Focus

Manuscripts should be original works, not previously published nor concurrently submitted for publication to other journals. Manuscripts should be written clearly and concisely for a diverse audience, especially counseling professionals. The target audience of the Tennessee Counseling Association Journal is counselors in all specialty areas, and we invite articles of interest for professionals in all areas of counseling. Topics appropriate for the TCAJ include articles that: (a) integrate theory and practice; (b) discuss current issues; (c) provide research of interest to counselors in all areas; and (d) present examples of creative techniques, innovations, and exemplary practices.

Research reports describe original studies that have practical applications. Group designs, single-subject designs, quantitative, qualitative, mixed methods and other appropriate strategies are welcome. Research review articles provide qualitative and/or quantitative syntheses of published and unpublished research and other information that yields important perspectives about at-risk populations. Such articles should stress applied implications.

Manuscripts are to follow the guidelines of the Publication Manual of the American Psychological Association (6th Ed.). Manuscript length should be approximately 25 typed, double-space pages, consecutively numbered including all cited references. Submitted manuscripts which do not follow APA format will be returned to the author without editorial review.
