Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The literature indicates that mental health depends on interpersonal relations and intrapersonal factors, as well as environmental events and socio-cultural factors, which are interrelated with biological factors. They all affect mental health, as well as mental health problems may affect them, without forgetting that the capacity to establish constructive relationships is a key point of mental health itself. The fast and continuous social, cultural, economic, technological, environmental and demographic changes impact interpersonal relationships, intrapersonal factors, and mental health. For this reason, it is important to continue to think about and investigate the associations between mental health and these factors. I am pleased to invite you to participate in the Special Issue entitled “Associations between Mental Health and Intrapersonal, Interpersonal and Cultural Factors”. This Special Issue aims to face the role of interpersonal relationships, and intrapersonal and socio-cultural factors, on mental health, throughout the life span, within the biopsychosocial model of mental health/disorders. It primarily wants to deal with the topic from a psychological perspective (e.g., developmental, dynamic, clinical, social, cultural, cross-cultural), but not limited to it. Contributions from other disciplines (e.g., psychiatry, sociology, psychoanalysis, neuroscience) or inter/multidisciplinary contributions are well-accepted. In this Special Issue, original research articles, reviews, and case reports are welcome.
We look forward to receiving your contributions.
Dr. Alessandro Germani
Guest Editor
