About the Article Collection

The Australian Journal of Psychology invites submissions for its Open Access Article Collection titled "AI in Mental Health."

This collection explores the transformative role of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in advancing mental health research, clinical practice, education, and healthcare systems. AI technologies are increasingly supporting early detection, diagnosis, personalized treatment planning, predictive modelling, digital interventions, and clinical decision-making, offering new opportunities to improve mental healthcare delivery worldwide.

The collection also emphasizes the importance of responsible, human-centered AI by addressing critical issues such as ethics, algorithmic fairness, data governance, cultural relevance, implementation science, and human-AI collaboration. Researchers from psychology, psychiatry, neuroscience, public health, data science, healthcare, education, and related disciplines are encouraged to contribute interdisciplinary research that bridges technological innovation with real-world mental health practice.
