The Journal of Trauma & Dissociation publishes Special Issues that focus on a particular topic and usually are guest edited.

All submissions are subjected to expert scrutiny via a thorough peer review process. Final acceptance is based on approval by both the special issue guest editors and the editor-in-chief of the Journal of Trauma & Dissociation.
