Welcome to the Open Therapy Institute (OTI)
OTI is committed to patient-centered care that respects all values and worldviews.
Our mission is to address socio-political bias in mental health care
We’re taking three steps to achieve this mission…
-
1. Building New Scholarship
OTI’s journal, Frontiers in Mental Health, features top scholars addressing neglected issues in mental health, including self-censorship, cancel culture, race, gender, sexuality, faith, antisemitism, and more.
-
2. Advancing New Ideas
OTI’s journal articles are adapted into CE workshops for therapists, op-eds for the public, and peer-reviewed research to deepen the field.
-
3. Building a Professional Community
OTI scholars collaborate on emerging questions, while therapists in our membership program engage in peer-consultation groups and professional events to build their skills and support each other.
Our long-term vision is a thriving movement of scholars and clinicians advancing research, training, and services, enhancing the public discourse, and improving care for millions of poorly served patients.
