Introduction
In this section we introduce our approach for psychological treatment innovation for young people.
Focused on understanding and targeting psychological mechanisms, we guide you through a 10-step translational treatment development pathway.
Throughout these pages, you will find case studies, methods, and guidelines for elements of each step.
To learn more about the development of the pathway please read: A mechanistic approach to developing effective, acceptable, and accessible psychological therapies for young people and emerging adults (Leigh & Waite, 2026).
