NYSPI, founded in 1895, has been a pioneer in integrating education, research, and therapeutic practices in the treatment of mental health disorders. The research conducted at NYSPI encompasses a broad spectrum of topics, from fundamental neurobiology to clinical and epidemiological studies, as well as child psychiatry and service-related research.
