Neuropsychology, Clinical Psychology, and Mental Health
A section of Psychology International (ISSN 2813-9844).
Section Information
Neuropsychology provides essential tools and insights to help neuroscientists, patients, and other stakeholders gain a deeper understanding of how, why, and in what capacity mental disorders and symptoms manifest. The primary goal of this section is to explore the development of neuropsychological approaches in the investigation, description, measurement, and management of a wide range of mental illnesses and brain disorders. Another key aim is to better articulate the rationale for examining neuropsychological processes within clinical disorders. We seek to bring together the perspectives of neuroscientists and psychologists to foster interdisciplinary collaboration.
This section publishes original research across the entire spectrum of neuropsychology, from molecular mechanisms and brain function to the institutional healthcare and environmental factors impacting mental health and brain disorders. It focuses on early diagnosis, prevention, prognosis, interventions, and treatments. Research areas may include (but are not limited to) the following:
- Anxiety and depression;
- Bipolar affective disorder;
- Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT);
- Myths of mental health;
- Neuropsychology and behavioral and emotional disorders in adults and children;
- Neuropsychology and neuroimaging of emotion in moral cognition;
- Neuropsychology and the impact of childhood sexual abuse and exploitation;
- Sexuality and mental health.
This section also explores clinical articles across the fields of clinical psychology, clinical neuropsychology, rehabilitation psychology, counseling, and psychotherapy. Topics may cover the evaluation, diagnosis, and treatment of psychological disorders within clinical psychology, as well as the role of rehabilitation psychology in recovery and management. We are also keen to explore the integration of eHealth, mHealth, and AI-based treatments relevant to clinical psychology and neuropsychology.
Our aim is to present a comprehensive view of these issues, offering both theoretical and practical contributions that can advance the understanding and treatment of mental health and neuropsychological disorders.
