Papers will be considered providing that they have not previously been published or submitted simultaneously elsewhere for publication.
EMPIRICAL REPORTS
1) The paper should conform to APA standards, with a legible abstract (100-150 words), followed by sections that include an introduction, method, results, and discussion.
THEORY/REVIEW PAPERS
2) The paper should make an original, testable and/or useful extension/revision to theory and previous literature concerning attachment processes and human development.
CLINICAL CASE-STUDIES
3) Authors should provide an account of previous clinical theory in an organized and up-to-date manner distinct from the clinical case material. Further, the clinical case material should occupy no more than a third of the paper. The first third should include only relevant background theory, while the final third should aim to discuss the descriptive presentation of the clinical case material against the background of existing theories and/or modifications needed to accommodate the clinical material.
ALL SUBMISSIONS should include an abstract, and ordinarily be about 6,000 words in length, not exceeding 7500 words in total, though occasionally longer papers are considered. In order to facilitate blind peer review, authors are encouraged to prepare a cover sheet that includes identifying details not included in the manuscript which will be sent out for review, less the cover sheet.
