In 2016, after 70 years of publishing, the American Journal of Psychotherapy suspended operations while its parent organization, the Association for the Advancement of Psychotherapy, underwent the legal process of formal dissolution.

When operations were suspended, several papers had been accepted and were awaiting publication.

The American Psychiatric Association is proud to be the new publisher of the American Journal of Psychotherapy, helmed by Editor Holly A. Swartz, M.D., from the University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine.

Publication has resumed with volume 71, which will encompass four issues in 2018 and feature the previously accepted papers throughout the year. Issue 2 includes the following articles:

•

Brian Chopko and colleagues present mindfulness-based psychotherapy approaches to help first responders understand and incorporate awareness-based, nonjudgmental, and present-centered mindfulness techniques during critical incidents and while off duty as resilience-building mechanisms.

•

Alison Lenet and colleagues report that qualitative data on residents’ experiences with a new psychoeducational document about psychodynamic psychotherapy—developed to facilitate informed consent discussions in the outpatient residents’ clinic of a large urban academic medical center—suggest that the document is helpful for patients and residents and may deepen the treatment relationship.

•

Timothy Rice and colleagues present results from an interview of child and adolescent psychoanalysts that underscore the similarity of child and adolescent psychoanalysis to other fields of contemporary psychotherapy and can be used to form a bridge between psychoanalysis and other fields of psychotherapy.

•

Denise Ma and Maxine Sigman shed light on some of the therapeutic challenges faced by a multidisciplinary inpatient treatment team, which was divided on how to treat a patient with bipolar affective illness and borderline personality traits.

•

Alice Marble and colleagues present two case studies of patients with poor quality of object relations, one who was rated as recovered after receiving psychotherapy with transference interpretation and one who was rated as not recovered.

It is our hope, as we restore the American Journal of Psychotherapy to its rightful prominence, that those who share our interest in promoting psychotherapy as a critical component of care support the journal in the following ways:

Delve into the archives: content from 2007 to 2016 is now freely available online at the journal’s new website, with some articles available online for the first time ever.

Submit a paper: we invite a broad range of perspectives from all psychotherapy disciplines and welcome case reports, review articles, and research articles that will guide and shape clinical practice.

Share your expertise as a peer reviewer: individuals interested in reviewing for the journal are invited to write to the journal’s editorial office at [email protected] to request to be added to the reviewer database.

Thank you for reading, and we welcome your engagement.
