Special Issue

Posted on 03/03/2020 by Jennifer Thomas

Aims and Scope

We are delighted to announce that Evidence-Based Mental Health will be publishing a special issue on The Future of Psychotherapies. It will be guest edited by Prof. Dr. Elisabeth Schramm (Freiburg, Germany) and Dr. Ron Rapee (Sydney, Australia). There is much ongoing debate about the future of psychotherapies. The field is moving away from psychotherapy schools or disorder-specific vs transdiagnostic approaches and towards individualised, modular approaches. This issue aims to bring together the latest research and thinking. Original articles, including quantitative or qualitative studies, and clinical or systematic reviews, are welcome. The deadline for submissions to the special issue has now passed. We welcome further submissions on this topic for consideration in future issues. Special issue publication date: February 2021

Potential topics include, but are by no means limited to:

• Novel approaches in psychotherapies
• New perspectives in research in psychotherapies
• Individualisation of psychotherapies
• Addressing complex presentations
• Implementation of psychotherapies: Bridging the gap between research and practice
• Quality of evidence base of psychotherapies
