DESCRIPTION:Transdiagnostic mental health research encompasses a number of
  related but also separable endeavours\, including efforts to develop and 
 validate alternative nosological systems to the traditional diagnostic app
 roach\, efforts to identify and elucidate transdiagnostic biopsychosocial 
 processes at various levels of analysis (genetic\, molecular\, neural\, be
 havioural)\; and finally efforts to develop transdiagnostic clinical inter
 ventions. The field is at a critical juncture in terms of advancing our un
 derstanding of mental health problems and using this knowledge to improve 
 interventions.\n \nThis talk will introduce some of these ideas\, briefly 
 summarise research to date\, and highlight some of the key questions and r
 ecommendations required to move forward in this field. In particular\, the
  rationale for novel transdiagnostic psychological interventions will be p
 resented\, focusing on the development of a modular psychological treatmen
 t for mood\, anxiety and stressor-related disorders. The Healthy and Resil
 ient Mind Programme: Building Blocks for Mental Wellbeing (HARMONIC) trial
  introduces a novel transdiagnostic intervention (Shaping Healthy Minds (S
 HM))\, which synthesises several evidence-based treatment techniques to ad
 dress the gap in effective interventions for people with complex and comor
 bid difficulties.
