Contributions from the Neurosciences of Consciousness to Clinical Psychology

Recent methodological developments led to resuming the initial agenda of experimental psychology: the study of consciousness. An interdisciplinary community undertook efforts to characterize the phenomenology of distinct consciousness states and identify the minimal set of neural events responsible for consciousness. These developments are paving the way towards a paradigmatic change on the way clinicians are addressing the conceptualization and treatment of mental disorders (disorders of consciousness and psychological disorders) and promoting wellbeing. This special issue brings together renown scientists from different disciplines to present their state-of-the-art research on the interfaces between science of consciousness and clinical sciences (e.g., clinical psychology, psychopathology, neuropsychology).
