Clinical Psychology Research and Public Health

A lot of studies in the field of clinical psychology focus on mental health, behavior problems, adverse childhood experiences, substance use, stress and burnout, eating or sleeping disorders, addictions, etc., and point to the importance of physical, mental and social health on personal and professional well-being. Vulnerable individual or groups issues must also be analyzed as public health issues (e.g., chronic diseases). Training psychologists and doctors to deal with psychological/medical problems is a key point, considering that institutions need to diminish the negative impacts of mental-related problems and to improve public health interventions (through continuing education, university curricula, etc.)This Reprint aimed to provide articles about methods of intervention, psychotherapy, and treatment of various problems experienced by contemporary humans (families, groups, or communities from different cultures); crisis situations; critical incidents; and multidisciplinary approaches from a psychological, medical, social, cultural, and ethical perspective.
