Do you have valuable research or a paper on Cognitive Analytic Therapy, psychotherapy, or mental health care? Are you passionate about the intersection of therapeutic practice and academic research? Do you want to see your insights published within a diverse global federation? We invite you to contribute to the upcoming sixth volume of the International Journal of Cognitive Analytic Therapy and Relational Mental Health, an open-access, peer-reviewed publication supported by the International Cognitive Analytic Therapy Association (ICATA).

 

Since its inception in the UK, Cognitive Analytic Therapy (CAT) has garnered international recognition and adoption. In 2009, ICATA was established to connect and support CAT therapists worldwide. Over the years, we have proudly published five volumes of our journal, showcasing pivotal theoretical and experimental contributions from experts in the field. Now, we are excited to continue this tradition with our sixth volume and eager to showcase your expertise within its pages.

 

This is an especially exciting time for the journal as we are undergoing a digital transformation aimed at enhancing our academic impact and online presence. The sixth volume will be the first to benefit from our new digital communications and optimization strategy, making it poised to be our most influential edition yet.

 

We welcome submissions from practitioners and researchers at all career stages, including early career academics. Whether your work involves innovative clinical practice, cutting-edge experimental research, a book review, single case study or insightful theoretical analysis related to CAT, we encourage you to share your findings with our international audience. If you know someone who would be interested in this call for papers, please forward this to them—we would be delighted to consider their submission.
