Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
It is my pleasure to invite you to contribute to this Special Issue entitled “(Recent Advances) Treating Psychiatry Disorders in Children and Adolescents: From Theory to Practice: 2nd Edition”. In our previous Special Issue entitled “(Recent Advances) Treating Psychiatry Disorders in Children and Adolescents: From Theory to Practice”, we collected high-standard original articles and review papers covering a wide range of topics. This is a continuation of the previous series.
Psychiatric disorders in children and adolescents are relevant both in terms of their prevalence and their impact on the quality of life of the child/adolescent and their family. Psychiatric disorders include emotional symptoms (i.e., anxiety, emotional dysregulation, and peer problems) and/or behavioral symptoms (hyperactivity, oppositional, and conduct problems), which frequently lead to persistent adverse outcomes. An especially relevant topic is represented by neurodevelopmental disorders (ADHD and autism). Even though their characteristics might change across time, their symptoms and consequences echo for the whole lifespan. Often, children and adolescents present a co-morbidity of psychiatric disorders; therefore, they require a specific approach integrating contributions from different professionals (e.g., pediatricians, psychiatrists, psychologists, and therapists of different sorts). Therefore, the current Special Issue aims to gather original and exciting articles presenting the latest news about the treatment of youths’ psychiatric disorders. We will also consider articles exploring the protective and risk factors for psychiatric symptoms in children and adolescents.
We invite both empirical studies and conceptual/theoretical contributions related to the above-described topics for this Special Issue. We are open to various theoretical, practical, and methodological perspectives and hope that this Special Issue will be a multifaceted and stimulating collection of works with multiple perspectives. We strongly hope that this Special Issue will collect contributions from experts from different backgrounds, and we also highly encourage researchers from all subdisciplines in psychology and medicine to join.
