1.
MISSION. The Journal of Trauma & Dissociation is
the official journal of the International Society for
the Study of Trauma and Dissociation. The Journal is
dedicated to publishing peer-reviewed scientific literature
on dissociation, the dissociative disorders, posttraumatic
stress disorder, psychological trauma and its sequelae,
and on aspects of memory associated with psychological
trauma and dissociation. The Journal of Trauma & Dissociation seeks
manuscripts on theory, basic science research, clinical
treatment and research related to psychological trauma,
dissociation and traumatic memory in children and adults.
The Journal welcomes contributions from anthropological,
cross-cultural, neurobiological, pharmacologic, physiologic,
psychological, psychometric, psychotherapeutic, and social
viewpoints. The journal is published quarterly.
2. TYPES OF ARTICLES.The Journal
of Trauma & Dissociation accepts review articles,
theoretical articles, original research articles, clinical
contributions, case reports, and letters to the editors.
Authors should specify the type of article they are submitting.
The editors may reclassify the type of submission as
appropriate. The Journal does not review or
publish first person case reports (accounts of authors'
personal psychological experiences). Due to our value
on authenticity and veracity of crucial case information,
composite case studies are not published. The Journal does
not publish unsolicited book reviews but welcomes recommendations
of recent books for book reviews. Book authors and publishers
should send copies of books for review to either of the
Book Review Associate Editors and should notify the Editors
by email of the name and author of the books sent to
the Book Review Editors.
3. PRIOR PUBLICATION. Submission of
a manuscript to the Journal of Trauma and Dissociation represents
a certification on the part of the author(s) that it is original
material, and that neither the manuscript or a version of
it has been published elsewhere, is not being considered for
publication elsewhere, and has been approved by each author.
Any form of publication other than an abstract of less than
400 words constitutes prior publication. This includes portions
of symposia, proceedings, books/chapters, invited papers or
any types of reports, and electronic databases. Authors wishing
to submit manuscripts involving data or clinical observations
previously used in published, in press, submitted (or to be
submitted) papers should provide the Editor with this relevant
information an explanation regarding how those papers differ
from the current submission.
4. AUTHORSHIP. Authorship credit should
be limited to those who have made substantial contributions
to the article in terms of design, data collection,
data analysis and interpretation, and drafting and revising
the manuscript. Acquisition of funding or provision
of data alone is not sufficient to merit authorship.
General supervision of the research group is not sufficient
either. Individuals contributing less than a key role
to the paper should be recognized in an Acknowledgement.
Editors may require authors to justify the assignment
of authorship. Each author must take public responsibility
for the content of the article.
5. DISCLOSURE OF COMPETING INTERESTS. All
forms of financial support must be stated in an
Acknowledgment. Any commercial or financial involvements
among the authors that might present the appearance
of a conflict of interest in connection with the
submitted article should be disclosed in the cover
letter. Such involvements may include (but are
not limited to) institutional or corporate affiliations
not already specified, paid consultations, stock
ownership or other equity involvement, patent ownership,
travel funds, and royalties received from rating
scales, inventions, or therapeutic methods. The
Editor may share this information with the reviewers,
but such involvements will not represent automatic
grounds for rejection of the submission. A statement
of such involvements will accompany the article,
if published. Authors will be asked to attest in
writing concerning any competing interests at the
time of copyright transfer.
6. PATIENT INFORMED CONSENT
AND PAITENT PRIVACY. Authors
must have written informed consent from any patient/clients
described in case study material. The
authors must take steps to protect the identity
of patients reported in case reports and elsewhere.
Identifying information (e.g., names, initials,
hospitals, dates) must be avoided or changed. Note
that authors must both protect the integrity of
the case study information such that crucial details
for interpretation are retained, and protect patient
privacy such that non-crucial details that could
violate the privacy of the patient are changed. Authors
who wish guidelines for protection of patient anonymity
are referred to “Statements from the Vancouver
Group, International Committee of Medical Journal
Editors” in British Medical Journal 1991;
302: 1194. Authors submitting case study material
will be required to complete a “Case Illustrating
Checklist” available from the Editor and
at http://dynamic.uoregon.edu/~jjf/jtd/. Within
the case report itself there should be a statement
that the patient/client has given informed written
consent for the publication and that the identity
of the patient/client has been disguised by omission
and alteration of non-crucial information.
7. INSTITUTIONAL REVIEW BOARD APPROVAL
AND INFORMED CONSENT. Papers that report
results of data collected from human participants
must include a statement that written informed
consent was obtained from participants after adequately
explaining the study’s procedures to them.
Deviations from the standard written informed consent
process should be fully explained. Approval by
an Institutional Review Board or Ethics Committee
should be documented and mentioned in the written
report.
8. MANUSCRIPT LENGTH. Manuscript
articles may be 1,500 to 7,500 words (approximately
six to 30 double-spaced pages) including references
and tables and figures, as appropriate to the type
of article. Lengthier manuscripts may be considered
for special reasons or circumstances. In general,
review articles are longer in length, theoretical
articles, research reports, and clinical discussions
are of moderate length, and case reports are brief
in length. Letters to the editor may contain no
more than 500 words and 3 references, and must
be received within 10 weeks of the original article's
publication. Letters to the editor are reviewed
in a manner similar to other manuscripts.
9. MANUSCRIPT FORMAT. Manuscripts
must be prepared in a standard U.S. letter or A4
page format, double-spaced, with 1 inch or 3 centimeter
margins on all sides. Text font should be proportional
and with serif (e.g., Times New Roman 12 point
font). Manuscripts should have the following order:
Title page, abstract, text, references, tables
and figures. Pages should be numbered beginning
with the title page.
Title Page
Title page must include, title; authors and degrees; location
of the institution and place where the work was done; corresponding
author's name, address, telephone number, fax number, and
e-mail address; word count; key words for index purposes;
and acknowledgment of previous presentation, grant support,
commercial support, or other credit. For mailing of a complimentary
copy of the issue in which your article is published, please
supply a postal mailing address for each author. Please place
addresses of authors other than the Corresponding Author
on a separate page immediately after the Title Page.
Abstract
A single paragraph abstract of 100-250 words must be provided.
Text
The text should contain an introduction that describes the
objectives of the article and a review of the relevant scientific
literature. Subsequent sections should describe the main
subject matter (theoretical, clinical or research), a discussion
of the subject matter, and conclusions. Research papers must
include sections on methods and results, followed by discussion.
Methods must contain an adequate description of instruments,
research participants and statistical analyses, and results
must be fully reported including the test values, degrees
of freedom, whether tests were one- or two-tailed, probability
and significance, and N values as appropriate. Research articles
involving research with human participants must include a
statement that informed consent was obtained.

Citations in Text
Use the author-date method within parentheses inserted into
the text.
1. Work by one author: (Putnam, 1989).
2. Work by two authors: (Cardeña & Spiegel, 1993). Cite both names
every time the reference occurs in the text. Use no comma between authors.
3. Work by three, four or five authors: First text citation: (Van der Hart, Van
Kijke, Van Son, & Steele, 2000). Use commas after all authors. Subsequent
text citations: (Van der Hart et al., 2000).
4. Work by six or more authors: In all text citations, use only the surname of
the first author followed by et al. and the year of publication, e.g., (Ross
et al., 1992).
5. Organizations as authors: Spell out the name of the organization the first
time it is cited in the text. The organization name may be abbreviated in subsequent
in-text citations only if the abbreviation is listed with the spelled out name
in the first citation. First text citation: (International Society for the Study
of Dissociation [ISSD], 1997). Subsequent text citations – use either of
two formats: (ISSD, 1997) or (International Society for the Study of Dissociation,
1997).
6. Works by the same author(s) within the same year: Use the suffixes a, b, c,
etc. following the date to distinguish works by the same author(s) within the
same year. The first work cited in the text will be “a”, the second
work will be “b”, etc., e.g., (Coons, 1994a, 1994b).
7. If there are two or more multiple author citations with the same first author
within the same year, cite the surnames of as many subsequent authors as needed
to distinguish references, e.g., (Van der Hart, Nijenhuis et al., 2001; Van der
Hart, Steele et al., 2001).
8. Order of citation: When citing two or more works within the same parenthesis,
list them in alphabetical order by the surname of the first author. Separate
citations by semicolons. If citing the same author(s) more than once, place works
in chronological order by publication dates separated by commas. Example: (Allen,
1997; Allison, 1978; Chu & Bowman, 2000; Kluft 1985a, 1985b, 1986; Kluft & Fine,
1993; Michelson & Ray, 1996; Ross et al., 1992).9. Quotations: Citations
for quotations must contain page numbers, e.g., (Van der Hart et al., pp. 35-36).

Graphics, Tables, Figures, and Illustrations
All graphics must be “camera-ready.” Tables should be prepared using
standard word processing software (MS Word preferred). Illustrations should be
prepared using either graphics software or artistically rendered in black ink
so that they can be used either as they are or reduced in size. Whenever possible,
figures should be submitted with the manuscript in digital form. Fonts should
be proportional and sans serif (e.g., Arial). Author name(s) and manuscript name
should be lightly written on the reverse of graphics. Indicate in the text the
approximate placement of all graphics. Graphics including photographs are considered
part of accepted manuscripts and are retained by the Publisher. If submitted
graphics are unacceptable for publication, the Publisher reserves the right to
redo the graphics and to charge the author(s) a fee of $35 per hour for this
service.
10. MANUSCRIPT STYLE. Authors who need a guide for English
journal writing may wish to refer to the Style section of “Suggestions
to Authors” in Neurology 1996; 46: 298-300. The editors are recommending
only the writing style section.Use gender inclusive language. In referring
to human beings, authors should use the phrases “in humans,” “in
humankind,” or “in human beings,” rather than the phrase “in
man” or the word “man.” Authors should avoid “he” in
referring to generic persons as well as the awkward “he/she” construction
by making the subject plural, e.g., “Therapists should inquire about
amnesia whenever they suspect dissociation,” rather than “A therapist
should inquire about amnesia whenever he/she suspects dissociation.” Alternatively,
when referring to hypothetical persons, authors may alternate between male
and female subjects. Numbers in the text. Authors should use Arabic numerals
for numbers above nine, and for designators such as Case 4 or Patient 2. Authors
should spell out numbers one through nine and numbers at the beginning sentences.
Use the active voice whenever possible: We will ask authors that rely heavily
on use of the passive voice to re-write manuscripts in the active voice. While
the use of the phrase “the author(s)” is acceptable, we encourage
authors to use first and third person pronouns, i.e., “I” and “we,” to
avoid an awkward or stilted writing style.
11. SUBMISSION AND REVIEW PROCESS. Electronic
(email) submissions. Whenever possible, manuscripts should be submitted
as an email attachment (preferably in MS Word) to Jennifer J. Freyd,
Ph.D. at jtd@dynamic.uoregon.edu. When submitting
manuscripts by email, it is not necessary to submit a printed manuscript
unless requested by the editor. Paper manuscript submissions. Printed
manuscripts and graphics can be submitted to Jennifer J. Freyd, Ph.D.,
Editor, JTD, Department of Psychology, 1227 University of Oregon, Eugene,
OR 97403-1227. All printed manuscripts must be accompanied by a disk
version in PC format. We prefer MS Word format. All papers are peer-reviewed
by anonymous reviewers. Reviewers provide written comments that are sent
to the authors. Authors are informed about the Editor’s decision
after completion of the review process.In most cases, we inform authors
within eight weeks following receipt of the manuscript as to the results
of the initial review of their manuscripts. Authors are responsible for
incorporating any revisions requested by reviewers or editors into a
new digital version of the manuscript. We may make editorial revisions
to manuscripts for clarity and style. We send final manuscripts to the
corresponding author for final revisions. We do not send galley proofs
to author(s).
12. COPYRIGHT TRANSFER. Copyright ownership of
manuscripts must be transferred to the Publisher by signature of
all authors prior to publication. We will send copyright assignment
forms to the corresponding author upon acceptance of a paper.
13. PERMISSION TO REPRINT. The Publisher permits
authors of articles to reprint or copy their own material for
educational use. For all other purposes, permission to reprint
must be obtained from the Publisher. There may be a charge
for permission to reprint.
14. REPRINTS. First authors will receive
25 complimentary reprints of their article several weeks
following publication. Additional reprints may be ordered
through the Publisher.
