Abstract: The development of neuroscience-informed psychotherapy models that attempt to refine existing psychotherapy models, especially for the treatment of depression and anxiety disorders, is a current topic in psychotherapy research. This narrative review appraised the existing literature on neuroscience-informed psychotherapy models to understand the extent to which the integration of neuroscience can advance the practice of psychotherapy for the treatment of depression and anxiety disorders. The literature search on online databases identified 21 articles that report five different neuroscience-informed psychotherapy models specifically designed to overcome the limitations of top-down-focused cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) models for depression and anxiety disorders, such as inconsistent treatment effects. Unlike conventional top-down-focused CBT models, which primarily focus on promoting top-down regulation of the brain by improving the cognitive functioning regulated by the higher brain system, the models reviewed commonly focus on promoting bottom-up regulation of the brain by improving the emotional and physiological functioning regulated by the lower brain system with a erse combination of techniques. However, most reviewed neuroscience-informed psychotherapy models lack research evidence from clinical trials that support the efficacy of these models. The development of a neuroscience-informed psychotherapeutic model is still in its infancy. Future neuroscience-informed therapeutic models will need to be continuously modified, adjusted, and developed by integrating the latest psychotherapy and neuroscientific knowledge and feedback from clinical trials and case studies. Such research may promote the credibility and effectiveness of neuroscience-informed therapeutic models.

Abstract: The implementation of universal school based Social–Emotional Learning (SEL) programs is increasing in Japanese schools with the aim of enhancing children’s social–emotional skills and reducing mental health problems. However, there is a lack of meta-analyses evaluating the effectiveness of these programs in Japan that specifically include studies with control groups and examine program moderators. Conducting such a meta-analysis would be valuable for improving future implementations of SEL programs in Japan. The present meta-analysis analyzed 85 intervention studies with control groups to examine the effectiveness and moderators of universal school based SEL programs for Japanese children aged 5–18 years. The analysis indicates that these programs have a small overall effect (ES = 0.26), as well as small effects in improving social–emotional skills (ES = 0.24), attitude toward the self and others (ES = 0.30), positive social behavior (ES = 0.31), conduct problem (ES = 0.20), and emotional problem (ES = 0.22) at post-intervention among Japanese children. The analysis further revealed that publication type, number of participants, and school level of children moderated the overall effects of universal school based SEL programs, suggesting potential biases in effect sizes reported in peer-reviewed journals published by scientific societies, lower effectiveness for older children, and decreased effectiveness when programs are delivered to larger numbers of children. Future research should explore more effective delivery methods for SEL programs, particularly for older children and larger groups, such as integrating community components and information and communication technology into the programs.
