Network analysis for psychopathology, introduced by Kashihara (2019), has the potential to greatly transform the research and treatment of psychiatric disorders. This paper discusses how we integrate the literature on cognitive and clinical psychology into the network analysis. Most network analysis in psychiatric disorders has used the data obtained from questionnaires, although incorporating the experimental tasks used in cognitive and clinical psychology into the assessment is worthy for clarifying the mechanisms that underlie psychiatric disorders. However, some issues arise when the data obtained from the experimental tasks are used in network analysis. These barriers indicate new issues that cognitive and clinical psychologists need to solve in the future.
