Abstract:

As the Cyprus Turkish Journal of Psychiatry and Psychology, we are very pleased to have published the June 2024 issue. Conflicts and wars have become increasingly common in the world. While the world should be on a better course, humanity has begun to take a more adverse path. Here too, thousands of people lose their lives and become homeless. Each incident deeply affects people’s mental health with the traumas it creates. Violence is increasing rather than decreasing. Psychological problems are becoming more and more common. Developing technology and artificial intelligence also take their place in this entire cycle of violence. Of course, when this happens, the extent of violence gradually increases. Human tragedies are increasing day by day. Some even started talking about the Third World War. Even nuclear weapons can emerge in these wars by doing something crazy. People may have questions about what we mental health professionals can do at this point. A question like the one Einstein asked Freud in the past may still be on our minds today. Our answer to this is much the same as in the past. We mental health professionals will not be able to prevent this. Only we experts will be at a point where we are trying to heal people’s psychological wounds. This can be considered a very thought-provoking and sad point. We will do our best and continue our stance that prioritizes humanism and peace. We will continue to treat the wounds. We will try to increase our applications and treatment opportunities. For this reason, there will be a need for more qualified and well-trained mental health professionals. We will also continue to advance the science of mental health. Our journal will continue to support this development in the field of mental health. Our journal continues to be at the top of the indexes with the widest network in the field of psychiatry and psychology in its local region, Cyprus. It is ranked 8th among 9 Turkish psychiatry journals in Scimago. It ranks second among Turkish journals in Clinical Psychology and 5th in Clinical Psychology in the Middle East. In addition to being included in the SCOPUS and Web of Science lists, our journal’s future goals include increasing it from Q4 to Q3 in these indexes and being included in the Tr Index. As the Turkish Cypriot Journal of Psychiatry and Psychology, we would like to thank everyone who contributed.
