The Person-Centered Journal

The Person-Centered Journal (PCJ) is the oldest continuously running person-centered peer reviewed publication in English. It is sponsored by the Association for the Development of the Person-Centered Approach (ADPCA) to promote and disseminate scholarly thinking about person-centered principles, practices, and philosophy.

The Journal is co-edited by Mei Liou Zarnitsyna and Jane Flotte. They may be contacted via pcj@x.adpca.org. The book reviews are edited by Ross Balcom, who may be contacted at pcjbookreview@x.adpca.org. Authors interested in submitting manuscripts are welcome to email article submissions to pcj@x.adpca.org and book review submissions to pcjbookreview@x.adpca.org.

A limited number of advertisements may be made in the Journal at affordable rates. For further information, you may also contact the editors at the above address. Please specify whether your business is non-profit.

PCJ is published as a double issue per year. Membership inquiries may be sent to Rachel Agnew, ADPCA Membership Coordinator, at membership@x.adpca.org. All materials contained in the Journal are the property of the ADPCA. If you are interested in reproducing articles, please send your requests to Mei and Jane.
