Clinical psychology and psychotherapy

This section is dedicated to covering all aspects of clinical psychology and psychotherapy.

We welcome various types of treatment approaches on wide areas of practical, theoretical, or methodological interest to the field of clinical psychology. We also welcome epidemiology studies.
