American Journal of Psychoanalysis

Aims & Scope

The American Journal of Psychoanalysis, founded by Karen Horney in 1941, is a peer-reviewed psychoanalytic quarterly that serves as an international platform for a broad spectrum of theoretical, clinical, professional, and cultural concepts in psychoanalysis. Has a prestigious history with more than 85 years in publication. Affiliated with the Association for the Advancement of Psychoanalysis (AAP). Publishes original papers, brief communications, book reviews, film reviews, and special issues on single topics, and reports on the activities of the Karen Horney Psychoanalytic Center. Welcomes contributions that address the interests and concerns of scholars and practitioners of psychoanalysis and contribute meaningfully to the understanding of human experience.

A twelfth criterion — whether APC fees are clearly disclosed — is not scored here; it is left out of the total rather than counted as a failure. Publication charges appear in the metrics card above.
