Pastoral Psychology| founded in 1950| is one of the most well-established and respected journals in the field of psychology and religion/spirituality. Pastoral Psychology is an international forum that publishes scholarly| peer-reviewed original articles that address varied aspects of religion and spirituality from physical| human science| and interfaith perspectives. Historically| the word “pastoral” has referred to the care of individuals| families| and communities. Today| we additionally consider “pastoral” in terms of lived experience as it relates to embodiment| the social-political| economic| spiritual| and environmental dimensions of life. All theoretical perspectives are welcome| as Pastoral Psychology regularly publishes articles from a variety of schools of thought| including| but not limited to| psychoanalytic and other dynamic psychologies| cognitive psychologies| experimental and empirical psychologies| humanistic psychology| transpersonal psychology| and cultural psychology. Insights from existential perspectives| intersectional theories| philosophical and theological theories| gender and queer studies| sociology| anthropology| public mental health| and cultural and empirical studies are welcome. Theoretical contributions that have direct or indirect relevance for practice| broadly construed| are especially desirable| as our intended audience includes not only academics and scholars in religion and science| but also religious and spiritual leaders| as well as caregivers| chaplains| social workers| counselors/therapists| clinical psychologists| psychiatrists| and persons interested in matters of religion/spirituality and psychology. Pastoral Psychology welcomes scholarship and reflection from all religious and spiritual traditions. In addition to scholarly research papers| the journal welcomes thoughtful essays on a wide range of issues and various genres of writing| including book reviews and film reviews. The community of scholars represented in its pages has demonstrated that the life challenges the journal seeks to address are universally shared| yet also reflect individual social| cultural| and religious locations. The journal| therefore| welcomes submissions from scholars from around the world.
