Deniz Altınay Being in the moment is completely different from living in the moment. While living in the moment comes across as escape, denial and unhealthy, being in the moment is catching the spirit of time with deep and mutual interaction. The moment is the only time we have and if we are not in it we could be losing a lot in our life. The past, the future, or both may have captured us. In this case, salvation may be based on understanding the philosophy of the moment and trying to get into the present and be a part of the moment. This book has been prepared to open the doors of this process to you. Awareness is everything, knowing and not knowing are not the same. You control what you know, and what you don't know controls you.

Zeynep Balcı Create a break in your life, give yourself breathing space. Because “Life is all about this moment!”

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.
