Abstract

From 1993–2006 the Journal of Clinical Psychology in Medical Settings (JCPMS) was under the helm of its founding editor, Ron Rozensky, Ph.D., and his editorial board. In 2007 a new editorial board will guide JCPMS. This manuscript outlines the anticipated driving forces for the future of JCPMS and highlights the challenges and opportunities the journal faces.
