CCAA Journal - Purpose and How to Contribute

The CCAA Journal has begun to establish a professional Christian presence in the arena of Counselling and Psychotherapy. Our aims in producing a National Journal are:

  • To publicise and promote Christian Counsellors Association of Australia (CCAA) to the professional counselling community.
  • To develop the practice and understanding of Counselling and Psychotherapy through research, theory and experience.
  • To provide an avenue for appropriate written expression to the Christian counselling fraternity.
  • To express the values, vision and mission of CCAA.

 

Contribution of articles to CCAA for publication is welcomed, subject to the following guidelines:

  1. Content to be relevant to the editorial theme. The theme for the 2011 publication: Relationship counselling, managing the complexities and competing needs.
  2. Articles are to be between 1000 – 2500 words, and reflect a scholarly approach to the subject matter. Research and the substantiation of key points and arguments are expected.
  3. Readability – material to be organised, with use of appropriate nomenclature for professional counselling. Style may be narrative or analytical, and stated in the third person. Microsoft Word 97 for PC is preferred. Ariel font, ten point size, double spaced with margins and pagination.
  4. A short paragraph on your professional interests, qualifications, professional memberships and therapeutic approach should accompany your submission, together with a passport-sized coloured photo.
  5. Please provide a bibliography, APA style, at the conclusion of your article. In-text referencing (with the exception of directly quoted material) and footnotes are discouraged.
