Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Childhood and adolescence are critical stages of life, especially regarding mental health issues. This underlines the importance of reliable and early diagnoses and treatments with high efficacy. Therefore, this Special Issue focuses on improving the knowledge on innovative assessments and psychological treatments of mental health conditions in children and adolescents. In addition, it is necessary to expand our understanding of underlying mechanisms, interesting new facets, and prognoses of mental disorders in this age group. This Special Issue aims to include studies presenting a broad range of mental disorders (e.g., anxiety, depression, suicidality, eating disorders, ADHD, childhood trauma, personality disorders) and their impact on several social environments of children and adolescents (e.g., school, peer-group, parents).
All original articles, clinical trials, experimental lab research, as well as systematic reviews and meta-analyses on this topic are welcome and will be equally considered for publication. I look forward to receiving your contribution to this Special Issue, enabling us to provide state-of-the-art clinical updates on the psychology of the younger ages.
Dr. Oswald D. Kothgassner
Guest Editor
