Aims and scope
The Australian Psychologist is the flagship journal of the Australian Psychological Society. It is an international peer-reviewed journal which focuses on current issues in the science and practice of psychology, and how this applies to professional practice and public policy, with an emphasis on mental health and wellbeing. The Australian Psychologist is predominantly Australia-focused, cross-cultural and inclusive of all demographics, including Australian Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples, with international perspectives encouraged. Topics include:
- program development
- evaluation
- use of psychological assessments and treatments with clinical and specialised populations across the lifespan
- neuropsychology.
The Australian Psychologist encourages papers which focus on the application of research to professional settings such as public health, organisational psychology, sport and forensic psychology, and community settings. The journal welcomes quantitative and narrative reviews (e.g., meta-analyses, systematic reviews), qualitative research, commentaries and methodologically sound case studies.
The journal is issued six times a year.
