Each year, four of the monthly issues are dedicated to In Session, a section that focuses on clinical issues that may be encountered by psychotherapists. In Session is editorially independent from the main journal. From 1995 - 1999 it was published as a separate journal titled, In Session: Psychotherapy in Practice.

From time to time, the journal publishes special issues, containing a selection of articles related to a single particularly timely or important theme.

According to the Journal Citation Reports, the journal has a 2011 impact factor of 2.116, ranking it 31st out of 109 journals in the category "Psychology, Clinical."

In 2001, the editor-in-chief of the Journal of Clinical Psychology agreed to publish, without peer review, five articles on Roger Callahan's Thought Field Therapy.[1][2][3][4][5] In lieu of peer review, critiques were published alongside each article.[6][7][8] The critics agreed that each of the five studies contained serious flaws that rendered them uninterpretable by them and reinforced the conclusion that Thought Field Therapy was a pseudoscience.
