Clinical Psychology in Treatment and Rehabilitation: Theory, Research, and Practice.

Editorial Note The present volume contains the proceedings of the International Scientific Conference 'Clinical Psychology in Treatment and Rehabilitation: Theory, Research, and Practice', held in Kyiv on January 16, 2026, jointly organised by Bogomolets National Medical University and the World Association for the Support of Scientists (US). The conference brought together researchers and clinicians working at the intersection of neuropsychology, clinical psychology, behavioural science, and rehabilitation medicine. The contributions collected in Section 1 — Behavioural and Psychological Foundations of Clinical Safety, Health, and Rehabilitation — address a range of interrelated problems: socio-psychological competence and communication in military medical contexts; advisory competence in multidisciplinary rehabilitation teams; neuropsychological aspects of cancer rehabilitation; emotional functioning in mothers of children with autism; chronic fatigue and cognitive impairment in war-affected civilians; maternal second signalling system and child development; post-COVID cognitive and emotional sequelae in adults and adolescents; and the application of behavioural science to safety, occupational health, and civil protection. Each contribution represents original empirical research or theoretically informed synthesis conducted under conditions of extraordinary clinical and social complexity. The editors express their gratitude to all contributors for their scholarly rigour and their commitment to clinically relevant knowledge.
