Feature Papers in Psychiatry International

Dear Colleagues,

We are pleased to announce that the journal Psychiatry International is now compiling a collection of papers submitted exclusively by the Editorial Board Members (EBMs) of our journal and outstanding scholars in this field. The Special Issue engages in a variety of important breakthroughs in Psychiatry.

International psychiatry is currently facing serious challenges triggered by the global economic crisis and the COVID-19 pandemic. These global events lead to the need to broaden our nosographic and therapeutic horizons, and to make use of the newest psychological approaches and the latest neuroscience acquisitions. A first focus of this Special Issue is on the psychological and psychiatric consequences of the pandemic. A second focus is on the new clinical applications and technologies in the fields of precision medicine, including genomics, neuroimaging, and microbiomics, which can also be integrated with each other through machine learning systems. These applications could provide new contributions, both in treatment personalization and in the evolution of nosographic systems.

The purpose of this Special Issue is to publish a set of papers that typifies the very best insightful original articles and reviews where our EBMs and outstanding scholars discuss key topics in the field. We expect these papers to be widely read and highly influential within the field. All papers in this Special Issue will be collected into a printed edition book after the deadline, and will be well promoted.
