LETTER FROM THE EDITORS: 
 
Now in its 11th year, the Graduate Student Journal of Psychology (GSJP) has made great progress in its 
efforts to bring student research to the forefront. As with past editors of the GSJP, we began this academic 
year with several ideas on how to improve upon the previous issue. And much to our delight, the journal’s 
increased exposure (across the U.S. and Canada) and growing number of article submissions called for 
organizational restructuring. We were quick to identify areas within our editorial process that could be 
streamlined. While maintaining the intrinsic excitement and charm of a student group, we adopted a 
structured management style putting into place our first editorial board. Our editors began work on their 
respective divisions at the very beginning of the academic year fulfilling their responsibilities assiduously 
as the year progressed.  
 
It is our belief that the benefits of implementing a formal structure to our process are evident in this final 
product – Volume 11. Submissions were reviewed, re-reviewed, copy-edited, and formatted in a seamless 
sequence yielding one of the journal’s most diverse volumes ranging from The Physiology of 
Psychotherapy to Neuroscience and the Law. The breadth and depth of the articles in this issue reflects 
the focused effort of every member of our dedicated editorial board. Of course, we also greatly value the 
work of our contributing authors, not only for their important and interesting research, but also for their 
commitment and cooperation throughout this journey. Finally, we would like to acknowledge our faculty 
advisor and Director of Clinical Training, Dr. Barry Farber, who has been the cornerstone of our 
journalistic endeavors providing sage advice and support while encouraging independent decision-
making.  
 
Going forward, we plan to keep enhancing the journal and expanding our readership, and in so doing, 
adding to GSJP’s brilliant legacy. We hope you enjoy the final product of our combined efforts as much 
as we did producing it.
