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.

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.

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…
