The Publications and Communications (P&C) Board of the American Psychological Association (APA) has opened nominations for the editorship of Traumatology for the years 2026-2031. Regardt J. Ferreira, Ph.D., is the incumbent Editor.
Traumatology is a quarterly, peer-reviewed journal for professionals all over the world who study and treat people exposed to highly stressful and traumatic events, such as terrorist bombings, war disasters, fires, accidents, criminal and familial abuse, hostage-taking, hospitalization, major illness, abandonment, and sudden unemployment. The journal is sponsored by the Green Cross Academy of Traumatology (GCAT).
Each unique issue offers original articles, reviews, field reports, brief reports, commentary, and media reviews on trauma research, treatment, prevention, education, training, medical, legal, policy and theoretical concerns.
Candidates should be members of GCAT (or willing to become members) and should be available to start receiving manuscripts in early 2025 to prepare for issues published in 2026.
Please note that the P&C Board encourages participation by members of underrepresented groups in the publication process and would particularly welcome such nominees. Self-nominations are also encouraged.
Kathleen Kendall-Tackett, Ph.D., will chair the search.
Nominate candidates through APA’s Editor Search website. Prepared statements of one page or less in support of a nominee can also be submitted by email to Mare Meadows (Associate Publisher, APA Journals) at mmeadows@apa.org.
The deadline for accepting nominations is January 8, 2024, when reviews will begin.
