Title: Evidence Based Psychological Intervention and Assessment: Mental Health and Health Psychology Applications

Psychological services continue to be developed and refined in order to increase effectiveness and improve long-term outcomes. Applications to new populations and symptom presentations continue to evolve with research advancements in clinical measurement and psychopathology. Developments in methods of service delivery demonstrate how services can be applied and disseminated in novel ways.

The Executive of the Psychologists in Hospitals and Health Centres CPA Section invite articles that illustrate the effectiveness of intervention and assessment advancements in clinical care. Articles can focus on mental health and health issues that are applicable within publicly funded or private practice environments. All facets of diversity across the life span are of particular interest.
