Call for Papers: Psychology of Addictive Behaviors
Special Issue on
Neuroimaging and Psychotherapy Mechanisms of Change for Addictive Behaviors
Translational research that increases understanding of brain
mechanisms underlying effective psychosocial interventions is critical
to enhancing treatment effects. Psychology of Addictive Behaviors is
seeking empirical (data-based) papers examining potential brain
mechanisms that may underlie effective behavioral interventions for
addictive behaviors, broadly defined (e.g., alcohol, cocaine, tobacco,
eating disorders, obesity, pathological gambling), and across
development (e.g., adolescents, adults). The goal of the special issue
is to highlight emerging theory and research in the field of
translational neuroscience on proposed or empirically supported brain
mechanisms (e.g., structure, functioning) that may moderate and/or
mediate treatment effects for addictive behaviors.
Manuscripts should be submitted as usual through the
American Psychological Association Online Submission Portal
(http://www.apa.org/pubs/journals/adb/). The cover letter should
indicate that the authors wish the manuscript to be considered for
publication in the special issue on Neuroimaging and Psychotherapy
Mechanisms of Change for Addictive Behaviors. All submissions will be
peer-reviewed. The deadline for consideration for the special issue is
October 1, 2011.
