Call for Submissions Trauma, Dissociation, and Intimate Relationships |
We are inviting submissions on the associations among trauma, dissociation, and intimate relationships for a special issue of the Journal of Trauma and Dissociation.
In addition to its impact on individual psychological well-being, trauma creates barriers to healthy interpersonal functioning. This is not limited to romantic relationships because intimate connections with family members, friends, co-workers, and community members can also be affected. Given the importance of healthy relationships for psychological health, it is imperative that research addressing these issues for survivors of trauma be made available to the research and clinical communities, and to the general public. We primarily are seeking reports of original research and comprehensive reviews/meta-analyses of existing research, but case studies, clinical conceptualization, and theoretical papers also will be considered. All submissions will undergo peer review. Submissions will be evaluated for topic relevance, methodological rigor, scientific and/or clinical value, and implications for application.
Topics of interest include but are not limited to the following: demographic correlates, attachment, psychopathology, trust and betrayal, attributions and appraisals in intimate relationships, risk detection, intimate partner functioning, parenting and family functioning, revictimization, disclosure, relationship satisfaction, sexuality, post traumatic responses, risk factors, post traumatic growth, resiliency, and intervention. Submissions including the topic of dissociation are welcome, but it is not necessary to address this topic.
Complete submissions will be accepted until December 1, 2010. Please refer to the journal website for specific submission requirements (including a required author assurance/ submission checklist) and more information about the Journal of Trauma and Dissociation: http://dynamic.uoregon.edu/~jjf/jtd/.
Inquiries and submissions should be sent to the special issue editors at jtdspecial@dynamic.uoregon.edu
