In order to better achieve our mission to innovate and improve mental health care, we have launched the Institute for Psychotherapeutic Innovation. As part of the restructuring, psychincubator will become a part of the Institute.
VISION STATEMENT

"Where science, practice, and innovation meet."

The Institute for Psychotherapeutic Innovation envisions a world where mental health care is accessible, effective, and continuously advancing through the integration of science, clinical wisdom, and trans-disciplinary collaboration. We strive to bring together pioneering leaders in psychotherapy, clinical science, technology, and other disciplines to generate bold, innovative solutions that transform the way mental health treatment is delivered, ensuring that individuals everywhere can have access to effective treatment.

We look forward to your support!

Scott Barrett is the Lenfest-Earth Institute Professor of Natural Resource Economics at Columbia University in New York City, and previously served as Vice Dean of the School of International and Public Affairs. He pioneered game-theoretic modeling of international cooperation, mainly applied to global environmental and public health issues. His models explain critical features of treaties and customary law, and show what these institutions are and are not able to achieve. He uses this approach to propose ways in which international institutions might be designed to succeed better.

Before joining Columbia in 2009, he was Professor at the Johns Hopkins University School of Advanced International Studies in Washington, DC, where he also directed the International Policy Program and the Global Health and Foreign Policy Initiative. From 1988 to 1999, he was Assistant and then Associate Professor of Economics at the London Business School, serving as Dean of the Executive MBA from 1992-1995. He has also been a visiting scholar/professor at École Polytechnique, Harvard, Princeton, Sciences Po’s Paris School of International Affairs, Yale, Université de Paris 1 Panthéon-Sorbonne and the Institute for Advanced Study in Berlin. From 2022 to 2025, he was Centennial Professor at the London School of Economics. Among other current affiliations, he is a Fellow and former chairman of the advisory board of the Beijer Institute of Ecological Economics in the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences.

He has been awarded numerous prizes for his work, including an honorary doctorate from the University of Bath (UK). In 2024 he was elected to the National Academy of Sciences. 

He is the author of dozens of journal articles and two books, Environment and Statecraft: The Strategy of Environmental Treaty-Making and Why Cooperate? The Incentive to Supply Global Public Goods, both published by Oxford University Press.

He has also played a number of roles in the policy arena, including as lead author of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, senior lead advisor to the International Task Force on Global Public Goods, and member of the World Health Organization’s Strategic Advisory Group on malaria eradication.
