Special Issue on CBS Perspectives on COVID-19; Guest Edited by Staci Martin Peron, Ronald Rogge and Maria Karekla

Given the profound impact that the pandemic is having on people around the world, JCBS published a set of papers characterizing and addressing this impact specifically from a Contextual Behavioral Science (CBS) lens. We are interested in innovative applications of CBS as a scientific strategy in the context of this multifaceted public health, social, and economic crisis. We solicited papers including empirical, data-based research, conceptual and theoretical articles, and “in practice” articles geared specifically towards clinicians. We invited submissions on a wide range of topics, including but not limited to COVID-19 in relation to interpersonal connections/social isolation, anxiety/OCD/PTSD, depression/suicidal ideation, addictive behaviors, trauma, chronic pain and other chronic illnesses or health conditions, stigma, nationalism, structural and cultural inequalities, and burnout among professionals.
