The Journal of Abnormal Psychology is a peer-reviewed academic journal published by the American Psychological Association (APA). The journal has been in publication for 110 years, and it is considered to be a "preeminent outlet for research in psychopathology".
The Journal of Abnormal Psychology addresses the following major areas of focus:
The journal began publication in April 1906 under the ownership of Richard G. Badger of Boston and the editorship of Morton Prince. In 1921, the name was changed to the Journal of Abnormal Psychology and Social Psychology under the guiding assumption of the era that states of mind can only be judged to be "normal" or not against a background of the prevailing social norms of the particular time and place. In 1925, this was simplified to Journal of Abnormal and Social Psychology, the title it would go by for the next 40 years. Upon Prince's death in 1929, the journal was purchased by the American Psychological Association and the editorship fell to Henry T. Moore, the president of Skidmore College. In 1938, the prominent personality theorist Gordon W. Allport became the journal's editor. In 1965, the name reverted to simply the Journal of Abnormal Psychology, the same year that the Journal of Personality and Social Psychology began publication.
The editor of the Journal of Abnormal Psychology is Sherryl Goodman of Emory University. Goodman is a former associate editor of the Journal of Family Psychology. She has served on the editing boards for other journals, including Developmental Psychology and the Journal of Abnormal Child Psychology. Goodman's research on developmental psychpopathology includes "the complex ways that depression is transmitted across generations."
