Aim

The Journal of Clinical Psychology Research (JCPR), the official publication of the Association of Clinical Psychology Research (Klinik Psikoloji Araştırmaları Derneği), aims to advance scientific knowledge in the field of clinical psychology through the publication of high-quality, peer-reviewed research. The journal is committed to fostering evidence-based insights that contribute to both theoretical understanding and clinical practice in psychology.

JCPR provides a platform for the dissemination of original empirical studies, systematic reviews, meta-analyses, theoretical contributions, methodological innovations, and clinical case reports. The journal prioritizes work that demonstrates scientific rigor, addresses contemporary mental health issues, and contributes meaningfully to the improvement of psychological assessment, diagnosis, and treatment across diverse populations and settings.

Scope

JCPR publishes interdisciplinary research within the broad domain of clinical psychology, with a focus on psychological disorders and mental health conditions across the lifespan. The journal welcomes submissions addressing a wide range of topics, including but not limited to: mood and anxiety disorders, obsessive-compulsive and related disorders, trauma-related conditions, personality disorders, and neurodevelopmental disorders.

Studies may examine psychological mechanisms, developmental trajectories, diagnostic models, therapeutic interventions, and outcomes in clinical populations. JCPR is particularly interested in research exploring the efficacy and effectiveness of diverse psychotherapeutic and psychosocial interventions, including cognitive-behavioral therapies, mindfulness-based approaches, family systems, and integrative treatment models.

The journal encourages contributions that incorporate culturally sensitive approaches, diverse methodological designs (quantitative, qualitative, and mixed-methods), and robust statistical analyses. Manuscripts with international or cross-cultural perspectives, as well as those that integrate insights from related disciplines such as neuropsychology, developmental psychology, health psychology, or psychometrics, are especially welcome.

Through its rigorous editorial standards, JCPR strives to serve as a vital resource for clinicians, researchers, academics, and mental health professionals engaged in advancing psychological science and clinical care on a global scale.
