The Journal of Child Psychology and Psychiatry is widely recognised to be the leading international journal covering both child and adolescent psychology and psychiatry. With a large and expanding global readership, its coverage includes studies on epidemiology, diagnosis, psychotherapeutic and psychopharmacological treatments, behaviour, cognition, neuroscience, neurobiology, and genetic aspects of childhood disorders. We bring together empirical research, clinical studies, and reviews of high quality that arise from different points of view, different theoretical perspectives, and different disciplines.
