Intervention Journal is intended for mental health workers such as psychiatrists, psychotherapists and psychiatric nurses, but also for counsellors, psycho-social workers and community workers, staff members of NGO’s developing mental health or psychosocial projects, and international experts in the field.
Editorial policy
The objective of Intervention is to improve quality of mental health services, counselling services and psychosocial interventions by publishing articles that;
Report the practical experience of fieldworkers, so that the experience can become an example for fieldworkers in other regions
Present a practical approach in such a way that fieldworkers are inspired to try out parts of it in practice, or
Provide detailed accounts of a project that might inspire others to carry out similar interventions, or
Describe strategies and processes of fieldwork, or
Demonstrate how theory can be used in practice and how practical experience challenges theoretical views, thus building a bridge between theory and practice in the field, or
Based challenge generally accepted theoretical ideas or contribute new concepts, or
Provide research data or review literature relevant for fieldworkers
Stimulate the discussion between fieldworkers with diverging approaches and between fieldworkers, academics and policy makers.
Articles should be relevant and understandable for at least management-level fieldworkers and if possible to frontline fieldworkers with minimal training.
