Editor’s Note

Abstract

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.
