Advancements and Future Directions in Clinical Psychosis

Dear Colleagues,

The Special Issue "Advancements and Future Directions in Clinical Psychosis" aims at addressinh the evolving landscape of psychosis research by highlighting recent breakthroughs and identifying critical challenges in clinical practice. Despite progress in neurobiological understanding, diagnostics, and therapeutic interventions, psychosis remains a complex and heterogeneous condition with significant unmet needs. Core problems include early detection, treatment resistance, and long-term functional outcomes. This collection seeks contributions that explore innovative diagnostic tools, personalized treatment strategies, neurocognitive and psychosocial approaches, and digital or AI-assisted interventions.

The scope encompasses original research, clinical trials, reviews, and translational studies focused on the schizophrenia spectrum and other psychotic disorders. Emphasis will be placed on interdisciplinary perspectives that bridge gaps between neuroscience, psychiatry, and public health.

Researchers, clinicians, and mental health professionals are encouraged to contribute their findings to foster collaborative advancement and shape future clinical frameworks. Through this mobilization, this Special Issue aspires to inform best practices and stimulate next-generation solutions in psychosis care.

You may choose our Joint Special Issue in Brain Sciences.
