Clinical Psychology Review publishes substantive reviews of topics germane to clinical psychology. Papers cover diverse issues including: psychopathology, psychotherapy, behavior therapy, cognition and cognitive therapies, behavioral medicine, community mental health, assessment, and child development. Papers should be cutting edge and advance the science and/or practice of clinical psychology. Reviews on other topics, such as psychophysiology, learning therapy, experimental psychopathology, and social psychology often appear if they have a clear relationship to research or practice in clinical psychology. Integrative literature reviews and summary reports of innovative ongoing clinical research programs are also sometimes published. Reports on individual research studies and theoretical treatises or clinical guides without an empirical base are not appropriate.

《临床心理学评论》发表了与临床心理学密切相关的主题的实质性评论。论文涵盖了各种 问题，包括：心理病理学，心理疗法，行为疗法，认知和认知疗法，行为医学，社区心理 健康，评估和儿童发育。论文应该是最前沿的，并可以促进临床心理学的科学和/或实践 。 如果其他主题与临床心理学的研究或实践有着明确的关系，则经常会出现对其他主题的评 论，例如心理生理学，学习疗法，实验性心理病理学和社会心理学。有时还会出版有关正 在进行的创新临床研究计划的综合文献评论和总结报告。没有经验基础的关于个别研究和 理论论文或临床指南的报告是不合适的。
