L’évolution passée et future du JTCC/JBCT

The AFTCC Board of Directors, with the support of Elsevier, has voted to move the JTCC/JBCT towards an international format: the JBCT, an English-only journal aimed at publishing high-level research in the field of cognitive-behavioral psychology. In an effort to respond to members’ needs, a second journal will be created and entirely devoted to publishing case studies. Thus, the two publications of the AFTCC will better meet the needs of both the scientific and therapeutic communities represented by its members. The current editorial retraces the recent editorial evolution of the JTCC; a French only journal that increased in popularity and quality over its first two decades of existence, then evolved into a bilingual format in year 2013. This new step towards an English-only journal represents a coherent passage in this evolution, as it will no doubt result in furthering the steadily growing quality of the publication seen over its lifespan. Thus, this radical reform is not just a logical step in the evolutionary process of the JTCC/JBCT, but will permit the journal to achieve at the highest scientific level possible in the coming years.
