A Journal for a New Era
A confluence of recent developments has made clinical psychological science increasingly central to all areas of psychological science, including:
- translational research, which recognizes that mental illness is grounded in disruption of basic psychological processes (e.g., cognition, emotion, socialization, personality, perception, learning, motivation, development)
- transdiagnostic approaches, which focus on disrupted processes that are common to different forms of psychopathology (e.g., sleep, emotion regulation and expression, attachment)
- empirically supported assessment, diagnosis, and treatment
- molecular and behavioral genetics and proteomics, which link common and uncommon variations in genes with behaviors relevant to psychopathology and well-being
- neuroimaging, which enables characterization of the integrity of neural networks and patterns of brain activation associated with normal and abnormal functioning and suggests new avenues for diagnosis and evaluation of treatment effects
- new treatments focusing on brain and behavior change (e.g., transmagnetic stimulation, direct neural stimulation, new drug and/or behavioral treatment delivery systems, gene-targeted therapies)
All of the above developments are rapidly changing the treatment of mental illness. The
Association for Psychological Science’s journal,
Clinical Psychological Science, emerges from this confluence to provide readers with the best, most innovative research in clinical psychological science, giving researchers of all stripes a home for their work and a place in which to communicate with a broad audience of both clinical and other scientists.
Clinical Psychological Science provides metrics that offer a view of the journal's performance. The Association for Psychological Science is a signatory of
DORA, which recommends that journal-based metrics not be used to assess individual scientist contributions, including for for hiring, promotion, or funding decisions. Therefore,
Clinical Psychological Science recommends that the metrics
found on this page be used solely for those wishing to assess this journal.
The journals of the Association for Psychological Science are sold as a package.

The Association for Psychological Science (APS) is the leading international organization dedicated to advancing scientific psychology across disciplinary and geographic borders. APS members provide a richer understanding of the world through their research, teaching, and application of psychological science. APS is passionate about supporting psychological scientists in these pursuits, which it does by sharing cutting-edge research across all areas of the field through its journals and conventions; promoting the integration of scientific perspectives within psychological science and with related disciplines; fostering global connections among its members; engaging the public with research to promote broader understanding and awareness of psychological science; and advocating for increased support for psychological science in the public policy arena. More than 30,000 leading psychological researchers, as well as students and teachers, have made APS their scientific home. www.psychologicalscience.org
