Core Tip

Core Tip: This was a bibliometrics study of the research structure and hotspots of psychological interventions for depression in children and adolescents from 2010 to the present. Current research hotspots include third-wave cognitive behavior therapy, short-term psychoanalytic psychotherapy, cognitive behavioral analysis system of psychotherapy, family element in psychotherapy, modular treatment, mobile-health, emotion-regulation-based transdiagnostic intervention program, dementia risk in later life, predictors of the efficacy of psychological intervention, and risks of psychological intervention. The research hotspots may give insight into how to make psychological interventions for young people more accessible and effective.
