Call for Papers
The Association of Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual & Transgender Issues in Counseling (ALGBTIC), a division of the American
Counseling Association (ACA) is inviting submissions
for our next special edition of "The Journal of LGBT Issues in Counseling".
This edition will focus on Counseling related to Addictions & Substance
Abuse within the LGBT community. The intent of this special edition is to publish
articles relevant to working with sexual minorities around issues pertinent to
this special focus, and that will be of interest to counselors, counselor educators,
and other counseling related professionals that work across a diversity of fields,
including in schools, mental health settings, family agencies, and colleges and
universities. This journal welcomes the submission of articles that reflect our
special focus and are pertinent to the health of sexual minority individuals
and communities, and should focus in one of the following areas: (1) new research
in the field of counseling, (2) a review of the literature that critically integrates
previous work around a specific topic, (3) introduction of new techniques or
innovation in service delivery within the counseling field, or (4) theoretical
or conceptual pieces that reflect new ideas or new ways of integrating previously
held ideas. The deadline for submissions is October 31, 2007, with the hope to
submit this special edition early in 2008 to our publisher. These dates are subject
to change.
All submissions should be prepared
accorded to the guidelines of the most recent Publication
Manual of the American Psychological Association,
including the use of citations and references, and
inclusion of non-discriminatory language. Submissions
should be no longer than 5-50 pages. While this journal
will be a hard copy journal, manuscripts should be
sent electronically, as attachments via the e-mail
address below. All work should be done in Microsoft
Word. Tables and figures should be used only when
essential, and illustrations or graphs should be
embedded in your manuscript at their appropriate
place. Please make sure to include author contact
information, including phone and e-mail. If accepted
for publication, final manuscripts should be publication

to secure permission to use any copyrighted materials
within their manuscript. We ask that you indicate
in your cover letter which of the four areas that
this journal focuses on (see above) best fits your
