CALL FOR PAPERS

Please submit your manuscript that examines issues of families and family
separations and connections to the Family Preservation Journal by Nov. 1,
2003.  Marianne Berry is the new editor of the Family Preservation Journal,
and seeks to continue to publish high quality manuscripts on research,
practice models, and practitioner insights in the broad arena of the
preservation of families.

The Family Preservation Journal defines family preservation very broadly,
and accepts manuscripts concerning all problems, populations, policies, and
programs dealing with the separation of children and families, be it foster
care, juvenile detention, parental incarceration, and so.   We consider
articles at the individual, community and policy level.

Our editorial board contains such luminaries in the field as Peter Pecora
(U. Washington), Anthony Maluccio (Boston College), Ann Hartman (Smith
College), Richard Barth (U. North Carolina), William Meezan (U. Michigan)
and more.    The editorial board is trained and advised that the journal
operates from a strengths perspective when critiqueing manuscripts, and is
urged to return their reviews within 4 weeks.  Those who cannot follow these
guidelines are removed from the editorial board.  In the editorial review
process, the manuscript goes out to two blind reviewers, and I, as editor,
break any ties.  I have served as the guest editor of the Journal for the
past two issues, so I urge you to check out these issues if you are
interested in the quality and types of articles we will publish under my
editorship.

This first year will be a transitional year, and we are operating on a very
fast schedule to move from two issues per year to one issue per year.
Therefore, we are issuing this Call for Papers by November 1, 2003.  We hope
to review, edit and publish the first issue by June, 2004.

Please submit 3 copies of your manuscript, double spaced, APA to the address
below by November 1, 2003.
