Dr. Gávi Ansara was an obvious choice for this role. His commitment to anti-oppressive practice within communities of people with lived experiences of marginalisation, exclusion, and oppression provides inspiration for many, myself included. It has been my honour to assist Gávi in creating this important, timely issue.Many other people have contributed to the development of this issue, including Dr.
What we write about when we write about psychotherapy and counselling pacja.org.au/2019/09/editorial-what-we-write-about-when-we-write-about-psychotherapy-and-counselling Return to Journal Articles Rhys Price-Robertson, PhD, PACJA EditorThis journal is a forum for people to share their writing on psychotherapy and counselling. To enter this forum, writing must meet certain criteria. There are the explicit criteria of academic style and prose (e.g., word count, referencing style, line spacing). And then there are the largely implicit criteria; the assumptions we share, as a community of practitioners, about the topics that are pertinent for us explore, the questions that are meaningful for us to ask, and the forms of knowledge that best guide our work. While the explicit criteria are provided on this journal's website, it tends to be shared assumptions that most powerfully shape the contributions that appear in this journal, and, more generally, the written voices we assume as professionals.
Psychotherapy and Counselling Journal of Australia (PACJA) on working with trauma. This issue follows the Psychotherapy and Counselling Federation of Australia's (PACFA) successful 2019 conference on the same topic.I invited Emeritus Professor Judy Atkinson to write a guest editorial for this issue because she has done much to raise awareness of those forms of trauma that are especially salient in Australia, a country grappling with the ongoing impacts of colonisation. Many other people have contributed to the development of this issue, including former PACJA Editor Dr. James Vicars and the PACJA Editorial Board. This issue marks the first time that PACJA has released two issues in the same year. This is a significant development, and part of a broader strategy to increasingly professionalise PACJA.

I am excited to announce the release of Volume 9(2) of the Psychotherapy and Counselling Journal of Australia (PACJA), which was partially compiled under my tenure and partially compiled and completed by Acting Editor, Dr. Gávi Ansara. This issue contains a blend of articles and book reviews from before and after Dr. Ansara's recent initiative to integrate current international standards in publication ethics into PACJA's editorial process. This initiative included raising awareness with reviewers and authors regarding the 7th edition of the Publication Manual of the American Psychological Association (APA) (2020), which contains a chapter on reducing bias in language that APA considers as essential as referencing, mechanics of style, or any other key component of APA publication standards.
