Enter your e-mail address.  Click on RESET PASSWORD.  You will then receive an e-mail in which you are asked to confirm that you have asked to have your password reset.  Do as that e-mail asks you.  You should then be sent your username and password.

Members of ACPE, CASC/ACSS (formerly CAPPE/ACPEP), CPSP, NAJC, and NIBIC have access to The Journal of Pastoral Care & Counseling as a benefit of membership in their professional association.  All of the members of each association use the username+password assigned to their association.  Members of these associations should contact their association website, webmaster, or office to obtain the association's username+password  for accessing JPC&C.  They should NOT register individually unless they do so as an author.

Some of the association webmasters provide a direct link in a quarterly e-mail announcing publication of a new issue of JPC&C - eliminating the necessity of entering a username+password.

Beginning with Volume 64 (2010) and forward, the publication schedule is as follows: Online publication in March, June, September, and December (by the third week of the month).

Print publication as double issues (March-June and September-December) in July-August and January-February will continue at least through 2015.

FIRST: Log in.

Note that you do not have to log in if you are accessing this site from an institution whose IP address[es] has/have been authenticated for direct access (in fact if your institution has that kind of access and you log in, you will not be able to access articles).  A few institutions may have username+password access.

If you have entered your username+password in the USER menu box on the right side of the page, sometimes that does not "take" and a page comes up with a login provision just left of the middle of the page.  Use that centre page login provision - which should work with 1-3 tries.

THEN:  Go to either the current issue (click on Current in the top menu) or an archived issue (click on Archives in the top menu).  If you selected the current issue, you will see the Table of Contents for that issue.

AND THEN: To open an article, click on "PDF" to the right of the article title.  A page about "Portable Document Format" will come up for a few seconds - then the article will come up.  (If it does not, then you may need to cancel your pop-up blocker.)   Enjoy!!!

MORE: In order to access a second and successive articles, click on "Table of Contents" near the top right of the screen.  That will take you back to the Table of Contents.

A new Subscriber must first register for an account with The Journal of Pastoral Care & Counseling, as a Reader. Once you have that and log in, you will see an option to "Manage My Subscriptions" on the User Home page.  Click on that.

In the resulting page, you will see the option to "Purchase New Subscription" (towards the bottom of the page).  Click on that.

From there, you can select the appropriate subscription type (if paying at the student rate, don't forget to name the training/education program in the "Membership" box - and send an e-mail to ElectronicJPCC@JPCP.org verifying student standing) - then proceed on to PayPal for payment using PayPal or your credit card.

GIFT SUBSCRIPTIONS: When entering a gift subscription, always register as if you are the person for whom the gift subscription is intended (choice of username, address info, etc) - except that you can enter your e-mail address so that notifications will initially come to you.  Then, after you have received payment confirmation, forward that confirmation to ElectronicJPCC@JPCP.org and request that the e-mail address be changed to the e-mail address of the intended subscriber so that, thereafter, they will receive notifications.

You (or the person you have gifted) will now have access.

Note: Your subscription will be back-dated to January 1, 2009.  If you have entered your subscription during the first three-quarters of the calendar year the end-date will be re-set to December 31 of the current year.  If you have entered your subscription in the last quarter of the calendar year, the end-date will be re-set to December 31 of the next calendar year.

iPads will not display the whole PDF page on the journal site. Some iPad users may be able to download a PDF article to a desktop or laptop computer and then upload to their iPad. This problem is being worked on and we hope to have this functionality available in the future.
