We briefly describe the content of the six research articles selected by peer review for this, the first special issue of the Journal of Clinical Psychology devoted to international clinical psychology. Two of the articles address general scientific issues-illusory mental health and a theory of anorexia nervosa-not considered specific to any particular cultural setting. One article examines social anxiety in three different Western societies. One considers the development of clinical psychology in a specific country, Spain. The final two articles consider two clinical problems-sexual dysfunction and Type-I diabetes-within two different contexts in India, one Hindu, the other Moslem. The introduction concludes with some general comments on the history and present status of clinical psychology as an international field.
我们简要介绍一下经同行评审入选本期的六篇研究文章的内容。本期是《临床心理学杂志》专门探讨国际临床心理学的第一期特刊。其中两篇文章探讨的是一般性科学问题——虚幻的心理健康以及神经性厌食症理论，这些问题并非特定于任何特定文化背景。一篇文章研究了三个不同西方社会中的社交焦虑。一篇探讨了特定国家西班牙临床心理学的发展。最后两篇文章在印度的两种不同背景下——一种是印度教背景，另一种是穆斯林背景——研究了两个临床问题，即性功能障碍和I型糖尿病。引言最后对临床心理学作为一个国际领域的历史和现状作了一些一般性评论。
