Dear EACLIPT members, Dear Colleagues,
Cultural adaptation of psychological interventions is a highly relevant topic in current research. Both the acceptance and efficacy of a treatment, but also the treatment fidelity can differ substantially when a treatment is offered in different cultural contexts.
It is therefore with great pleasure that we can announce the publication of a Special Issue on Cultural Adaption of Psychological Interventions. In this issue, experiences, and empirical evidence on the cultural adaptation of psychological interventions for refugee populations are brought together.
You can download the full issue as PDF or read it online at https://doi.org/10.32872/cpe.v3.si
Articles in this issue describe for example…
… the development of a culture-sensitive transdiagnostic psychoeducation (Mewes et al.)
… the adaptation of a CBT program for Afghan refugees in Germany (Kananian et al.)
… the process from formative research to adaptation (Böttche et al.)
… the adaptation of an intervention to also consider substance use disorders (Lotzin et al.)
… "on-the-fly" adaptations in a trauma-focused CBT (Unterhitzenberger et al.)
Finally, the issue includes criteria for Reporting Cultural Adaptation in Psychological Trials, the RECAPT-criteria. These criteria were developed jointly by international experts in the field and will hopefully contribute to a more systematized and transparent documentation of cultural adaptation in psychological research in the future.
Please spread the word and forward the information about CPE's first Special Issue on a very timely topic.
Best wishes

Dear EACLIPT members, Dear Colleagues,
we are happy to send you two updates about Clinical Psychology in Europe.
Thanks to our publisher (PsychOpen), we could implement a new feature on our website, i.e. Author's Accepted Manuscript. Immediately after positive review and acceptance, authors can upload their final version and thus share their research results more quickly with the community. You can find the upcoming articles at https://cpe.psychopen.eu/index.php/cpe/aam. We think that this is yet another good reason for considering CPE as a venue for your work.

Dear EACLIPT members,
Dear colleagues from all over the world,
These are difficult times for all of us. Many countries have been hard hit by the coronavirus pandemic. Clinical psychology is faced with new challenges. To date, several clinical psychologists have already started to investigate the current situation and to develop support options. For example, the German Psychological Society is currently establishing a telephone-helpline to provide psychological support to homebound people. We believe that such initiatives are very important, that they may save lives, and that they are worth sharing.
In order to make clinical-psychological activities and research on the coronavirus pandemic quickly visible, we invite your submission – be it a brief update, a comment or a full research article. We will prioritize all submissions to CPE on this topic. Spread the word to your colleagues and submit your work at https://cpe.psychopen.eu.
In addition, there is some good news today: Thanks to our dedicated publication team, the new CPE issue has been published today. You can access the issue via our website at https://doi.org/10.32872/cpe.v2i1. There, you can also download the full issue. Don't forget: CPE is *free* of charge for readers and authors.
In the current issue, you will find the latest research on major areas of clinical psychology, such as eating disorder, obsessive-compulsive disorder, social anxiety disorder, but also exciting work on loneliness or the effectiveness of optimizing expectations in breast cancer. The politics and education section provides an insight into the current state of clinical psychology in Lithuania. So enjoy reading and get inspired.
We sincerely wish you and your loved ones to get through the crisis well and stay healthy.
