This study investigates integrating social development theories and clinical psychology practices
to enhance mental health interventions. The research underscores the importance of considering
socio-cultural contexts in clinical settings by critically examining the interplay between social
determinants and psychological processes. This interdisciplinary approach provides a nuanced
understanding of how community dynamics, socio-economic conditions, and cultural norms
impact mental health outcomes. The findings advocate for a comprehensive framework
incorporating social development insights into clinical psychology to create more effective,
culturally sensitive, and sustainable mental health interventions. This integration is posited to
improve therapeutic efficacy and contribute to the broader goal of mental health equity across
diverse populations.
