Barbaros Yalçın, Mehmet Ak, Mehmet Kavaklı, Şahin Kesici Addiction is affecting our lives like a growing monster. There is no one in our family who can say that it does not happen. What are the types of addictions? How do cigarette, alcohol, substance and internet addiction develop? Even if you control the family, it is difficult to control the school, dormitory, neighborhood, friends, in short, the environment. Is it preventable? Yeah. How? How will we protect our children, what are our duties? These are the questions many parents seek answers to. So what will the parents do? What will they not do? We tried to produce a work that could answer these questions of parents and guide parents in crisis situations. The idea for this book was born when the paths of experts from different fields who work with substance addicts in their professional practice crossed in a project for substance addicts. During the project process, interviews were held with many drug addicts and their families. Internet addicted individuals were supported. Cognitive-behavioral-based group and individual therapy sessions were conducted. The experiences gained were filtered through the examination of scientific publications and works, and were compiled into a book in an understandable language with the aim of guidance. The main purpose of this book you hold in your hands is to increase the awareness of you, parents, by revealing the effects of the attitudes and behaviors of parents or other family members on the perception of self and the outside world formed in the world of children and young people, and how these increase their addiction potential, and by revealing concrete events in this process. .

Mazlum Çöpür In every society, the main goal is to raise children mentally and physically healthy. Although mental and physical health, the foundation of which is laid in the mother's womb, mutually affect each other, if a person who is in good physical health is not mentally healthy, he does not enjoy life and feels unhappy. Negative events in childhood do not only impair mental health during childhood, but the effects of this continue in adulthood. For this reason, it is the key to raising healthy generations that children's social, emotional and cognitive development, personality and language development progress in accordance with their age, living in harmony with their environment and showing their talents, and feeling themselves as valuable and loved individuals. Knowing how the normal development of children follows and how to continue this course without interruption will enable us to raise mentally healthy children.
For reasons beyond our control, mental health problems may occur in children. Timely detection and treatment of these problems will prevent or minimize permanent damage to children's mental health.
In this book the steps that children go through for a mentally healthy development, the factors affecting their development, and some important and common mental problems are explained. It contains a lot of information, especially for students and teachers of psychological counseling and guidance, child development and psychology departments of universities. It is also hoped that the book will be useful to parents who are interested in the subject.

One of the most important duties of field experts is to help protect children's mental health and to provide psychosocial support in extraordinary situations. In this book, extraordinary situations have been defined, tried to be explained by considering them one by one, and examples of activities to be used in extraordinary events and employees in extraordinary situations are given. I hope that the book will be useful to all field experts, especially children and adolescents, and to those who are interested in these subjects.

Alagün Belce Bahşi, Nilüfer Özkan, Nur İnci, Neslihan Zabcı, Pelinsu Bulut, Gülgün Uzunoğlu Azman, Sevim Berin İnci İzmir, Eda Yardımcı What was childhood trauma? Could the traumas experienced in the early period continue their effects throughout life? Well, what could a child have experienced that would cause his life to lose all its colors?
In this book, which aims to shed light on the bitter darkness of all these questions, you will encounter the stories of eight little children. You will witness how some people lost all their colors in their safe harbor, some on their birthday, which they waited for a whole year, in the darkness of a rough night that some never expected, and how some people lost all their colors in a hug they embraced with love and trust. Then how those disappearing colors blend into each other and turn into darkness...
Well, is it possible to strike a match into this deep darkness? Can this darkness be lit up a little bit? Is there a time to illuminate these deep darkness in which we are lost? But what about a way to regain all lost colors?
Another purpose of this book, while answering all these questions, is to introduce the reader to psychotherapy interventions that can be applied in the early trauma process, and to raise awareness of how these interventions contribute to the trauma process, and to convey the process of reprocessing each lost color into the child's psyche.

Fatih Yavuz, Kadir Özdel, Levent Sütçigil, M. Hakan Türkçapar, Önder Kavakcı, Şahabettin Çetin, Şenel Karaman, Zeynep Zat Psychotherapies have come a long way since Freud in approaching psychological problems. Psychoanalysis was objectively the first sign of a serious revolutionary development. Eyes were on him for a long time, and he played a role that extended beyond himself, affecting other areas. Life as a dynamic process was pushing the boundaries of existing theory, its concepts and method, and different theorists came up with various approaches to psychodynamic therapies. Other approaches that are functional, useful for different needs and suitable for both the complexity and simplicity of the human have started to impose themselves. At this point, the dawn of new developments was on the horizon. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and its branches, which have matured with the meeting of behavioral and cognitive approaches, have started to be grasped by experts working in the field since the 1990s in our country. It has been proven by experimental studies that speech, words, metaphors, and thought, based on a theory and scientific method, have functions that affect the brain in the process of looking at issues, behavior and decision-making in a way similar to the chemical molecules in drugs. Acceptance and Determination Therapy was a new stop on the way, in terms of inviting people to take action and offering methods to overcome obstacles, in the emergence of certain inner lives that prevent us from living a meaningful and rich life. Schema Therapy, which reveals the basic structures of recurring difficulties in people's lives and intervenes with these complaints with experiential techniques, and Metacognitive Therapy, which intervenes by focusing on the effect of thoughts about thoughts on chronicling the problems, were again the other important stages of this journey. In addition to all these, EMDR Therapy, which works with memories to reduce or eliminate the psychological effects of traumas, that is, negative experiences and psychological threats, has emerged as another psychotherapy method that is frequently used today and its effects have been scientifically proven.
This book, which deals with today's frequently used, scientifically proven and high-evidence psychotherapy methods; Beyond giving information about contemporary methods and how they work, it is also worth reading as a comparative psychology history. In this respect, it is a work that has a rich content and is easy to read, but also very in-depth, not only for experts but also for those who are curious about current developments in the world of psychology.

Mustafa Şahin - Sırrı Akbaba One of the traumatic experiences in childhood and adolescence is "bullying" behaviors. Bullying behaviors of various types (verbal, physical, emotional, racist, hiding, behavior disrupting, taking/destroying something belonging to someone else and sexual) seen at school and in virtual environments adversely affect the social, emotional and psychological development of children and adolescents. and cause legal problems.
These negative effects of bullying behaviors are not limited to childhood and adolescence, but it is seen that they negatively affect important personality traits such as self-esteem, self-confidence, psychological resilience, psychological well-being and feelings of love, respect, tolerance and trust in bilateral human relations.

Specific Learning Disability (SLD); It is a neurobiologically based disorder that is often noticed with the beginning of the child's academic life, but if it is not detected and intervened by specialists, its lifelong effect compels the person to struggle in all areas of his life, and genetic and environmental factors are effective. The definition of "DYSLExia" is used more often than "Specific Learning Disorder", as it is often defined as only the difficulty experienced in the "reading" skill.
Although it is sometimes defined as "disorder", sometimes "disease", sometimes "difficulty", sometimes "difference", it is a condition independent of intelligence that seriously affects both social and academic life of the individual, but in some cases it is a mis-perceived "intelligence retardation". is a hassle.
ÖÖG; Since it is a difficulty that affects language development and use, verbal and written expression, literacy and mathematics skills, it can lead to school failure and additional school adjustment problems. Considering the importance of school life in the child's mental development, when not correctly detected and intervened, the accompanying Attention Deficit and Hyperactivity Disorder, Anxiety Disorders and Behavioral Disorders are often overlooked comorbid conditions and pave the way for the child to experience emotional trauma.
As a result of nearly 10 years of experience and experience, it was decided to write this book. Practical practices of a team of Child and Adolescent Psychiatrists and Child Psychologists were shared. I hope it will be used as a reference book about what are known to be true about SLD, the importance of early detection and correct intervention, and what the legal rights of the child with SLD are…
