Submission status
Closed

According to the World Health Organization, mental health conditions are increasing worldwide. Mental health conditions presently cause 1 in 5 years lived with disability. Around 20% of the world’s children and adolescents have a mental health condition, with suicide the second leading cause of death among 15-29-year-olds. The promotion of mental well-being, prevention of mental health disorders, and the access to and provision of mental health interventions is urgent and critical.

The aim of the current Special Issue is to bring together researchers and experts in the development and evaluation of clinical interventions across mental health and substance use disorders. This special issue aims to target clinical disorders including but not limited to mood, psychotic, personality, substance use and eating disorders. We encourage original research submissions that explore advances in current clinical interventions for mental health and/or substance use disorders, amongst children, adolescents, adults and/or older adults. We also welcome submissions which research psychological processes relating to clinical interventions or provide transdiagnostic treatment approaches. Submissions may be reviews, case reports, empirical findings, target conceptual articles that evaluate and synthesize the research literature and/or make important theoretical contributions, and submissions explaining program development.
