Subject: (3) Announcement: A New Law Review/Psychology Journal
PSYCHOLOGY, PUBLIC POLICY, AND LAW
This journal is an official law review at a small consortium of law
schools (currently consisting of the University of Arizona College of
Law and the University of Miami School of Law), and is published
quarterly (March, June, Sept, Dec) by the American Psychological
Association.
For subscription information, contact the Subscriptions Department,
American Psychological Association, 750 First Street, NE, Washington,
DC 20002-4242. TELEPHONE: 202-336-5500.
EDITOR
BRUCE SALES, Department of Psychology and College of Law,
University of Arizona
PSYCHOLOGY, PUBLIC POLICY, AND LAW focuses on the links between
psychology as a science, relevant information derived from related
disciplines as sciences (hereinafter psychology), and public policy and
law. It will publish articles that
-critically evaluate the actual and potential contributions of
psychology to public policy and legal issues,
-assess the desirability of different public policy and legal
alternatives in light of the scientific knowledge base in
psychology,
-articulate research needs that address public policy and legal
issues for which there is currently insufficient theoretical and
empirical knowledge, and
-examine public policy and legal issues relating to the conduct
of psychology and of related disciplines where relevant to
psychology.
The journal explicitly encourages submission by scholars of
theoretical, conceptual, and critical reviews dealing with psychology
and with relevant information derived from related disciplines, law,
and policy studies. Lengths of submitted manuscripts can exceed 75
pages, because the journal encourages authors to write comprehensive
pieces, rather than submitting smaller pieces to multiple journals.
Manuscripts can be written in law review or APA style.
The journal will not routinely serve as an outlet for primary reports
of empirical research, although it encourages the submission of
articles that present the results of empirical research that make a
substantial contribution to public policy and law. Such articles will
typically consist of reports of a programmatic series of empirical
studies or report on the results of large-scale multijurisdictional or
longitudinal research.
Anyone who is interested in discussing ideas for articles or for
special issues of the journal should feel free to contact the Editor,
Bruce D. Sales, PhD, JD, at the journal office: (Internet)
pp...@ccit.arizona.edu; (Telephone) 520-621-8767; (Fax) 520-621-3105.
Goals For Journal
To provide a multidisciplinary forum for scholarship and interchange;
to provide a forum for the publication of comprehensive, scholarly
articles that critically consider theoretical, conceptual, and doctrinal
issues or that critically review the literature relevant to the mission
of the journal; and
to provide a forum for the publication of comprehensive, scholarly
articles that report the results of programs of research or large-scale
empirical studies relevant to the mission of the journal.

ABSTRACT: It is argued on the basis of certain mathematical
characteristics that classical mechanics is not constitutionally suited
to accommodate consciousness, whereas quantum mechanics is. These
mathematical characteristics pertain to the nature of the information
represented in the state of the brain, and the way this information
enters into the dynamics.

Call for Papers and Information for Contributors
Journal of Behavior Analysis and Therapy (jBAT)
ISSN 1081-6399

Journal of Behavior Analysis and Therapy (jBAT)
Within the next several months a new type of electronic journal will be
appearing at the following World Wide Web site:
http://rs1.cc.und.nodak.edu/misc/jBAT/
The Journal of Behavior Analysis and Therapy (jBAT) will be a
peer-reviewed journal of basic behavior analysis, applied behavior
analysis and behavior theory and therapy. The journal will have full
graphical capabilities as well. The editorial board of jBAT is
composed of an international assemblage of behavior analysts, behavior
therapists, and behavioral theoreticians. Sections of jBAT will be
devoted to behavioral assessment, behavior therapy (child and adult),
and other cutting edge behavioral research in applied behavior
analysis, behavioral medicine, behavioral pharmacology, organizational
behavior management, development and behavior analysis, behavior
analysis and education, and methodological issues in behavior
analysis. A section of jBAT will also be dedicated to student issues
and research in behavior analysis and therapy. Another section of jBAT
will be devoted to reviewing and abstracting other cutting edge
research in basic and applied behavior analysis. Comprehensive review
articles are welcome on a topic relevant to behavior analysis, broadly
defined. In short, the journal would be a comprehensive treatment
of advances in behavior analysis and therapy, integrating basic
behavioral research, and cutting across the disciplines of behavior
analysis and behavior therapy. This type of journal does not even
appear in the printed area at present. The coupling of this new format
for the integration of behavior analysis and behavior therapy, as well
as the use of the Internet for rapid dissemination of empirical data
and reviews over the World Wide Web puts this project in a unique
position in the history of our scientific discipline.
