“Advances in Child and Family Policy and Practice,” a Springer Briefs series published in affiliation with Div. 37, serves as a forum for discussion of issues related to social policy and services for children, adolescents and families with a psychosocial perspective. Briefs may include literature and conceptual review papers; analyses of policy trends; evaluations of programs, policies, and systems; case examples of public and private policy issues; and advocacy needs, successes, and failures to demonstrate applications in which psychological expertise may be applied.
We are currently looking for author recommendations and expanded topics for the volume series on these and related topics: children in sex trafficking; children in the opioid crisis; refugee and migrant children; child homelessness; African American youth; and juvenile justice. Please contact editor Lisa Gennetian with your questions and suggestions.
