Abstract

In times of crisis-whether personal, communal, or systemic-hope can be a lifeline. Not the passive kind, rooted in wishful thinking, but the kind that propels us forward with purpose. True hope acknowledges pain and limitations yet chooses to believe that transformation is possible. In mental health, this hope doesn't deny the depth of suffering-it illuminates the way through it. It becomes the bridge between adversity and action, fueling resilience and inviting possibility even in the face of entrenched challenges. In both narrative and clinical spaces, hope can be a powerful intervention in itself: not naive optimism, but a deliberate orientation toward growth.

希望是变革的催化剂。

在危机时刻——无论是个人的、集体的还是系统的——希望都是生命线。不是那种被动的，根植于一厢情愿的想法，而是那种推动我们有目标地前进的方式。真正的希望承认痛苦和局限，但选择相信转变是可能的。在心理健康方面，这种希望并不否认痛苦的深度——它照亮了克服痛苦的道路。它成为逆境与行动之间的桥梁，即使面对根深蒂固的挑战，也能增强韧性，激发可能性。在叙事和临床领域，希望本身可以成为一种强有力的干预：不是天真的乐观主义，而是一种深思熟虑的成长取向。

期刊介绍： The Journal of the American Academy of Child & Adolescent Psychiatry (JAACAP) is dedicated to advancing the field of child and adolescent psychiatry through the publication of original research and papers of theoretical, scientific, and clinical significance. Our primary focus is on the mental health of children, adolescents, and families. We welcome unpublished manuscripts that explore various perspectives, ranging from genetic, epidemiological, neurobiological, and psychopathological research, to cognitive, behavioral, psychodynamic, and other psychotherapeutic investigations. We also encourage submissions that delve into parent-child, interpersonal, and family research, as well as clinical and empirical studies conducted in inpatient, outpatient, consultation-liaison, and school-based settings. In addition to publishing research, we aim to promote the well-being of children and families by featuring scholarly papers on topics such as health policy, legislation, advocacy, culture, society, and service provision in relation to mental health. At JAACAP, we strive to foster collaboration and dialogue among researchers, clinicians, and policy-makers in order to enhance our understanding and approach to child and adolescent mental health.
