Editorial: Youth Psychotherapy Interventions in Low- and Middle-Income Countries and Throughout the World: Beyond Efficacy, Toward Accessibility

Abstract

It is estimated that 13% of the world's children and adolescents have a mental health disorder.1 Fortunately, psychotherapy interventions are effective at improving mental health symptoms and associated functional difficulties.2 However, while the research literature on the efficacy of youth psychotherapy is robust, it may not be generalizable to all populations and across all contexts, particularly given the limited diversity of the research samples with which they have been tested.
