Theory & Psychology publishes three types of reviews: Regular Book Reviews (approximately 1,000 words), Review Essays (full length articles reviewing multiple books on a related topic), and Review Notes (approximately 500 words).  The journal reviews newly released monographs broadly relevant to theory in psychology and attempts to cover a diverse range of topics in the review section.  Books chosen for review are deemed important or ground-breaking in some way.   Moreover, specialists are asked to review in depth rather than describe contents superficially.  (Several sample book reviews may be obtained from Volume 12(3) by clicking this link .  Note that this is a pdf file.)
