (formerly The British Journal of Medical Psychology) is an international journal with a focus on the psychological aspects of mental health, psychological problems and their psychotherapeutic treatments. Its aim has been to bring together the psychiatric and psychological disciplines and this is reflected in the composition of the Editorial Team. Nevertheless we welcome submissions from mental health professionals and researchers from all relevant professional backgrounds. The traditional orientation of the Journal has been towards psychodynamic and interpersonal approaches, which have defined its core identity, but we now additionally welcome submissions of original theoretical and research-based papers of any theoretical provenance provided they have a bearing upon vulnerability to, adjustment to, assessment of, and recovery (assisted or otherwise) from psychological disorders. The Journal thus aims to promote theoretical and research developments in the fields of subjective psychological states and dispositions, interpersonal attitudes, behaviour and relationships and psychological therapies (including both process and outcome research) where mental health is concerned. Submission of systematic reviews and other research reports which support evidence-based practice is also welcomed. Clinical or case studies will be considered only if they illustrate particularly unusual forms of psychopathology or innovative forms of therapy which carry important theoretical implications.
