Guidelines for Submitting Articles to Psychotherapy.netThank you for your interest in writing for Psychotherapy.net, an online magazine read by psychotherapists all around the world. We publish articles that engage psychotherapists personally and professionally and are seeking original pieces that take fresh perspectives on new and traditional ideas. TopicsArticles that we publish include stories that integrate professional and personal themes, and psychotherapist personal essays. We hope you’ll write about whatever you’re most passionate about, but if you need inspiration, we would be particularly interested in articles on the following topics:
We welcome contributions from a wide range of theoretical, psychological and psychotherapeutic perspectives. We also occasionally publish relevant book chapters, poetry, book and movie reviews related to psychotherapy themes. To Submit an ArticlePlease email your submission to psychotherapy.net and include a brief biography. Also, note whether the piece you are submitting has been published online, in a print journal, book, or elsewhere. Writing GuidelinesWe are seeking writing on psychotherapy that is relatively free of jargon, more conversational, using a story-telling format. We look for writing styles that are informal, yet professional, including the use of first person, and in an active voice. We are especially interested in articles that include the experience of the therapist. Most of the articles we publish are about 4000 words. We also accept briefer articles of about 2000 words, as well as longer articles up to 8000 words. Photos and other material that enhance the quality of the material are welcome. References to research, studies, and sources may be relevant to your piece, but please use only when necessary and avoid extensive literature reviews. Note that we use footnotes for citations rather than references. We are also interested in book reviews of professional and non-professional books that would be of interest to psychotherapists. Book reviews should generally be between 750-2000 words. If you are interested in reviewing a particular book, please let us know, and we may be able to obtain a copy for you from the publisher.
