Aims & Scope
"The Psychologist is the official monthly publication of The British Psychological Society. It serves as a forum for communication, discussion and debate on a range of psychological topics. We aim to publish the same kind of information normally found in academic journals, but in a form suitable for our wide-ranging non-specialist audience: The Psychologist is read by more than 47,000 Society members, and around 1,000 non-members (including many journalists). We welcome contributions from psychologists in all areas of the discipline, written in an informative and engaging style. Articles may provide a broad overview of a particular area or issue, review the literature, include some original research, discuss theory, or debate applied issues and practical and professional problems.
