International Journal of Cognitive Therapy (IJCT)

The International Journal of Cognitive Therapy (now evolving into International Journal of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy) is a peer‑reviewed scholarly journal that disseminates high‑quality empirical, theoretical, and clinical research related to cognitive therapy and cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT). Its scope includes studies on cognitive processes underlying psychiatric and psychological disorders, mechanisms of therapeutic change, outcomes of CBT interventions, and innovations in treatment methods such as computer‑assisted or brief therapy strategies. Articles typically span clinical trials, outcome studies, theoretical and conceptual frameworks, literature reviews, and case reports that deepen understanding of how cognitive interventions affect mood, anxiety, and behavior across diverse populations. The journal aims to bridge basic research and clinical practice by fostering evidence‑based approaches that guide practitioners, researchers, and trainees in psychology and mental health disciplines. Regular features also include special issues on timely topics in CBT and related fields, reflecting its role as a forum for advancing both scientific knowledge and practical applications in psychological therapy. Indexed in major citation databases and with a hybrid open access model, it attracts international contributions from researchers and clinicians interested in advancing CBT research, methodology, and clinical practice worldwide.
