The Journal of Child and Adolescent Trauma (JCAT)
The Journal of Child & Adolescent Trauma presents original research, prevention, and treatment strategies for dealing with symptoms and disorders related to the psychological effects of trauma on children and adolescents. The journal examines the effects of: childhood maltreatment; loss; natural disasters; political conflict; exposure to or victimization from family or community violence; ethnic, gender, or class discrimination; and physical injury, diseases, and painful or debilitating medical treatments. It also examines intervention models directed toward: the individual, family, and community; new theoretical models and approaches; and public policy proposals and innovations. With a multidisciplinary approach that draws input from the psychological, medical, social work, sociological, public health, and legal fields, the journal features original research, theoretical articles, specific review articles, brief reports and case studies, and commentaries on current and/or controversial topics.

**Call For Papers: Trauma and Children in Military Families**

The Journal of Child and Adolescent Trauma announces a forthcoming special issue on Trauma and Children in Military Families. Manuscripts that address a wide variety of topics involving the effects of trauma exposure and PTSD on children in military families will be considered for this special issue. Of particular interest are methodologically well-designed empirical studies that address topics such as:

Effects of military parents’ posttraumatic stress on their children’s adaptation and development

Children’s coping with parental PTSD arising from combat trauma

Children traumatized by the death of a military parent

Intergenerational transmission of PTSD among military families

Evidence-based prevention and intervention programs for children of traumatized military personnel

In order to obtain well-rounded coverage of relevant issues, we ask potential contributors to submit paper ideas via email in the form of a detailed summary (i.e., 500-700 words) that highlights the theoretical model/conceptual framework informing the work, the quality of the methodology used, and the implications/unique contributions of the results. Proposals should be sent to Patricia Kerig, PhD at the University of Utah (p.kerig@utah.edu) no later than October 1, 2010. Please use “JCAT Military Families” as the subject line. Submissions will be invited by December 1 and solicited submissions will then be due no later than March 31, 2011.

The Journal of Child Sexual Abuse (JCSA)
The Journal of Child Sexual Abuse is interdisciplinary and provides an essential interface for researchers, academicians, attorneys, clinicians, and practitioners. The journal advocates for increased networking in the sexual abuse field, greater dissemination of information and research, a higher priority for this international epidemic, and development of effective assessment, intervention, and prevention programs. Divided into sections to provide clear information, the journal covers research issues, clinical issues, legal issues, prevention programs, case studies, and brief reports, focusing on three subject groups: child and adolescent victims of sexual abuse or incest, adult survivors of childhood sexual abuse or incest, and sexual abuse or incest offenders. Research, treatment approaches and techniques, prevention, intervention, and other programs concerning any of these groups are general categories of the published articles and brief reports. The articles emphasize applying research, treatment, and interventions to practical situations so the importance of the results will be clear.

The Journal of Aggression, Maltreatment, and Trauma (JAMT)
The Journal of Aggression, Maltreatment and Trauma publishes cutting-edge information on physical and emotional abuse, interpersonal aggression, maltreatment, and trauma. JAMT topic areas can include, but are not limited to, child maltreatment and spouse/partner abuse, sexual assault and sexual harassment, assessment of victims and perpetrators, aggression in the workplace or in schools, violence and criminal behavior, innovative treatment and model programs, and ethnic and multicultural issues. JAMT also publishes thematic issues featuring guest editors who focus on a particular aspect of these topics.
