Research & Publications: Advancing Global Mental Health Science.
This research program is led by Baris Demiralay, Associate Professor, MD, PsyD — a physician-scientist with over twenty years of international experience spanning psychiatry, clinical psychology, and behavioral science across the USA, Italy, Russia, and Turkey.
At Demiralay Institute, research is not only the foundation of what we do — it is the driving force behind our commitment to understanding the human mind and improving psychological well-being around the world.
We conduct and support rigorous, ethically grounded research across a broad spectrum of psychological disciplines, including clinical psychology, neuropsychology, developmental science, behavioral health, and digital mental health. Our research agenda is shaped by real-world needs and guided by a belief that science must serve both individuals and society.
We actively collaborate with universities, hospitals, public health agencies, and independent scholars to design innovative studies that are methodologically sound, socially relevant, and globally impactful. From early-stage pilot studies to large-scale community-based trials, our work is aimed at generating knowledge that informs policy, guides best practices, and improves lives.
Our commitment to open science means that we prioritize accessibility and transparency. We regularly publish findings in peer-reviewed journals and make educational reports, white papers, and briefing notes available to both the academic community and the public. Our digital library provides open-access resources to help students, professionals, and policy-makers stay informed about the latest developments in mental health science.
In addition, Demiralay Institute hosts research seminars, author talks, and publication workshops designed to foster scholarly exchange, mentorship, and skill development for emerging researchers. We believe that great ideas can come from anywhere — and we are committed to creating an inclusive research culture where every voice is valued.
Through our research and publications, we aim not only to advance the field of psychology but also to ensure that science remains a tool for equity, understanding, and healing.
