Nalan Kalkan Oğuzhanoğlu The word pool formed during the translation process of many psychodrama books into Turkish, undertaken by the trainers of our institute, formed the basis of this book. The words that needed to be explained within the boundaries of psychodrama were tried to be analyzed with their interpretations and took their place on the pages.
This glossary will be obsolete as it is printed, but hopefully it will lead, with revisions and revisions, to become an increasingly comprehensive basic resource.

In the process of realizing this function, the use of psychometric and statistical methods, as well as various, well-known standard tests, which are specially created as required by the relevant event and situation, are common. While psychologists working in the academic field may only focus on research and psychological theories aiming to deepen in a particular field, some other psychologists use this information in the field of applied psychology to provide immediate and practical benefit. Although these approaches show some differences, they are not mutually exclusive, and many psychologists become involved in a research process at some point in their career journey. Every psychologist who wants to be successful in his professional career should have a good command of quantitative and qualitative research methods. Quantitative psychological research includes the application of statistical analysis methods to psychological research and the development of new statistical approaches to measure or explain human behavior.
Most researchers consider the SPSS software program, which is the most widely used statistical analysis program in social sciences and especially behavioral sciences, as a difficult method. Spss Applications and Research Methods for Psychologists book is a guiding guide that also aims to ease the difficulties in this subject. This book will provide psychologists who want to do research with the ability to analyze research problems statistically, and to scientifically analyze the phenomena and events that fall into the field of psychology.

Osman İyilikci Quantitative data analysis is an important part of scientific research methods in psychology. One of the consequences of this situation is that the research design used during scientific studies in psychology determines which technique will be used to analyze the data obtained. From this point of view, all statistical analyzes in this book are handled together with the research design and measurement level they are related to.
The research examples and the topics covered in the book have been determined in accordance with the terminology that psychologists encounter in research methods, statistics and experimental psychology courses throughout their education. In order to increase clarity, the statistical analyzes in the book are handled through sample data files that the reader can download from the relevant web page. In addition, each analysis is supported by an example of an APA style report.
Considering the topics it covers, it is thought that the book is suitable both for those who are just starting to use SPSS and for researchers with SPSS experience. Therefore, the book is a helpful resource for both students and researchers in scientific research projects, research methods courses, and computer-applied statistics courses.

Qualitative research methods are one of the most effective ways to study this subject in depth.
Qualitative research methods are very important scientific research methods that have been preferred more frequently by researchers in recent times, both in terms of working directly with the person in their own language and not denying the potential effect of the researcher on the process. In qualitative studies, the goal is not to determine the truth or falsity of predetermined hypotheses, but to gather in-depth information about why and how experiences affect individuals. Within the framework of this basic stance, qualitative research has different methods, and each method has its own goal and analysis methodology. In this book, these methods are presented to the reader in detail in different chapters, by dealing with all the subtleties within the framework of both the purpose of the research and the ways to be followed according to the method used, and exemplified within the framework of studies in the field of psychology.

Oya Mortan Sevi, Serap Tekinsav Sütcü Schizophrenia is a psychiatric disorder whose treatment is mostly limited to medical applications. Due to false beliefs that have existed since ancient times, it was thought that patients with schizophrenia would not benefit much from psychological treatments. Perhaps for this reason, few studies have been conducted on the psychological treatment of schizophrenia in our country. In the West, interest in this field has increased over the years and the effectiveness of Cognitive Behavioral Therapies, which are used in the treatment of many different mental problems, has also been proven in the treatment of schizophrenia.
This book contains the research and applications of the authors in this field for more than 10 years and was written with the belief that it will be a guide on psychosocial treatment for clinicians working with individuals diagnosed with schizophrenia. In this guide, the causes of schizophrenia, its main features, the main measurement tools necessary to evaluate these features, and different techniques used in psychosocial treatment, as well as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) are especially emphasized. By presenting information on the application of CBT techniques in a group setting, a therapy program created by the authors and tested by scientific research is explained in detail. Finally, the questions frequently encountered by clinicians working in this field and the answers that can help these questions are also included.
We hope it will be useful to everyone working in the field…

Velittin Kalınkara Our elderly world has also started to age demographically. Although the phenomenon of aging is mostly accepted as a problem of developed countries, it is now an issue that should be emphasized as much as developed countries. Since the beginning of the twentieth century, there has been a significant increase in the number and proportion of the elderly as a result of the improvement of health conditions, decrease in fertility and increase in quality of life with the effect of industrialization. This increase; It has caused rapid and important changes in family and community life, changed social institutions, behavior and values, and affected the status and functions of the elderly. In this process, while the family structure and social structure changed, the readiness of the family and the institutions did not change in the same direction. While the improvement of living conditions ensures longevity, the economic, social and health-related problems of longevity are generally ignored.
This book will be useful for individuals to equip themselves with basic information about aging and to develop an attitude towards solving problems. It is a source book especially for academicians working in health and social fields, students studying in the field and those who are interested in the subject.

Tarık Solmuş This book has been written to shed light on the traumas that are an integral part of our lives. It aimed to illuminate and raise awareness about many traumatic experiences from infancy to adulthood, from natural disasters to torture, from sexual harassment to terrorism, from mobbing to Coronavirus.
In addition, the lives of famous actors we watch in TV series and movies, musicians whose songs we listen to, political figures, athletes or writers whose books we read with admiration are examined. How these people, each of whom experienced deprivation, desperation, disappointment, harassment, abuse, and rape, cling to life, struggle, and how they reached the top from scratch are covered. For example, in all these lives, those who had a difficult childhood, who did not trust themselves, who felt inadequate, who had fear of failure, said, “I wonder! Can I do it one day too! Can I do it!” I hope it will be instructive, motivating and encouraging for everyone who thinks so.

Sezin Öner Trauma; it is defined as the whole of the effects that arouse feelings of extreme fear, horror, and helplessness, often caused by extraordinary and unexpected events. Adaptation problems after these traumatic events are inevitable, but in some people these problems can go from being short-term and last for months or even years.
In this book, how trauma is defined in different periods, explanatory models, risk and protective factors are compiled. In addition, Cognitive Processing Therapy, which has been proven to be the most effective treatment plan in the light of the effectiveness studies of psychological interventions, is introduced and different study modules of this approach are presented. This intervention plan, which is a branch of Cognitive-Behavioral therapies, focuses on the differentiation of trauma memory and post-traumatic growth processes rather than coping with trauma. In the case study presented at the end of the book, these focal points of the intervention plan and the treatment plan are exemplified.

Mert Akcanbaş When we consider that traumas as old as human history first took place in the Epic of Gilgamesh, and that traumatic symptoms seen in soldiers are mentioned in the works of Homer, it is clear that traumatic events and their consequences are phenomena that constantly evolve.

The book explains in detail the history of post-traumatic stress disorder, clinical diagnosis conditions, the dialectical structure and biochemistry of trauma, and introduces approaches that will enable victims to control and manage and reduce this disorder and its symptoms. Another feature of the book is that it contains the necessary question lists, questionnaires and individual tables so that the information given in it can be applied in practice.
