We are pleased to launch this exciting new journal. Contemporary Behavioral Health Care (CBHC) is a bi-monthly open access journal which publishes original manuscripts pertaining to the broad areas of behavioral health care. The journal emphasizes the notion of “Contemporary” Behavioral Health and aspires to be a leading cutting edge medium that disseminates forward thinking, empirically grounded, theoretically sound, clinically practical ideas.
Contributions may focus on empirical research, clinical practice, and/or behavioral health care policy. All articles are expected to address emerging trends in the dynamic contemporary behavioral health care landscape. Accordingly, contributions should include specific research, practice, and policy implications for Behavioral Health Care. The journal emphasizes multi-disciplinary perspectives and manuscripts from psychiatry, psychology, pediatrics, geriatrics, social work, nursing, counseling, behavioral health care economics and administration as well as sociology are welcome.
Manuscripts are subject to a blinded peer review process. The editorial board consists of reviewers whose expertise spans a broad array of topics relevant to behavioral health care. Themed special issues are welcome. Authors with suggestions for special issues are invited to contact the Editors-in-Chief with their proposals.
We look forward to receiving and reviewing first-rate, original manuscripts from authors who share our common mission to use science, practice, and advocacy to improve the care of behavioral health care patients.
