Two years ago a few of us associated with the Psychotherapy & Counselling Psychology Reflections Research Centre set out to develop a publication that brings together the sister disciplines of psychotherapy and counselling psychology, offering a platform for open debate. Two years later we have developed a journal that is inclusive of these two disciplines.
This is the first issue of the Journal of Psychotherapy and Counselling Psychology Reflections (JPCPR) and is a tribute to the depth and breadth of research and scholarship that goes on in the fields of psychotherapy and counselling psychology. The articles it contains capture current issues in the field and their implications for practice. The contributions are wide-ranging, both in content and in the way the authors pose their questions. Every domain of knowledge has its object of study, means of collecting data, methods of analysing it, understanding and communicating the results.
We hope you find the journal interesting in helping you navigate through the plethora of clinical issues and theoretical perspectives contained in each contribution. Two book reviews are included in this edition. These too mirror current issues. I would like to welcome you as a reader of the JPCPR and hope that you will value its contribution. I am grateful to Professor Martin Milton for his early contribution and support in developing the journal, to Professor John Nuttall for his ongoing encouragement, to the Managing Editor, Professor Helen Cowie, for her support and to Shirley Paul for her dedication and commitment in the administrative production.
