Nilüfer Voltan Acar, İlhan Yalçın, Volkan Avşar, Begüm Serim-Yıldız, Zeynep Erkan Atik, Emre Umucu Looking at the Principles and Techniques of Group Counseling, the first edition of which was published in 1995, it can be understood that a long way has been achieved.
The book includes examples of psychological counseling sessions with dozens of groups that I led in my thirty-eight years of professional life. It is thought that these examples will make it easier to understand what is being said. Another difference was the decoration of this enhanced press with pictures. While planning the content of the Principles and Techniques of Group Counseling, groups based on the learning model were taken as the basis. For this reason, the concepts of client and counselor were used. However, in matters of transference and resistance, the concept of “patient” has been included, especially when referring to other sources.
The book began with an overview of Group Counseling, with particular emphasis on group guidance and group counselling; because, unfortunately, even those from the field often confuse these two concepts. While their job was group guidance, "I did group counselling." They say that and even name their thesis that way. By focusing on some of the concepts mentioned in the book, then the issue of what kind of training a "psychological counselor" should receive in order to be able to do group counseling is discussed. The characteristics of the counseling group, therapeutic forces, phases of the group, goals, resistance and transference are also discussed in detail. In addition, the focus is on exercises and their place in group counseling, clients with difficulties and ways of coping with these clients. In this edition (in press), the concept of co-leader is emphasized. A synthesis was also made on Therapeutic Work Adaptation, and the place of therapeutic powers in work harmony was emphasized. In the section of clients with emotional difficulties, internet (virtual) addiction and ways of coping are mentioned. The comparison of group counseling and individual counseling is presented in a table. Since this book is a print, not a print, it is not much different from the previous edition.

Beyza Kırca, Halil Ekşi, Kübra Kaplaner, Osman Hatun, Serra Dinç Counseling with groups encourages clients to help each other, encourages cooperation, guides them to take steps in problem solving, provides opportunities for them to experience new and different experiences in relationships, and is intended for the continuous development of both the individual and the group to be monitored by the counselor and used effectively. It is a dynamic process that provides the necessary resources. Group counseling is a powerful and effective therapeutic process that supports the mental health and psychological well-being of clients.
In terms of psychological well-being and mental health, it is extremely important for people to know their own self and become free. Self-knowledge and liberation can only be possible when the physical/biological existence of man meets and integrates with his spirituality. Spirituality cannot be thought of independently of meaning in life. Victor Frankl states that the search for meaning is innate and is a natural and healthy motive of human life.
The main purpose of this book is to accompany people in their journey of self-discovery and self-realization by supporting their spiritual development. In this book in your hand, spiritually oriented group counseling practices for adolescents, youth and adults are included. In the book, examples of how counseling approaches such as Logotherapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Reality Therapy, Positive Psychology, Humanistic Psychology, Narrative Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Awareness Therapy, and Art Therapy can be handled from a psychospiritual perspective are presented. We hope that our book will make valuable contributions to mental health professionals, to those who want to increase their psychological well-being and support their spiritual development.

Nilüfer Voltan Acar This book, which deals with research and experiments, which are the "ceremonial games" of the psychological counseling process, is a useful practitioner for those working in the field. The author, who has an MSW degree in Personal Work and Marriage Family Counseling and is a Gestalt therapist, presents most of the experiments to the reader with the understanding of Gestalt therapy. The book details the exercises developed by both the author and valuable names in the field with facilitating pictures and encourages the group leaders to be creative.

Üzeyir Ok, Zümrüt Gedik, Zehra Erşahin Spiritual care and counseling, which is one of the application areas of the psychology of religion, has a strong potential in human service in different conditions. Religions and spiritual traditions; It is known that they have important roles in coping with the difficulties of life, making sense of life, feeling belonging to a social group, creating an identity and choosing a healthy life for people who belong to them. On the other hand, helping and caring for people living in difficult conditions is a universal human instinct. Helping gratuitously on a voluntary basis is seen as a virtue in almost all life philosophies and religious-spiritual traditions.
In Turkey, studies in the field of spiritual care and counseling, which bring together humanitarian service and religion-spiritualism, have gained momentum in the last 10 years. However, there are very few studies that deal with the subject holistically and in depth and emphasize the scientific basis. This book on spiritual care for the sick in hospitals intends to take existing studies a step further, both in terms of providing an empirical basis and in terms of being dedicated to a particular field.
After explaining the effect of spirituality on human mental and physical health in detail in the book, the spiritual care needs of the patients were compared with the non-sick groups in the study, and the perception levels of the religious officials who still practice spiritual care, their competencies, personality dimensions and field experiences that are effective in their competencies are discussed in depth. In addition to these, in this book, a hospital spiritual care study model has been tried to be created in line with the empirical findings and literature knowledge.

Şahin Kesici, Mehmet Ak, Elif Subaşı, Hatice İrem Özteke Kozan Man comes to the world, which is expatriate, on a gradual journey. The soul first becomes a guest in the mother's womb, which is a safer, warmer and more peaceful home than the world. Then the world life, which is the difficult journey of the expat life, begins. It is an unforgettable but secret love, the destination and the safe first stop. Sometimes knowingly, sometimes unconsciously, the search continues. As humans grow, they no longer fit in the nest they grew up in, like birds and other creatures. They have to build a home themselves. They model what they learned in the previous slot, creating similar slots. Some will be successful, some will not. For real peace and happiness, a home to go after a certain age is indispensable. Home is a place where people feel safe and rest when they enter. To leave the turmoil of the outer world in front of the door, to remove everything from the body; And feeling the peace, warmth, serenity, trust and belonging from the soul is only possible with a home. But unfortunately, it seems like it has become difficult to build a home and be at peace in the home nowadays. Self-centredness gripped our souls, we became slaves of capitalism. We searched for that warm home in temporary accommodation. Especially as you get older, you will see that no matter what you have, if there is no home, you will be missing. You can't find the feeling of children in a peaceful house, the physical and spiritual pleasure of two married lovers, the peace of being together in anything else and it will always be missing.
This book; It has been prepared to convey to couples what they should and should not do for a happy marriage and a peaceful home, based on lived stories, the psychological and physiological needs of couples in their married life, a healthy communication and sexual life. We wish our book to be a guide for you to be informed in order to be a companion on the path of life.

Kaan Zülfikar Deniz Although statistics is a very easy field to learn, the learner's own affective barriers can prevent learning. When we look at those who have problems in learning statistics, it is seen that most of these individuals have had negative experiences in numerical or statistics courses in the past.
This work, named Statistical, provides a practical learning resource for researchers, academicians and students working in both social sciences and other fields of science, without overwhelming the learner with statistical formulas. A self-resource has been created for all the information needed for introduction to statistics and the application of fundamental analysis.
The first part of the book has a structure that is explained simply and reinforced with real-life examples. The statistical information in the first part forms the basis of the subjects in the second part. In the second part, the introduction of the SPSS program, the explanation for all statistical analysis, the visual processing steps of the SPSS application of the relevant subject, the introduction of the SPSS results, the tabulation and interpretation parts in accordance with the APA format, which is frequently used in social sciences. In addition to these, the most common mistakes in the relevant statistics at the end of each topic and the special situations that the researcher may encounter and the solution proposals, which consist of their solution suggestions, are in the nature of answers to the questions that most researchers cannot find answers to. The book aims to provide permanent learning as a whole and systematically.

Demet Gürüz, Ayşen Temel Eğinli Communication is something we cannot give up in order to understand, to explain, or to agree… A cycle that we cannot escape from, continuing and responding to what we understand, what we say, and our agreements… An escalator that goes and comes continuously from us to us, from us to you, from you to us, in short from person to person… A cornerstone of life. Contact…
It is a book that guides all individuals in the society these days when we complain about lack of communication and realize that communication is important... While it contributes to learning what communication skills are, it also sheds light on people's ability to see where they make mistakes... It answers the following questions that come to mind:
They don't understand me, I can't explain myself, what should I do?
I think I empathize, or am I not?
There is a constant conflict between us, how can I resolve it?
I'm unsuccessful in group work, why can't I express myself?
I can't convince… How can I do it?
Communication in the family is broken… Why?
My communication with my friends is very bad at my workplace, how can it be improved?
Am I a good listener?

Aysel Aziz Communication is a long process that started with the existence of human beings in the world, has survived to the present day and will continue in our future.
It is clear that it would be so difficult to explain a subject with such wide borders in the numbered pages of a book! However, by placing certain limitations, important parts of this long adventure were taken and tried to be conveyed to the reader within the framework of the introduction.
Starting from the definition of communication within this kind of limitation, after general information about communication such as its process, relationship with other disciplines, communication types, functions and models, interpersonal communication, mass communication and mass media, news agencies, historical communication and mass communication in Turkey. development, organizational communication, internet and social media. In the last two chapters of the book, the effects of communication on society and communication researches are discussed.
Each of these introductory information; It is researched, analyzed and published under separate headings by other academics, authors and researchers. The aim of this book, titled "Introduction to Communication", is to give general information about such studies as preliminary, and to direct those who want to deepen in their subjects to such studies.

Gönül BUDAK, Gülay BUDAK It would not be wrong to call the age of communication, where social media, virtual networks and mass communication advance with giant strides, as the age of image.
The importance of image structuring at individual, organizational and national levels is related to the fact that the image is a phenomenon that can be established and managed. Image studies are at the focal point of public relations. All other work is shaped around this focal point. For this reason, characterizing the activities carried out to create an image as public relations will be insufficient in naming the activities carried out. It would be more correct to say "Image Engineering" instead.
Within the framework of the SA 8000 Social Responsibility standard determined in 1997, businesses have started to contribute to the fields of Social Entrepreneurship, which also aims to create a positive image by proving to their target audience that they work with a "win-win" mentality and to provide a sustainable contribution to the welfare of the society by supporting disadvantaged people within the scope of their social responsibilities.
The target audiences defined within the scope of public relations are quite broad. It starts from within the business, from the employees, customers, potential customers, competitors, government, etc. It extends to many popular communities at the national and international level. One of the most important tools in reaching large masses of people; media, the other is the virtual environment. Thanks to virtual networks and social media, the business has been able to have the freedom to manage its own news. Moreover, it has become easier to manage the image of the enterprise, which can be edited 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, and can shape the desired visuality and content at any time in an extremely dynamic environment. However, considering how fast the spread of information as well as its creation can be in the age of communication, it should be accepted that the preservation of the image has become more difficult than before.
The importance of public relations activities is gradually increasing due to the search for answers on how to protect the image as well as how to structure the image in the desired direction.

Nilüfer Voltan Acar In this book, it is given why the Human Relations course should be given within the group counseling process. Written in a plain language like speaking, the book contains examples and plenty of exercises on the subject. Many concepts in communication are explained schematically. Drawings were also used to explain the subject.

Salih Güney The indispensable element for all businesses is people. For this reason, businesses that attach importance to the selection, placement, training, promotion, evaluation and retirement of their employees have always been successful in business life.
The human resources management book is a resource that people or institutions that want to be successful in the processes from the recruitment of the personnel to their retirement can apply.

Bülent Yılmaz This course book has been prepared on the basis of the content of the courses taught under the name of Statistics, General Statistics and Introduction to Statistics in Education Faculties, Science and Literature Faculties and Vocational Schools (Health Vocational Schools).
In the first chapter, the concepts of statistics and graphics, series and frequency curves are emphasized. In the next chapters, probability and probability function, expected values and moments, distribution theory, correlation and regression are studied with extensive examples.

Kasım Hakan Emanetoğlu This book was written not to put children to sleep, but to awaken both the reader and the listener. Every sentence you will find in the book has been chosen to either increase your awareness of the problem you are facing or to activate your child's self-capacity to cope with this problem. The metaphors used in the stories are the manifestation of the unconscious. It is aimed to reveal the self-healing power of the psyche with cognitive interventions interspersed among the stories, such as the healing of a wound in your body with a great effort, spontaneously but without your knowledge. In this way, it is expected that the metaphorical stories will create strong bridges between thought and emotion and change the perspective of the reader and the listener.

“In this book, you will not only find stories that are written in a fluid, intelligent and creative language and that are enjoyable to read, but also gain scientific knowledge about the topics of these stories, and you will better understand these difficulties that children frequently encounter. You will also reach basic information such as how to create healing stories in these difficult situations and how to use metaphors in them. I believe that this book will be read in one breath with Hakan's written language that I admire, and that it will be announced as a bedside book by every adult, from parents to teachers and experts, who are together with the child. “

First we set our goal. Our goal is; so that a researcher can learn to do his own analysis in an enjoyable way. In order to achieve our goal, we had to provide the information that the researcher might need while analyzing, in a plain and fluent language without entering into discussions. For each analysis, we created a research story. We wanted to immerse the reader in the story by staying away from a cold or unpleasant academic language. We tied the story to a research question. We made our readers feel that statistics is a tool to satisfy their curiosity. Afterwards, we explained all the steps of the relevant analysis with screenshots in Jamovi. We could have stopped at this point, but the researcher's need did not end there. How would the analysis results be reported? In order to meet this need, we first explained how to write an academic report after each analysis. Afterwards, we completed the study by showing how to report the results of the analysis in everyday language for practitioners.
We think that this book will contribute especially to social scientists who will just start statistical analysis. With this intention, each of our writers showed special sensitivity to their own section. They were patient with the feedback we gave and re-edited their sections to increase clarity. In addition, we gave our readers the opportunity to access the data sets in digital environment so that they can repeat the analyzes they learned in all sections. The Jamovi team has done its part to show that statistics is a pleasant world; We tried to do our part with the same motivation.
We hope that this book, which we have prepared in order to contribute to the research journey of new researchers and to make the analysis process enjoyable, will lead to many researches...
Analysis knowledge and range is a master's toolbox. The more various tools he has in him, the higher his capacity to solve the problems he encounters, whatever the type.

Nurgül Begiç, Hava Selçuk, Onur Köksal, Recep Özkan, Selcen Gültekin, Servet Senem Uğurlu, Yahya Akyüz, Yonca Gül Uğurlu While the human element that makes up the society affects geography and culture on the one hand, it is also affected by geography and culture. The human element of the social structure consisting of men and women differs from society to society according to the position of these two sexes in the structure. The position of women and men in society is one of the most important factors in determining the place of that society in other societies.
The meanings ascribed to women and men by society differentiate and differentiate the contributions of the sexes to social life, even by drawing sharp boundaries, sometimes visible and sometimes invisible barriers/prohibitions. This situation; It affects every aspect of the social structure, from family life regulated by gender to individual relations, from business life to educational status.
The cultural rituals, which constitute the main source of the differences in the social roles of these two sexes, in which the existence of one is not possible without the other, has sometimes brought the woman to the fore, sometimes the man, to the point of dominating the other and even depriving him of all kinds of rights. This deprivation and domination has been mostly in favor of men in the history of humanity, and women have been pushed into the secondary plan by being overshadowed by men in almost every era and society.

Spirituality, structures and behaviors related to spirituality have an undeniable potential in terms of well-being in sub-fields of psychology and especially psychological counseling. Spiritual experience, both positive and negative, cannot be separated from human functionality. In many applied and theoretical studies in the field of psychology, it has been wondered and examined how spirituality functions in human cognition, behavior and emotional processes since the early years of the field's formation. Especially in recent years, spirituality has started to be considered as a potential resource in terms of psychological well-being and functionality in applied psychology research and psychological help fields, and many approaches and methods have been developed that take spirituality into account in the psychological help process. The book is the first of its kind in Turkey with a comprehensive content of spiritual counseling services in institutions, from the spiritual aspects of counseling theories, to the spiritual evaluation of the clients, to the relations of various religious traditions with spiritual counseling. The book, which aims to shed light on the transcendent dimension of human beings for students and employees who receive education in all fields of mental health, especially PDR and Psychology, is enriched with case examples.

Sedat Şen Structural equation modeling has become a frequently used methodology both in social sciences and other fields in recent years. This methodology can be used in analyzes such as scale development, examining the psychometric properties of the scale, measuring invariance, testing multivariate models, estimating direct and indirect effects, as well as providing researchers with the opportunity to test their theories on empirical data. As in other multivariate statistics, advanced computer software is needed for parameter estimation in structural equation modeling. Mplus program, which is among the structural equation modeling software, has become a prominent latent variable program in recent years thanks to the flexibility it offers. This book, which is the first work on the Mplus program written in Turkey, focuses on how to implement structural equation modeling applications with the Mplus program; Path analysis, confirmatory factor analysis, structural regression, latent growth models and applications of multigroup and multilevel models are included in the Mplus axis. The main purpose of this book is to facilitate the understandability and applicability of structural equation modeling for readers. Hope it will be a useful reference resource for anyone who plans to use structural equation modeling in their research with the Mplus program...

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.

Tahir Khaniyev - İhsan Ünver - Zafer Küçük - Tülay Kesemen In this book titled "Solution Problems in Probability Theory", we have included the original problems we have created as well as the problems in Turkish, Azerbaijani, English and mostly Russian sources. Our main aim in this study is to enrich students' mathematical thinking structures by enabling them to see as many problems as possible. We believe that this problem and exercise book, the first edition of which has been published, will be useful to all students taking probability courses.
In the first part of the book, after giving examples on “Basic Concepts of Probability Theory”, briefly permutation and combination, there are many examples suitable for n >2 dice rolls, especially among the examples suitable for the classical probability definition. In addition, examples that use probability rules related to the combination of at least two events are given weight. The probabilities of independent events, fully independent events and conditional probability, Bayes' theorem and problems complying with the total probability formulas are prepared. Finally, in the first chapter, very comprehensive geometric probability questions are solved.
The second part is devoted to discrete and continuous probability distributions. Bernoulli, binomial, discrete regular, geometric, negative binomial, hyper geometric, Poisson distributions from discrete distributions, regular, exponential, normal, Gamma, Weibull, Beta, Cauchy distributions from continuous distributions are discussed.
In the third chapter, problems on "Numerical and Functional Characteristics of Random Variables" are expressed and their solutions are presented to the reader in the form of exercises. In this section, the expected value, variance, higher order moments, moment generating and characteristic functions of random variables are examined.
We believe that it will be very useful to the faculty members who recommend this book as a supplementary book in our universities and to the students who apply to benefit from it.

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.

Yavuz Unat Although the research on Ottoman science in Turkey is carried back to 1955 academically, it is still very new. For the last 20 years or so, important studies have been carried out on Ottoman science, and with these studies, general opinions about Ottoman science have gradually changed. In particular, the Ottomans did not follow the West sufficiently, and the evaluations made only by looking at the innovation movements are far from drawing the general framework of Ottoman science. Studies of the history of science show us that the success of civilizations is largely dependent on scientific and cultural movements. In this sense, it is impossible to say that the Ottoman Empire, which managed to become a 600-year-old world empire, failed in science. This book, which we call Science and Technology in the Ottomans, is a study that compiles the researches of science historians working in this field in Turkey and consists of some published articles. The aim of the study is to convey the researches and results in this field to the general reader. Science and Technology in the Ottomans consists of three main parts. The first chapter contains general writings on Ottoman science and is titled An Overview of Science and Philosophy. The second part is devoted to the subject of Mathematical Sciences (Mathematics, Astronomy and Physics) in the Ottomans. The third part includes the subjects of Geography, Geology, Medicine and Technology in the Ottomans.

Raising individuals suitable for the needs of the age has been the most basic subject of education in every period. This requirement has influenced the design and implementation of educational situations in many ways. Considering its contribution to learning motivation, "effectiveness" and "fun" are two important concepts that should be taken as a basis in the preparation of educational situations. As the name suggests, this book, which is aimed to be a guide for educators, presents the basic and theoretical information necessary to make educational situations effective and enjoyable, with a simple and fluent expression, by giving place to different prefixes and tips for applications. For this purpose, we believe that the lesson plan examples given in the book for different fields will be a source of inspiration for educators from all fields.
Good reading, with the hope that it will contribute to the growth of new generations that are equipped and qualified in accordance with the requirements of the age...

Halit Keskin, Ali Ekber Akgün, İpek Koçoğlu The book Organization Theory has been written to introduce the discipline of organization theory to the reader, to convey different perspectives, topics and theories in this field, and to create an infrastructure that can evaluate them. In the book, from the 19th century, when modernism, which emerged with the positivist approach in social sciences, shed light on the theory of organization, how the theory of organization developed until the 21st century, when the postmodernist approach was dominant in organization theory, which approaches were dominated by the theory of organization at different times, between approaches. It is aimed to systematically convey to the reader how conflicts are reflected in organizational theory and what difficulties they create in understanding organizations. While explaining how the theory of organization emerged and developed from a historical perspective, the book also aims to illuminate how social change overlaps with developments in other fields of science and its philosophical development as well as chronologically.
For effective learning of organizational theory, the diversity and complex nature of the field must first be acknowledged. Rather than trying to reduce the theory of organization to a single point of view, it is necessary to examine and enrich it within the framework of different perspectives of many paradigms. In this book, the complexity of organizational theory and its relevance to management practices as well as to social life are revealed by critical and distinctive assessments of different approaches, beyond the coherent and complementary explanations brought by the isomorphic approaches in many books to this field. It is aimed to break stereotypes in organizational theory, to prevent analysis based on a single paradigm, to prepare a suitable ground for reflexive thinking that is open to discussion and criticism, and to encourage a supra-paradigmatic understanding. Ultimately, the reader is expected to be able to understand the organization from different perspectives, think critically, move organizational theory beyond existing thought patterns, and develop enriching theoretical dialogues.

Since it is thought that it can make the teaching process more enjoyable and create a basis for the permanence of knowledge, it was deemed appropriate to use intelligence games as a tool in this process. In order to enrich the content of science education teaching, we present our original and scientific book, Science Education and Activity Examples with Intelligence Games for Students with Special Education Needs, as an example to you, our valuable science teachers and education stakeholders.

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…

This has developed somewhat in parallel with the socio-cultural change experienced by societies and people. While the science of psychology that emerged at the beginning of the last century focused mostly on negative behaviors and pathologies, positive psychology that emerged at the beginning of this century focused on seeing the human as a whole and seeing the positive aspects in humans, as well as being necessary for human development and health. The subject of psychology is not only to recognize and understand negativities, but also to recognize and understand the positive characteristics, strengths and values ​​that make people human.
Positive psychology, which first emerged in America, has been accepted all over the world in a short time. In fact, when the concepts of positive psychology are looked at, it can be seen that they come from life and are common in all cultures. Therefore, positive psychology has been applicable to many fields. In this book, you will see how these popular topics apply to different situations and areas we encounter in life. This book it is aimed to be a book that psychologists, psychological counselors, psychiatrists, social workers, people working in the field of mental health and individuals in all occupational groups working with people can read and benefit from. Moreover, it is a book that can be read with pleasure by individuals who want to discover their own feelings, thoughts and values.
Written in a fluent and simple language, the book gives examples and offers alternative book recommendations. For this reason, the book has content that can be used as a textbook or supplementary source at undergraduate and graduate levels.

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.

Fulya Yüksel Şahin What kind of profession is the counseling profession?
What are the psychological counseling process and stages?
What are counseling skills?
What is ethics in the counseling process?
Supervision form prepared according to psychological counseling steps
What is the sample like?
What are the causes, classification, symptoms and treatment of mental disorders?
What are the clues (clues I for referral to the psychiatrist) that might suggest that the client may have a mental disorder?
What are mental disorders (tips for referral to psychiatrist II)?
In this book, where you can find answers to all these questions, the psychological counseling process is discussed in a comprehensive way. In many books written for psychological counselors working in the field of mental health, although it is very important, the dimension of "mental disorders" is generally neglected. However, it is very important for psychological counselors to be able to distinguish well whether their client has a mental disorder or not. For this reason, possible clues and mental disorders that should be known when referring the client to a psychiatrist are mentioned in the book. This book differs from other books in that it talks about mental disorders as well as the psychological counseling process.

İbrahim Ethem Özgüven Parallel to the developments in the world, "psychological tests" in our country started as a "translation" movement of tests developed in other countries at the beginning of the current century, and there was no development effort and effort on the tests. In today's sense, writing, testing, applying, doing item analysis, choosing good questions and preparing the posttest, and conducting validity and reliability studies started in the mid-1950s. In the period since the 1950s, important institutions have been established in the fields of measurement technique, psychological tests and test development in our country.
Increasing demand for tests; It has enabled the rapid development of psychology and the branch of psychological tests in our country compared to other branches. Psychological Tests book; He focused on "test development", "appropriate use of psychological tests and appropriate interpretation of the obtained scores", "introducing psychological tests, especially those found in our country".
This book is about psychological tests in undergraduate and partially graduate programs applied in psychology, psychological counseling, psychiatry, assessment and evaluation, program development, child development and education, vocational and technical education, special education, classroom teaching, social services and other related departments of universities. It has been prepared as a “textbook” that can be read.

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.

Ali Engin Uygur - Hilal Bebek - Resimleyen: Nur Yılmaz The Change Agenda is not an agenda to advise, advise, or incite. Psychotherapy is not! However, while we were preparing this agenda, we took the basic knowledge of psychology and psychotherapy theories as a basis. We aimed to contribute to your reasoning and emotion regulation skills and increase your level of psychological flexibility without overwhelming you with theoretical knowledge, especially by acting on the axis of schools such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapies, Emotion-Focused Therapy, Positive Psychology and Mindfulness.
We have designed the Exchange Agenda, which can be used by students who are busy with the exam, regardless of their group, from secondary education to university, so that you can use it throughout the year. Although our main aim is to provide guidance and support to students who are anxious during exam and performance processes, there are many exercises in this agenda to improve their ability to regulate thoughts, behaviors and emotions.
While working with this agenda, you will be able to improve your skills of "making worry useful" and "increasing tolerance to worry" as well as "reducing anxiety". Therefore, in the Change A genda, you will find sections where you can discover the causes of problems, recognize the factors that trigger negative emotions in your inner and outer world, and develop appropriate strategies for how to regulate them. Come on, come with us to increase your self-confidence and focus on unlocking your true potential!
