These debates, which spread to all areas of life, bring multi-disciplinarity on the ground of science. Among these disciplines, perhaps one of the most important contributions to the scientific literature on morality comes from the science of psychology, with its encompassing curiosity about the human and the human. In the modern science adventure of psychology, the subject of morality, whose traces we find in important researches in developmental psychology, clinical psychology, social psychology, experimental psychology, even industrial psychology and organizational psychology, is gaining visibility day by day and the study of morality from a psychological point of view attracts attention. With this work, which emerged in order to make a modest contribution to this scientific interest and to compile studies on morality systematically, it has been tried to describe a moral psychology framework with both theoretical and applied fields.

By climbing the developmental stages, the child acquires a set of skills ranging from eye contact to babbling, from gestures to first words, and from simple sentence combinations to complex sentences. Ultimately, the child who gains literacy skills continues to progress in language development through reading and writing. However, there may be some differences in the developmental process of the child, sometimes due to biomedical and sometimes environmental reasons. Speech and language therapists accompany children and their families who have a different language development adventure throughout this adventure.
This book arose out of a need for up-to-date and Turkish resources for speech and language therapy students and specialists, which are still developing in Turkey. In addition, each of them has been prepared by experts who continue their academic studies in this field for speech and language therapists and considering the child's language development steps. In this sense, it also aims to be a bedside source.

Undoubtedly, the most important contribution to the solution efforts regarding the problem of child abuse will be the attempts to increase scientific and managerial knowledge about this field. The fact that these initiatives include a multidisciplinary approach is of strategic importance considering the extremely limited production in this regard and has the potential to strengthen the search for solutions. Depending on the stated purpose and importance, the ProChild Project has determined as one of its main outputs the production of an edited book, which deals with the problem of child abuse with a multidisciplinary approach. This book; It deals with the problem of child abuse with its knowledge of medicine, education, law and communication, focuses on the problem of representation through the news of child abuse published in internet newspapers, and opens the digital components of child abuse to discussion in detail.

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.

Alparslan Akdoğan, Emirhan Aktaş, Meral Sert, Nurten Sargın, Vedat Bakır, Volkan Kutluca Man has been witnessing and being exposed to extraordinary events called traumatic experiences, from natural disasters to wars, from violence to accidents, many disasters and crises since his existence. However, it has been observed that there has been a rapid increase in extraordinary events in recent years. For example, when we look at some of the events that 15-year-old children are exposed to and witnessed in our country today, terrorist attacks, school bus accidents, plane, helicopter and train accidents, wars, earthquakes, floods, fires, avalanche disasters, increasing domestic violence and abuse cases, economic crises and pandemic comes to the fore. Considering all these experiences, it is seen that there are extremely challenging life events that threaten the mental health of children and adolescents. 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.

Figen Karaceylan Çakmakcı “Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder” (ADHD) is a neuropsychiatric disorder that can disrupt an individual's social life, academic life and family relationships. Although it is a disease that can completely change the future of the child if it is not treated and intervened correctly, satisfactory answers begin to emerge as a result of the right approach and appropriate interventions.
In my 20-year career as a Child and Adolescent Psychiatrist, I have experienced many times that only drug therapy is not sufficient in the treatment of Attention Deficit and Hyperactivity Disorder. The fact that family attitudes and the interventions of the teacher in the classroom are as important as psychopharmacological treatment has motivated me to write such a book.
With this book, it is aimed to inform about the mistakes that we know to be true about Attention Deficit and Hyperactivity Disorder, which is heard by everyone and perhaps defined as today's fashion disease. In addition, it is aimed both to ensure that children with ADHD are understood and to strengthen effective behavior management for families and teachers by providing accurate information and tips to our families and teachers about the relationship between ADHD and learning, which causes misunderstandings and prejudices.
We hope that this book, which offers solutions suitable for the needs of children who are our future, will be a useful resource for everyone who reads it.

As we age, we change, and as we change, we change the world together. “Old” is the label. It is not our age that makes us old. Neither aging nor man has a single face. Every person goes from face to face throughout the day. He puts on and takes off his masks. Aging comes to us today with different faces. As we get to know them, we also recognize our aging and old age. Knowing about aging and old age means knowing the person and the age, especially in the age when the life expectancy sees 100 years and hopes that it will go beyond.
Old age doesn't have to be a sad end. As important as believing in destiny is believing that we can change it; that's the real issue. Getting old is our destiny, but changing old age is in our hands. Those who can predict their destiny can change their destiny. Seeing is possible with light. Knowledge is a powerful light. The mighty light of life in youth dazzles the eyes. In old age, however, life becomes more visible as the power of the light of life decreases. Our duty today is to improve the lives of those who can see life, to prepare the conditions for them to see a life full of peace, happiness and meaning.

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.
In this work, the types, causes and consequences of bullying behavior, which is an important obstacle to individual development and positive bilateral human relations, are discussed in detail, and a model for the prevention of these behaviors with empathic skills is presented. With this book, besides academicians and practitioners (school psychological counselor, child and adolescent psychologist, classroom guidance teacher) who will work on bullying; It is aimed to help school administrators, branch teachers and parents develop awareness about the types, causes and consequences of bullying behavior.

The increase in the elderly population has necessitated the diversification of services for this population. Economic, psychological, social and health-related changes and problems in the life of the elderly person affect not only the elderly but also those living with them. As a result, it is necessary to carry out various studies by adopting different approaches to the problems that individuals are likely to encounter from the adult years. Based on this need, in the book "Group Programs for Individuals in Middle and Advanced Adulthood", programs and therapeutic content are planned for solving problems that can be experienced from adulthood on. The book you are reviewing is designed to consist of four functional parts. In the first part of the book, “social issues in middle and advanced adulthood” are mentioned. In this section, sessions that support communication skills, provide informative counseling, psychoeducational, life-cycle-based group therapy, adapt to menopause and andropause period, career planning in advanced adulthood, social life skills after retirement and make effective use of free time are planned. In the second part, group sessions based on cognitive-behavioral, psychoeducational, narrative therapy and mindfulness-based techniques were developed, addressing the process of “adapting to the changing cycle in advanced adulthood” under the headings of adapting to changing roles, empty nest syndrome, adaptation to second marriage, and developing grandparenting skills. In the third part, under the title of “psychological support for special groups in advanced adulthood”, psychological support groups are planned for people who are in need of special care, who are responsible for caring for the disabled and those with Alzheimer's disease, and who have adult patients in intensive care, and it is aimed to protect the mental health of individuals living with these special groups. In the fourth part, group studies supported by cognitive behavioral, expressive, humanistic and spiritual approaches were prepared for individuals who are trying to provide "psychological support to individuals in advanced adulthood" and who are trying to cope with depression, fear of death and the grieving process.
We hope that the “Group Programs for Individuals in Middle and Advanced Adults” book, which is supported by enjoyable and practical exercises, will be a resource that can be easily used by those who volunteer to support individuals in their old age.

Akif Avcu, Çınar Kaya, Çiğdem Demir Çelebi, Derya Eryiğit, Erdem Sevim, Halil Ekşi, K. Gamze Yaman, Mustafa Otrar, Müge Yüksel, Simel Parlak, Tuğba Türk Kurtça It is obvious that the presence of a child with special needs at home affects all family members. The financial and moral efforts of parents to support the developmental processes of their children can sometimes lead to very tiring experiences. During this time, the needs of siblings with normal development also appear, but these needs can be ignored. It should not be forgotten that having a sibling with special needs can affect a child with normal development from career choice to character. When the domestic and international literature is examined, it is seen that support groups, psychological counseling and guidance activities are mostly focused on parents, but there is not much work on siblings. The book "Living with My Special Sister", whose main purpose is to fill this gap, includes a psychoeducation program to support secondary and high school students with special needs siblings in their problems, as well as psychological counselors, psychologists, special education specialists who work/will work in the field within the scope of rehabilitation counseling. and aims to be a guide for social workers. In the five different chapters in the book, a content that will provide clues about both the social perspective and the emotions experienced by family members and their coping methods is aimed. This study, which is planned without forgetting that the sibling with normal development, as well as the parents, has a common denominator, will further strengthen the family system.

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…

Ahmet Rıfat Kayış, Banu Yıldız, Ezgi Ekin Şahin, Hüseyin Öztürk, İlknur Yeniçeri, İsmail Yelpaze, Kerem Coşkun, Mehmet Sarıçalı, Meryem Demir Güdül, Osman Hatun, Özge Canoğulları, Sinan Okur, Şeydi Ahmet Satıcı, Tuba Aydın Güngör, Yalçın Kanbay, Zeynep Ayça Terzioğlu Since you have started to read this book, we can assume that you have an interest and curiosity in psychology. Psychology attracts the attention of almost everyone at some point because it tries to explain the "me" as a human being. Some want to understand themselves, some their partner, their boss, some their children and some their parents. In other words, the effort to understand people and ourselves in the first place leads us to learn psychology. As in the verses of the famous folk poet of Anatolia, Yunus Emre, which are rosewood in our language, "Science is knowledge, knowledge is knowing yourself, if you do not know yourself, it is a lot of reading".
However, this self-knowledge, self-learning, self-discovery can often turn into a toy in the hands of those who turn science into a profit for their own interests. As a matter of fact, not understanding psychology correctly "Are you reading my mind now?" It may also cause you to become the target of the question. “I am also interested in psychology.”, “We also understand psychology, I love personal development books.” Such sentences will be some of the things that those who will specialize in this field will often hear. So, is psychology really a field that anyone who is interested in can specialize in by reading a few books? I can imagine that you answered “no” to this question. Still, it can be equally dangerous to popularize psychology too much and push it away from science, leaving it only in the hands of scientists and making it elitist. Because science will only be useful as long as it reaches people and continues to develop like a living organism in life.
The science of psychology was shaped centuries ago by the answers given by philosophers to the questions they asked to understand human, and then it was born as a science on the basis of physiological studies. Psychology continues to keep our curiosity alive today, with hundreds of theories and millions of concepts written about it.

It helps us to see the inner worlds of children more clearly.
Child Psychology with Pictures aims to get to know children by examining pictures drawn by children.

Ali Engin Uygur - Hilal Bebek - Resimleyen: Nur Yılmaz The Change Agenda is not an agenda to advise, advise, or incite. Psychotherapy is not!

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.

This development and change process of the individual can bring along adaptation problems. In order to understand the possible incompatibilities experienced by the individual with himself, others and the society, and to carry out studies to increase harmony, it is necessary to know what harmony and incompatibility are, what types of adjustment problems exist, what factors affect adjustment problems, and what can be done to prevent and intervene in adjustment problems. For this reason, this book, which deals with all development periods of the individual from birth to death and possible adaptation problems that he may experience, is a resource for experts and students working in the field.

While increasing life expectancy and lowering birth rates are considered great achievements in modern science and health care, their significant impact on future generations is underrated. No matter how long we live, it becomes necessary for every country to rethink and restructure its social and economic institutions in order to ensure the well-being of individuals when working life ends. The aging of societies can affect economic growth and the sustainability of families, the ability of states and societies to provide resources for older people, and many other issues, including international relations. Despite scientific evidence, the importance and global implications of population aging are not yet fully understood. There is a need to raise awareness not only of global aging issues, but also of the importance of rigorous international scientific research and policy dialogue to help us respond to the challenges and opportunities of an aging world.
This book paints a picture of the impact of the aging population on the economy, society, family and environment. We hope this book, consisting of twenty chapters and contributed by 32 authors, will encourage you to identify the best ways to address dialogue, international studies, and the universal human experience about work, economics, family, communication, landscaping, and behavioral issues. We believe that scientists and every member of the society will be inspired by these suggestions and experiences in planning our own future, the aging and aging policies of the world societies and our country.
