Student Research in Person-Centered & Experiential Psychotherapies

Recognizing the importance of fostering emerging research in our field, PCEP is launching a special issue focused on the research of students. We encourage students or recent graduates that have undertaken a research project as part of their practitioner qualification or time as a student , such as through dissertations or theses, to submit a manuscript. The manuscript will undergo peer review to receive feedback that will enable the author to further develop their submission for potential acceptance in the special issue.

• We would suggest that any potential authors approach their academic supervisors as co-authors or helpers mentioned in the acknowledgements section.
• We also encourage academics who supervise research to encourage submissions from the student research you supervised.
• All authors are asked to additionally review a paper of a peer. This will offer students the invaluable opportunity of being involved in the referee process and will help to build a community amongst our emerging researchers. It also ensures that researchers are truly being reviewed by their peers as well as other experts
• We welcome submissions from all students interested in exploring the PCEP approach. We especially encourage contributions from emerging scholars from the Global South, indigenous communities, and other areas currently under-represented within our community, including those who are racially minoritized, LGBTQIA+, disabled, religious, etc.
• Students wanting to present a write up of any research that has been based on contact with participants must include their ethical approval from their institution in order for that to be considered for publication
