Notes for contributors

Contributions should be sent to the Editors, Journal of Child Psychotherapy, 120, West Heath Road, London NW3 7TU. We encourage electronic submissions by email to the following email address xkz39@dial.pipex.com. Submission of a paper will be taken to imply that it presents original, unpublished work not under consideration for publication elsewhere.

Papers originally written in a foreign language should be submitted in English, with a copy in the original language in addition to this.

Contributors are requested to ensure that they make every effort to obtain permissions where appropriate and to disguise confidential details in clinical case description, within the realm of sense in a paper, using economy of fact and bearing in mind our answerability to our profession via the Code of Ethics.
