Editorial: No short‐cuts – translating neurobiological knowledge to clinical practice requires moving away from stand‐alone biomarkers to an integrative biopsychosocial approach J. Child Psychol. Psyc. (IF 7.6) Pub Date : 2024-05-16 Lucres Jansen
Although decades of research have shown the importance of neurobiological factors in the development of mental health problems in children and adolescents, the translation of this knowledge to use in clinical practice has proven difficult. One of the pitfalls is the false assumption that biological factors are so fundamental that they overrule all other factors and can be used as stand‐alone biomarkers
