Behaviour Research and Therapy

期刊简介：An International Multi-Disciplinary Journal. The major focus of Behaviour Research and Therapy is an experimental psychopathology approach to understanding emotional and behavioral disorders and their prevention and treatment, using cognitive, behavioral, and psychophysiological (including neural) methods and models. This includes laboratory-based experimental studies with healthy, at risk and subclinical individuals that inform clinical application as well as studies with clinically severe samples. The following types of submissions are encouraged: theoretical reviews of mechanisms that contribute to psychopathology and that offer new treatment targets; tests of novel, mechanistically focused psychological interventions, especially ones that include theory-driven or experimentally-derived predictors, moderators and mediators; and innovations in dissemination and implementation of evidence-based practices into clinical practice in psychology and associated fields, especially those that target underlying mechanisms or focus on novel approaches to treatment delivery. In addition to traditional psychological disorders, the scope of the journal includes behavioural medicine (e.g., chronic pain). The journal will consider manuscripts dealing primarily with measurement and psychometric analyses if relevant to the primary focus of the journal (e.g., transdiagnostic mechanisms).

【译文】国际多学科期刊。行为研究和治疗的主要重点是使用认知、行为和心理生理学（包括神经）方法和模型来了解情绪和行为障碍及其预防和治疗的实验性精神病理学方法。这包括对健康、高危和亚临床个体进行的实验室实验研究，为临床应用提供信息，以及对临床严重样本的研究。鼓励以下类型的提交：对有助于精神病理学并提供新治疗目标的机制的理论评论；对新颖的、以机械为重点的心理干预措施的测试，特别是那些包括理论驱动或实验得出的预测因素、调节因素和中介因素的干预措施；将循证实践传播和实施到心理学及相关领域的临床实践中的创新，特别是那些针对潜在机制或专注于新的治疗方法的实践。除了传统的心理障碍外，该期刊的范围还包括行为医学（例如慢性疼痛）。如果与期刊的主要关注点（例如跨诊断机制）相关，该期刊将考虑主要涉及测量和心理测量分析的稿件。
