ARTICLE HIGHLIGHTS

Research background

Child and adolescent depression is a public health problem that needs urgent attention today. Psychological intervention as a promising treatment for depression in children and adolescents. However, a significant number of child and adolescent patients do not receive professional psychological intervention due to the fact that it requires a high level of qualification for its implementation and is usually costly and time-consuming.

Research motivation

Currently, there is a rapid growth of relevant articles within the field. To understand the global performance and progress of papers related to psychological interventions for depression in children and adolescents (PIDCA), and to provide a guide for new researchers in this field.

Research objectives

To understand the distribution of global collaborative networks (countries, institutions, authors) and current research hotspots related to PIDCA in the forms of visual diagrams.

Research methods

We used bibliometric research method, the Charticulator website, CiteSpace, and VOSviewer software. Articles and reviews related to PIDCA from January 2010 to April 2023 were identified from the Web of Science Core Collection database.

Research results

We present a visual representation of the overall performance of relevant papers in the field in terms of countries, institutions, authors and journals, and the current research hotspots we identified were summarized and presented in 10 research perspectives.

Research conclusions

In our study, no new theories were used, but an attempt was made to review the papers in this field using a comprehensive method (the analysis of reference co-citation clusters, references with the strongest citation bursts, keywords with the largest occurrence times, and keywords with the strongest citation bursts) and multiple bibliometric tools (the Charticulator website, CiteSpace, and VOSviewer software).

Research perspectives

Through this study, we find that the psychological intervention characterized as psychological processes-focused, short, family-involved, modular, internet-based, emotion-regulation-based, and personalized may benefit more young people. The brief, efficacious, time-saving, and low-cost psychotherapy would be the promising psychotherapy.
