Mental health and mental disorders pose a tremendous challenge to the societal, health, and research policies in Europe, and sound advice is needed on a potential strategy for mental health research investment. Toward this goal, the ROAMER initiative ("Roadmap for Mental Health Research in Europe") was launched to map the current state of the art, to identify gaps and to delineate advances needed in various areas and domains of mental health research in Europe. To further stimulate discussions among the scientific community and stakeholders on how to improve mental health research and to promote an improved research agenda for the next decade, this IJMPR topic issue presents the overall ROAMER methodology as well as a series of selected papers highlighting critical issues of psychological approaches and interventions as outcomes of the ROAMER work package 5 "Psychological research and treatments".
心理健康和精神障碍给欧洲的社会、卫生及研究政策带来了巨大挑战，因此需要就心理健康研究投资的潜在策略提供合理建议。为实现这一目标，发起了ROAMER倡议（“欧洲心理健康研究路线图”），以梳理当前的技术水平，找出差距，并勾勒出欧洲心理健康研究各个领域所需的进展。为了进一步激发科学界和利益相关者之间关于如何改进心理健康研究的讨论，并推动制定未来十年更好的研究议程，本期《国际精神卫生政策与研究杂志》专题介绍了ROAMER的整体方法，以及一系列精选论文，这些论文突出了作为ROAMER工作包5 “心理学研究与治疗” 成果的心理学方法和干预措施的关键问题。
