Clinical Health Psychology and Neuropsychology: Care and Treatment Pathways in Emotional Disorders

Dear Colleagues,

Clinical Health Psychology (often referred to as Behavioral Medicine, Medical Psychology, and Psychosomatic Medicine) examines the interaction between psychological and physical health, and it has seen excellent progress in recent years. According to APA, “clinical health psychology is a professionally recognized specialty that investigates and implements clinical services across diverse populations and settings to promote health and well-being and to prevent, treat and manage illness and disability”. Therefore, health is considered through the prism of biopsychological principles, focusing on psychological, social, cultural, and biological factors. Neuropsychology, however, is based on a biological approach in brain and behavioral examination.

This Special Issue aims to cover the newest advancements from both fields of Clinical Health Psychology and Neuropsychology for Emotional Disorders (focusing on, but not limited to, depressive and anxiety disorders). Authors are invited to contribute original studies, systematic reviews, communications, and related case reports regarding topics relevant to assessment, intervention, consultation and evaluation across the lifespan and in specific populations suffering from Emotional Disorders. Additional emphasis is placed on the intersection of clinical health psychology and neuropsychological findings for Emotional Disorders. Relevant articles are welcome.
