EDITORIAL / EDİTÖRDEN
Dear Readers,
We, the Cyprus Turkish Journal of Psychiatry and Psychology, are honored to publish the 2026 issue. We are living in a time when the world is more deeply engulfed in wars and conflicts. The recent war involving the US, Israel, and Iran has made the global situation more problematic and alarming. The Middle East has become a firestorm. Modern wars, driven by advanced technology, cause greater destruction and loss of life. These conflicts are fueled not only by power struggles but also by religious and economic motives. In a world fueled by violence, deaths are rising, and suffering is increasing. Today, the world is overwhelmed with more war and violence than ever before. Years ago, in 1932, Albert Einstein wrote a letter to Sigmund Freud asking, “Is there a way to save people from the catastrophe of war? Can psychology offer a solution?” Sigmund Freud’s answer was, “Aggression is inherent in human nature; it cannot be completely prevented, but culture and law can mitigate it. The development of civilization can increasingly suppress aggressive impulses.” Today, our answer to this suffering is similar to Freud’s. Nevertheless, the mental health field must continue to evolve in response to these challenges. We must keep working to benefit humanity by integrating technology with mental health practices, as our discipline develops alongside humanity itself. In this regard, our journal will continue contributing to scientific progress in mental health. Our journal holds the highest impact factor in all categories in Cyprus. According to Scimago, it is the only journal representing Turkey and Cyprus in the Q3 category of Clinical Psychology, ranking first. Among the four Clinical Psychology journals in the Middle East region, it ranks second. Additionally, in the field of psychiatry, it ranks sixth among ten Turkish journals. Out of 320 Clinical Psychology journals listed in Scimago worldwide, it is ranked 234th. We are also proud that our journal is indexed in SCOPUS and Web of Science. We sincerely thank everyone who contributed to the publication of the March 2026 issue of the Cyprus Turkish Journal of Psychiatry and Psychology.
