Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue aims to include original research and systematic reviews examining the analysis, assessment, and intervention in behavioral and emotional disorders in children and adolescents, as well as the role of the family in such processes. In this Special Issue, research related to emotional regulation processes and psychological flexibility are of interest, especially interventions from a contextual-functional approach (third wave therapies) and from the transdiagnostic approach. The aim of this Special Issue is to publish studies concerning efficacy and/or (cost-)effectiveness of interventions to improve emotional well-being and psychological flexibility in children, adolescents and their families. Special attention will be given to innovative submissions using intervention protocols in emotional regulation and psychological flexibility from third-wave therapies and/or from transdiagnostic approaches. Areas of interest include systematic reviews or meta-analyses, experimental and correlational studies, and clinical or case series studies, with special emphasis on detailed illustration of intervention protocols.
