Millions of people worldwide are affected by mental disorders that span
depression, bipolar disorder, obsessive-compulsive disorder, schizophrenia,
and dementia. Reliable assessment, monitoring, and evaluation are important
to identify individuals in need of treatment, evaluate treatment response,
and achieve remission or moderate impact. Many indicators of presence or
severity of mental disorders are observable. Indicators include psychomotor
agitation (inability to sit still, pacing, hand wringing) or retardation
(slowed speech and body movements, speech that is decreased in volume or
vocal quality), changes in facial expression, gaze, body movements, and
cognition. Attempts at diagnosis, screening and evaluation of treatment
response from behavioral indicators have focused primarily on the
individual alone and individual modalities. Yet, disorders strongly impact
social interaction and relationships in family members, work settings, and
on social media and are multimodal as well as interpersonal. For these
reasons, it is critical to use multimodal indicators in a variety of
interpersonal contexts.

The proposed Multimodal Interaction in Psychopathology workshop aims to
bring together computer scientists, psychologists, behavioral scientists,
neuroscientists, and clinicians with a focus on multimodal interaction in
psychopathology. This workshop will provide an opportunity to present
recent advancements for diagnosis and treatment of mental disorders, to
share knowledge, and generate interdisciplinary networking and
collaborations.

We are soliciting original contributions that address advancements and
challenges in multimodal interaction in psychopathology including but not
limited to the following topics:

- Assessment of psychopathology (detection of depression,
obsessive-compulsive disorder, dementia, autism, suicidal ideation or
behavior, and other conditions)
- Monitoring psychopathology
- Evaluation of treatment response
- Interpersonal indicators and mechanisms
- Patient-clinician interaction
- Family interaction
- Group therapy
- Human interaction on social media (e.g., detection of early signals of
psychopathology, suicidal behavior)
- Multimodal behavioral indicators of psychopathology occurrence and
severity, especially those concerned with change over time
- Face and gesture analysis
- Speech and language processing
- Wearable sensors for monitoring psychopathology


*Paper Submission:*We invite submissions of long papers (up to 8 pages not
including references), short papers (up to 4 pages not including
references) and abstracts (1 page not including references) formatted
according to ICMI guidelines.

Papers and abstracts should be submitted through:
