Abstract

This chapter orients readers to the mission of the Annual Review of Addictions and Offender Counseling , and distinguishes this text from its related publication, the Journal of Addictions and Offender Counseling . Practical recommendations are provided for authors interested in contributing to these publications. This chapter concludes with recognition of the editorial review team that supported the development of this book.

Keywords: addictions counselor; offender counseling; publication guidelines

The International Association of Addictions and Offender Counselors (IAAOC) affords opportunities for authors to submit manuscripts in either the Journal of Addictions and Offender Counseling (JAOC) or the Annual Review of Addictions and Offender Counseling (Annual Review). It is our hope this chapter assists authors interested in the Annual Review by discussing important steps and common issues related to submission. This guidance may increase the likelihood of acceptance, reduce revisions, and facilitate a smoother and much quicker turnaround to publication in the Annual Review.

A first step is for authors to decide whether to submit to JAOC or the Annual Review. Reviewing the aims and scope of each publication may help with this determination. JAOC is a peer-reviewed journal published twice a year. The journal accepts both qualitative and quantitative manuscripts focused on prevention, intervention, and treatment of addiction and with offender client populations (Wiley Online Library,

2022

). However, its primary mission is to publish research findings (Southern,

2013

). In comparison, the Annual Review is a peer-reviewed monograph published once per year that provides a forum for manuscripts addressing a broad array of topics including innovations in clinical practices, best practices in the addiction and offender field, and developments in the profession (Southern,

2013

). Continuing the mission of past volumes, practical applications are the primary focus of the Annual Review. Manuscripts well-suited for the Annual Review may be conceptual pieces or empirical studies. Authors of conceptual or theoretical manuscripts should aim for a synthesis of ideas in a fresh way while also grounding these ideas in previous research, literature, or theory development. Empirical studies are welcome from all research paradigms, as we recognize the strengths and limitations inherent in each research design.

After determining if the manuscript aligns with the Annual Review mission, authors are strongly encouraged to review their manuscript content against author guidelines and the American Psychological Association’s (APA,

2020

) Publication Manual requirements prior to submission. Author guidelines and the Publication Manual requirements are revised and updated over time, so it is essential authors utilize the current version of both. Authors are encouraged to pay particular attention to the page length requirements in the author guidelines. Manuscripts are limited to

25

pages excluding the title page, abstract, references, and tables or figures. When manuscripts are submitted that exceed the page limit, they are returned to the author for required revision that adheres to the page limit. Authors can avoid this revision and other lack of adherence to the author guidelines that lengthen the review process by ensuring the manuscript follows the author guidelines.

The Publication Manual offers authors clear direction on important manuscript elements such as the content to be included in the title and abstract, in-texts citations, and reference lists. Authors are encouraged to select a title that is focused and succinct, captures the main idea of the manuscript, and engages the readers (APA,

2020

). While the title is important, a well-written abstract, one that is a brief, comprehensive summary of the manuscript, may be the most important paragraph of the manuscript (APA,

2020

). In writing these elements of the manuscript, authors should consider that the title, abstract, and keywords are searchable in databases and can lead readers to the authors’ publication.

Before submitting, authors should do a careful review of the body of the manuscript. Thorough proofreading can identify grammatical and punctuation errors and awkward, incomplete, or run-on sentences that make the manuscript hard to read and distract from its content. There are a couple of ways in which manuscript proof reading can be enhanced. First, it can be helpful to zoom in on the manuscript which increases the size and makes errors more visible. Next, authors can also use text to speech or read aloud features, as hearing manuscript content can reveal errors. Finally, colleagues can also complete a review of the manuscript and identify typos or issues that authors may miss in their own work. Resources are available for language editing and formatting through Wiley. These same review strategies could be used for the reference list, tables, and figures. A common issue identified during the revision process pertains to in-text citations that are without corresponding references, or vice versa. Addressing these basic components prior to submission may reduce revisions and speed up the process to publication.

Authors must consider the readership of the Annual Review which is comprised of master’s and doctoral students, counselors and clinicians, supervisors, and counselor educators whose clinical focus or research interests are addictions and offender counseling. As such, we expect authors to bear in mind the professional identity and needs of our readers. This means manuscript topics, review of the literature, and discussion of results should be informed by and connected to previous research in the counseling field and integrate well with the values of the counseling profession (e.g., wellness orientation). Ultimately, authors should discuss implications for addictions and offender counseling with a particular focus on practical applications in their manuscripts.

A final step is to review all documents to be included in the submission. The cover letter should clearly indicate authors are submitting the manuscript to the Annual Review. Authors who are changing affiliation should ensure correct or updated contact information is submitted, including the author note on the title page of the manuscript. When submitting, authors should review uploaded files to verify the correct file and file format are submitted. We also encourage authors to include ORCID IDs as they are freely available through https://orcid.org. This facilitates connecting the author’s article, if published, to their ORCID profile.

We close this chapter with reflecting on the process emanating this volume. Our efforts as editors are continuing the mission and spirit of the Annual Review from its earliest volume while also maintaining quality and rigor. In this volume, we emphasized innovations in addictions and offender counseling, and this is reflected in the subtitle (New Directions in Research and Practice). We appreciate the authors who entrusted us with their ideas and efforts, responded graciously to feedback, and published in this volume. Finally, as editors of this volume, we wish to express sincere appreciation for our outstanding editorial team members, anchored by the JAOC Editorial Board. Each manuscript underwent a peer review process. These reviewers gave their time and expertise to provide thoughtful, detailed feedback on each manuscript. They assisted immensely in the initial decision-making process, regarding the publication of these manuscripts, and their ongoing revision upon advancement in the process. Included on the JAOC Editorial Board are the following professionals: Katie Braeuer, Paul Carrola, Michael Chaney, Christine Chasek, Philip Clarke, Kristina DePue, Susan R. Furr, Sandy Gibson, Amanda Giordano, Shaywanna Harris, Melanie M. Iarussi, Nate Ivers, Dayle Jones, Kate Lamberson, Nick Lazzareschi, Samir Patel, John Ryals, Afroze Shaikh, Katharine Sperandio, Bryan Stare, Ganella M. Taylor Smith, Edward Wahesh, Joshua Watson, Mark Woodford, John M. Laux (Editor, JAOC), Rochelle Cade (Associate Editor, JAOC), and Dilani Perera (Assistant Editor, JAOC).

We also owe a debt of gratitude to our editorial assistants for this book, Kathryn Badger from The College of New Jersey, and Ryan Wisniewski from The University of Toledo. These graduate students were simply outstanding. They dedicated themselves to this project, providing superb editing and careful proof-reading of manuscripts. We thank them for their commitment, time, and energy in supporting the creation of this book.

term past president, president, and president-elect on leadership. This manuscript documents their career trajectory in service, leadership, and mentoring roles and how it benefited them personally and professionally. They share their vision for addiction and/or corrections counseling through IAAOC for the next

5

to

10

years. It is our hope that their journeys will be inspirational for others to engage in service, leadership, and mentoring.

Dr. Angie D. Cartwright serves as the past president for IAAOC. She obtained her Bachelor of Arts in criminal justice and psychology, Master of Arts in counseling, and a PhD in counselor education and supervision, all from Sam Houston State University. She is currently an associate professor of counseling at the University of North Texas (UNT) and the clinical director/owner of North Texas Counseling and Wellness–a training and clinical services organization.

Initially interested in pursuing a career as a defense attorney, Dr. Cartwright was introduced to the offender population and counseling in her undergraduate career and felt that her interests with this population would be better served as a professional counselor. She has over

10

years clinical experience as a Licensed Professional Counselor–Supervisor (Texas) and a Licensed Sex Offender Treatment Provider–Supervisor (Texas). Furthermore, she also holds the National Certified Counselor credential. Dr. Cartwright’s research interests include underserved populations and underrepresented groups. Under that umbrella, she has a specific focus on increasing access to mental health services for the Black and Latino communities. In addition, she is interested in the offender populations, specifically sexual offenders, as well as process addictions and mentorship of students and faculty in counselor education. She has numerous peer-reviewed publications and over $

million dollars in grant funding as the principal investigator.

Dr. Cartwright has held multiple leadership positions within IAAOC beginning as a doctoral student and identifies IAAOC as her professional leadership home. These positions included committee chair positions, secretary, website developer, president-elect, president, and now past president. She has received national, regional, and university-wide recognition for her contributions to the counseling field, including IAAOC Outstanding Addictions Professional, ACA Emerging Leader Award, ACES Professional of the Year, TACES Counselor Educator of the Year, and Top Junior Faculty Researcher at UNT. Still, Dr. Cartwright highlights that while she really enjoys her career, her most important role is being a mom and that she would trade everything she achieved professionally if she could not be the mom she wanted to be.

Dr. Kirk Bowden, current president of IAAOC, chairs the Addiction and Substance Use Disorder Program at Rio Salado College and concurrently serves as the faculty-in-charge of the Addiction Counseling Program at Ottawa University. He maintains a part-time prison based clinical practice. He chairs the ACA Publications Committee. He is a past co-chair and senior co-chair of the ACA Ethics Committee, past member of the ACA Ethics Appeal Panel, and he represented ACA as an expert panelist at a congressional briefing on the opioid epidemic. Dr. Bowden is an advisory editor for the International Journal of Mental Health and Addiction and chair of the editorial advisory committee of Advances in Addiction & Recovery. He has served on several expert panels and advisory committees for the United States Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA), the Center for Substance Abuse Treatment (CSAT), and Addiction Technology Transfer Center. He served for

13

years on the Arizona Board of the Behavioral Health Examiners, including two terms as the board’s chair. He is a past president of NAADAC, the Association for Addiction Professionals, as well as a past member of the steering committee of the American Society of Addiction Medicine (ASAM) Coalition for National Clinical Criteria and a past member of the Opioids Guidelines Review Panel of the American College of Occupational and Environmental Medicine.

Dr. Melanie Iarussi serves as the

2022

president-elect of IAAOC. She received both her master’s degree in community counseling and doctoral degree in counselor education and supervision from Kent State University. She is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor, Licensed Professional Counselor (Ohio) and Supervisor, and a National Certified Counselor. She grew up in Northeast Ohio and furthered her interest in the area of addiction and substance use counseling during her master’s program, where she completed an internship at Akron Health Department, providing outpatient services to adolescents and adults who were mandated to be there. Throughout gaining clinical experience, she aimed to be very intentional not only about getting clinical experience to be licensed, but also to have this as a foundation for becoming a faculty member. She continued to pursue addiction counseling through clinical experiences at a private practice and a college counseling center, where addiction remained a pervasive concern.

Dr. Iarussi is also a member of the Motivational Interviewing Network of Trainers (MINT), which she identifies as a core piece of her development. As a Ph.D. student, she dove into her training and development by recording herself providing counseling services and meeting weekly with her mentor to analyze and scrutinize her skills related to motivational interviewing (MI) competency. She completed the MINT workshop as a doctoral student in

2008

, learning early on how to be a trainer of MI and support others to use MI. She encourages the use of MI especially with people who are struggling with substance use and addiction and/or are involved in the legal system, including people who are incarcerated, on probation, or on parole.

Following completion of her doctoral degree, Dr. Iarussi moved from Virginia from her full-time counseling position to her first full-time faculty position in Auburn, Alabama, where she eventually became an associate tenured professor. After six and a half years, and the birth of two children, she moved to South Florida in

2018

, when she accepted the position of associate professor at Nova Southeastern University. This July, she became the department chair of her program.

Dr. Iarussi identifies the International Association of Addictions and Offender Counselors (IAAOC) as her professional home as part of the American Counseling Association (ACA), where she received strong mentorship that helped guide her into the professional realm of addictions counseling. She has held the position of secretary and membership chair, and was involved with the Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Task Force. IAAOC has been a large part of her professional journey and she is still surprised that she is in the position of President-Elect.

Interview

Katie Braeuer (KEB)/Nicholas R. Lazzareschi (NRL)/Afroze Shaikh (AS): Service, leadership, and mentoring appear to be a large part of your professional identity; how have these roles benefited you personally and professionally?

Dr. Angie Cartwright (AC): I think mentorship is reciprocal. So, when I am working with a student or a new faculty member, as a mentor, and we are in this mentor-mentee role, it is not just one-sided. I think that is really important because people may not actually recognize that. But mentorship helps the mentor as well. I find myself as I am working with and challenging my mentees, I am also challenging myself. They also challenge me by asking questions, or just being curious about things and I am like, oh, never really thought about it that way. And so, anytime you are in a one-sided relationship you really should re-evaluate it, but I think mentorship is one of those things where it is [a continuous] deposit and withdraw, deposit and withdraw.

I think as far as service is concerned, at the start of my career, I did just about everything. I accepted every leadership opportunity, accepted every service role and as I have, you know, gotten older professionally, not chronologically, I do not get older chronologically, just professionally [laughs]. I have been able to really take a step back and to figure out what service and leadership opportunities I want to engage in and how will they benefit me. I think at the beginning, I said yes to a lot of things. Joined a lot of committees and task forces. And I felt like I was pouring in to so many different committees, organizations, but it was not beneficial other than just having a lot on my CV. One of the things that comes to mind for me is I am on our ACES Task Force for Diversity. And so, I really enjoy being on that task force. Because I feel like this committee, we are making recommendations to shape ACES, to make ACES more equitable, and to make things more inclusive for our members and for our upcoming students. Those are the things that are important to me. For me, now, I say no to things if I do not think it is really going to have an impact or if it is not going to be mutually beneficial.

Dr. Kirk Bowden (KB): One thing is that I have met so many people and made so many connections by being actively involved that I never would have, had I not chosen to get involved in leadership activities. I think that is one of the best things. Also, one of the early things I was involved in was the then certification board for my state of Arizona in

2004

. I wanted to be among the leaders to get licensing in our state and I think moving that forward was an important thing for our profession. Not only in our state, but there were a lot of states at that time that did not have licensing, just certification. And I think that was a huge benefit to our profession to move that forward.

Dr. Melanie Iarussi (MI): I think that becoming a counselor is about providing a service. As I have moved away from providing counseling services, and more into a faculty position, academia, and leadership positions, it is important to me to never lose sight of that service provision. We are here to provide a service for people, whether it is students or members of the professional organization. Then those individuals go out and serve those in the community. I think it benefits me personally and professionally to know that there is a positive and layered impact. The efforts of the organization and what we are doing are providing a service for members of an organization, who are then getting that information, skillset, sense of community, or whatever it is that might be benefiting them, and then going out to do work in the community.

I think that mentoring has such a large impact on the lives of individuals, and I have experienced that. I wonder, without mentorship, would we be where we are today? I do not think I would be here without the mentorship that I have had throughout my life, which then provides me with motivation to continue that for people who are open to or who would benefit from mentorship. I hope to continue the positive, helpful mentoring relationships for those who are coming up and who aspire to move into different roles, to help navigate this profession. It is a difficult profession to navigate in a lot of ways, so I think that mentorship is really important.

KEB/NL/AS: What particular experiences or mentors were influential in your professional trajectory towards leadership? How did mentors influence you?

AC: I was the emerging new professional [of TACES]. So, right when I was graduating with my doctorate, they created a board position for an emerging leader or emerging new professional. I think that was one of the most pivotal learning experiences for me when it comes to leadership, because there were so many people who just really poured into me. There were, I want to say, about five women in TACES who were very influential. In my doctoral program there was Dr. Judy Nelson, who was involved in IAAOC, and she helped me to get involved in IAAOC. The people who really poured into me were not my professors; they were the women of TACES. We ended up being friends over time, but they [mentors] were women who sought me out. They were like, Hey, you are new here. You are not with anybody, how can we help you? The mentorship, taking me under their wing if you will, that was very helpful. I think that was because they were women, they were women of color, some of them. They knew that I did not have the professional support that I needed, and they filled that gap. I was not the typical doctoral student, I was younger, I was Black, I was a woman.

KB: One of my biggest was with another organization called INCASE (International Coalition for Addiction Studies Education) for addictions educators. I got involved with that early and even though it was not the first leadership position for me, it was the first time being president of an organization. And again, one of the things about [this leadership position] was that I got to meet a lot of people in my profession. I had started out as an addiction professional and clinical supervisor of psych[ology] at a psych[iatric] hospital and started teaching part-time, eventually. But rather than an adjunct professor, I went into full-time education. Working with these people that were full-time addiction educators helped me quite a bit in my development.

MI: The first thing for me was receiving the feedback from others that I was perceived as someone who is capable of stepping into leadership positions. I did not have that naturally, and it was never in my plan to be in leadership roles like I am today. I started hearing this feedback in my master’s program, which was then reinforced in my PhD program. Feedback noting that this is something that you should look at or encouragement that this is something that you are capable of, helped me develop the self-concept piece of I am somebody who can step into this role.

The next piece would then be opening the doors. After getting there mentally for myself, the opportunities presented themselves. I do not think it is particularly helpful when people are shoved into those experiences, but instead having the door opened for them, providing encouragement, and talking through any ambivalence. Then ultimately, it was up to me, to walk through those doors, and to say, yes, I want to pursue this or I want to run for this role. Those two things stand out to me: helping me with my self-concept, but then also presenting the opportunities. Then, staying in contact and staying as a support person throughout those experiences.

KEB/NL: From your efforts as the (past) president of IAAOC, what impact do you hope for in the next

5

to

10

years to addiction and/or corrections counseling?

AC: I am so excited because my whole presidency was about diversity, equity, inclusion, and justice. I am excited and I am proud of the initiatives that we started during my presidential year. The IAAOC member spotlights, the Diversity Equity Inclusion Task Force, the awards that are focused on equity, diversity, inclusion, and access, the leadership training program, and the editorial mentorship, you know, the training that you are in, that was one of my presidential initiatives. It was wanting to start things, wanting to plant the seed, that in

5

years from now, our IAAOC leadership may look different, our IAAOC editor may be different. I do not think we have ever had an IAAOC editor of color. It was trying to figure out how we get editorial board members in the pipeline, so that when they graduate with their PhDs, when they are off being assistant professors, and when they get promoted, it is like, wow, this person has been involved in the editorial process for

10

years. This person should be our next editor. This person has been an IAAOC leader since their master’s program.

There is a student who I’m thinking of now, that I remember meeting as a master’s student and he was like, Hey, I want to get involved in IAAOC, and he has been involved. He is about to graduate with his doctorate. It is wonderful to see folks grow in that way. That is what I wanted to leave behind. I wanted to put policies in place, put programming in place that would be sustainable to really impact IAAOC leadership because one of our issues as a division is that we rotate leaders through our leadership. Part of it is because people do not necessarily volunteer to step up but part of it is because I think we do not have people who really know about the opportunities that are available. Creating programs and letting people know that we do exist. I think the other thing that was unintentional was that our membership doubled last year. I do not know how or why that happened. But we went from having about

450

members to almost

900

members.

KB: One thing I certainly would like to see is portability [of licensure] happen. I think that is critical for our profession. Particularly in the field of addictions, I have real concerns that there is no real restrictions within our field as far as practicing without training or experience specifically in addiction. There are so many people that I find working in the field that have never had any training or experience and work with those in addiction or recovery, which I find a real ethical issue. In fact, when I was on our state licensing board, that was something that a lot of professionals were disciplined for, because even though they were licensed, they were practicing out of their scope of education and experience. And that was an issue. I know in
