You could do something like this:
<%= link_to_function 'New Journal', "Element.replace(this, #{ render
(:partial => "create",
:object => @user).inspect})"%>
check here for some gotchas with rendering partials this way:

Maybe a much nicer solution in this case would be to render the form
in a hidden div below the link and then just hide the link and un-hide
the form when the link is clicked. Like so:
<div id="new_journal">
<%= link_to_function 'New Journal', "this.hide(); $
('new_journal_form').show()" %>
<div id="new_journal_form" style="display:none">
<%= render :partial => "create", :object => @user %>
</div>
</div>
