The Covid-19 pandemic is profoundly impacting our lives. Therefore, we are proud to present this year’s thematic series “Child and adolescent mental health during the Covid-19 pandemic”. We are seeking high quality papers on the impact of the current pandemic on child mental health and how the mental health systems are adapting to the situation. Given the acute and rapidly changing nature of the pandemic, we are committed to providing a rapid editorial decision. For more information see the call-for-papers and the editorial.

Featured series: Forensic Child and Adolescent Psychiatry and Mental Health 2018/2019
We are proud to present this years’ thematic series “Forensic Child and Adolescent Psychiatry and Mental Health 2018/2019”. This thematic series is a cooperation between Child and Adolescent Psychiatry and Mental Health (CAPMH) and the European Association for Forensic Child and Adolescent Psychiatry, Psychology and other involved Professions (EFCAP; for more information, see: www.efcap.org).
Aims and scope
Child and Adolescent Psychiatry and Mental Health, the official journal of the International Association for Child and Adolescent Psychiatry and Allied Professions, is an open access, online journal that provides an international platform for rapid and comprehensive scientific communication on child and adolescent mental health across different cultural backgrounds. CAPMH serves as a scientifically rigorous and broadly open forum for both interdisciplinary and cross-cultural exchange of research information, involving psychiatrists, paediatricians, psychologists, neuroscientists, and allied disciplines. The journal focusses on improving the knowledge base for the diagnosis, prognosis and treatment of mental health conditions in children and adolescents, and aims to integrate basic science, clinical research and the practical implementation of research findings. In addition, aspects which are still underrepresented in the traditional journals such as neurobiology and neuropsychology of psychiatric disorders in childhood and adolescence are considered.
Article collections
Child and Adolescent Psychiatry and Mental Health is proud to publish a number of article collections on particularly exciting topics within the wider scope of the journal. Click here to see the list of all collections published in the journal so far.
