Abstract

The newly - appointed editorial group members are Philip Culbertson, Angela Stupples, Margot Solomon and me, Paul Solomon. Readers of the Forum will have noticed an increasingly scholarly tone in the journal over time; this issue marks another step in that direction. The Forum is now a peer-reviewed scholarly journal. The editorial group is currently working, in the words of the editorial of issue 5 in 1999, to 'enable the Journal to take its place in the international literature of psychotherapy,' alongside other psychotherapy journals in Australia, Britain, America, and other countries. Whether the transition requires a change of name, from Forum to Journal, is a topic for discussion in the newsletter, by our Council, and by all members.
