Journal of Therapeutic Schools and Programs (JTSP)
The NATSAP Journal of Therapeutic Schools and Programs (JTSP) is now available.
You may request your copy by sending a
Request for JTSP to the NATSAP office as indicated on the request.
For more information on the Journal of Therapeutic Schools and Programs (JTSP), select the topic of interest.
Purpose of the Journal
The Journal has the goal of prodding the NATSAP membership to think more deeply about our profession.
We support all employees of NATSAP programs in their continuing development toward becoming more thoughtful,
reflective practitioners who contribute to improving our work with children and families. We encourage and
welcome empirical research in the JTSP, and we also encourage thoughtful reviews, clinical case studies, and
considerations of education, recreation, program, risk management, and program management as well. We encourage
each of us to think and write about what we are doing to stimulate involvement and progress, as well as provide
a forum to explore important ideas that are so intrinsic to our work.
Michael Gass, Ph.D. from the University of New Hampshire and Keith Russell, Ph.D. from the University of
Minnesota hold the editorial and managerial responsibilities for the
Journal of Therapeutic Schools and
Programs (JTSP). Both Dr. Gass and Dr. Russell have extensive professional publication and research
experience that will continue to help us create professionally credible journals.
Submitting Articles for Publication in the Journal
We are accepting articles for future issues of the Journal of Therapeutic Schools and Programs (JTSP) and
encourage submissions that help us better understand aspects of our field surrounding program design, development,
implementation and evaluation. Topics pertaining to specific treatment approaches, particularly innovative ones
and those directed toward special populations and other clients with special needs are solicited. Submissions
related to management and leadership approaches are welcomed as are those related to staff recruitment, selection,
training and retention as well as general policies related to personnel management. Articles that share thoughts
regarding inter-disciplinary integration as well as those that focus on critical incident planning and
governmental/regulatory relationships and funding issues would be highly valued. Submissions relating extant
theory to clinical practice would be welcomed as would papers that produce findings resulting from clinical
research of relevance, though it must be emphasized that JTSP is intended to share information of a nature useful
to member programs, and is not intended to be a publication with purely academic relevance.
Those interested in submitting for the Journal are requested to follow the
Instructions for Authors available on
this website. Dr. Gass and Dr. Russell are willing to assist authors, particularly those without previous publication
experience, in crafting their articles for publication. Volumes of the
Journal of Therapeutic Schools and Programs
(JTSP)
will be published at the beginning and middle of each year.
