The Journal of Infant, Child and Adolescent Psychotherapy invites submissions of articles by clinicians, researchers and theoreticians who work from a psychoanalytic developmental perspective. Articles representative of a full range of contemporary psychoanalytic traditions are welcome, as well as comparative and integrative approaches. The journal is international in scope and distribution, and has had, from its inception, a commitment to diversity inclusive of ethnicity, economic background, gender and socio-cultural context.
The journal (JICAP) provides a forum for the exploration of issues directly relevant to 21st century clinical practice. Articles are written by and for infant, child, and adolescent psychoanalysts and psychodynamic psychotherapists, as well as researcher/clinicians from diverse backgrounds exploring the contributions of psychoanalytic developmental understanding and treatment approaches to real world clinical work with infants, children, adolescents and parents.
Articles include case studies integrating contemporary theoretical perspectives and/or grounded in research findings, clinical concerns, theoretical trends, training issues, and empirical, including qualitative and early stage exploratory research with implications for the contemporary practitioner. In addition to clinical case studies of intensive and long term psychoanalytic treatment, we welcome articles exploring the application of psychoanalytic understanding to the development of short term and novel therapies, work in settings outside of the traditional consulting room, such as community, school and medical settings, as well as work sensitive tothe impact of the socio/cultural context andcontemporary dilemmas facing practitioners and the infants, parents, children and adolescents they treat.
Peer Review Policy: The papers in Journal of Infant, Child, and Adolescent Psychotherapy undergo editorial screening and double anonymized peer review with the exceptions of invited articles and invited discussions.

Understanding and using journal metrics
Journal metrics can be a useful tool for readers, as well as for authors
who are deciding where to submit their next manuscript for publication.
However, any one metric only tells a part of the story of a journal’s
quality and impact. Each metric has its limitations which means that it
should never be considered in isolation, and metrics should be used to
support and not replace qualitative review.
We strongly recommend that you always use a number of metrics, alongside
other qualitative factors such as a journal’s aims & scope, its
readership, and a review of past content published in the journal. In
addition, a single article should always be assessed on its own merits and
never based on the metrics of the journal it was published in.
Usage and acceptance rate data above are for the last full calendar year
and are updated annually in February. Speed data is updated every six
months, based on the prior six months. Citation metrics are updated
annually mid-year. Please note that some journals do not display all of
the following metrics
(find out why).
