Call for Papers for a Special Issue of Clinical Practice in Pediatric Psychology: Evidence-Based Interventions in Pediatric Psychology

October 15, 2013: submission deadline

With the advent of Clinical Practice in Pediatric Psychology (CPPP), an official journal of APA Division 54, the editors (Jennifer Shroff Pendley and Doug Tynan) are planning a special issue reviewing state-of-the-art evidence-based interventions in key areas of pediatric psychology practice, with Bryan Carter serving as the guest editor.

To make this even more valuable to our subscribers and division members, a tandem issue containing invited systematic reviews on this topic will be published at the same time in the Journal of Pediatric Psychology (JPP), with Tonya Palermo serving as special issue guest editor.

For the CPPP special issue, we are soliciting submissions pertaining to practice issues, training models, novel program development, or quality improvement pertaining to the following 12 topical areas of pediatric psychology intervention:

Needle pain

Injury prevention

Health promotion

Chronic pain

Encopresis

Neurocognitive interventions

Obesity

Adherence to treatment regimens

Parent and family-based interventions

Sleep interventions

Feeding problems

Grief/bereavement interventions

Whereas the JPP special issue will include systematic reviews and meta-analyses of intervention approaches, the CPPP special issue will complement the JPP articles with reviews of applied clinical activities and models of practice that incorporate evidence-based interventions in real world settings with diverse clinical populations.

Submitted manuscripts should illustrate the breadth, richness, and wide array of pediatric psychology activities that attempt to incorporate the expanding empirical literature into day-to-day treatment activities for these pediatric conditions.

These companion special issues of JPP and CPPP are intended to provide an update and expansion of the series on empirically supported treatments that were published in 1999 in JPP. If you have a strong interest in being a contributor to this special issue of CPPP, please contact Bryan Carter.

CPPP Guest Editor: Bryan Carter, PhD

Submission Deadline: October 15, 2013
