Leman Pınar Tosun Digital social networks are playing an increasing role in interpersonal communication. Thanks to this environment, we can easily open ourselves to others whenever we want, and we can present ourselves to them as we wish. We can reconnect with friends we lost track of, and when we need social support and urgent information, sometimes we can reach them through social networks in the easiest and fastest way. On the other hand, there are many complaints about social networks that cannot be ignored. It is claimed that social networks harm our privacy and create security problems, cause us to present ourselves to others as someone we are not with our false selves, create an environment where trust and intimacy cannot develop between people, bring depression and unhappiness... The list of complaints goes on and on. In short, in our daily life, "good luck with social media!" We often hear the cries of "no way social media".
This book has been written to provide information and insights that can put all these heated debates about what social networks bring us and what they take from us, on calm and cool ground. The science of social psychology was chosen as a guide to understanding human behavior in social networks. This science offers various perspectives to analyze human relations, which until recently generally flourished in face-to-face environments, but now it is possible to flourish and maintain in digital environments as well. I hope this book, which compiles studies on human behavior in social networks from a social psychological perspective, will contribute to the broadening of readers' views on the subject and deepening their understanding.

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.

Füsun Ekşi, Halil Ekşi, Haşan Kütük, Merve Nurlu, Özlem Acar Bulut, Sinan Okur, Şeyda Çetintaş, Tuğba Turgut, Zehranur Akbulut Spiritual or religious orientation in human life, along with many factors such as family characteristics, social environment, cultural context; it affects how individuals perceive and make sense of themselves, the events around them and the world, and also shapes the thoughts, feelings and behaviors of individuals. spiritual/religious beliefs and practices; it nurtures and connects families and communities, promotes recovery in times of crisis, and fosters resilience through prolonged adversity. In this respect, the fact that spiritual orientation constitutes an important part of clients and is an important component that should be emphasized in the therapy process has an undeniable potential. Although spiritual orientation is integrated into individual counseling approaches, it also appears as a very supportive element in the family therapy process. The necessity of family therapy comes to the fore when the family is the first environment in which people are born, the vital role and importance of family characteristics, upbringing styles, traditionally transferred values, communication and interactions within the family in the development of individuals and being psychologically healthy individuals. Spiritually oriented practices seem to be quite functional when dealing with problems in family members and family system. In this sense, spiritually oriented practices are needed in family therapy processes to be carried out with clients and family members who position their religious-spiritual dimensions at an important point in their lives and want them to be addressed in psychotherapy processes. In this context, this book primarily aims to provide a spiritually oriented perspective on basic family therapy theories, and then aims to make various contributions to theory and practice by providing a spiritually oriented perspective on many situations that can be experienced in the family. The book, which aims to shed light on the spiritual dimension of family therapy for individuals and specialists working in the field of mental health, especially PDR and Psychology, is enriched with practices and case examples.

It is thought that this book will meet an important need such as intervention techniques, which is very important for family therapists who work with and provide counseling services to families in our country.

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.

Muzaffer Çetingüç Nobody thinks of reducing aviation to engineering and technique by considering it as consisting of the engine power and aerodynamic structures of aircraft. But in practice, these technical issues always come to the fore; the person running or using them stays in the background. Books dealing with aviation psychology and the human factor in accidents generally try to show where people stand in the system and how important they are in aviation. In this book, it has been tried to emphasize the "indispensable" role of man with his physiological system and psychological mechanisms.
In our age where unmanned aerial vehicles are becoming more and more widespread, it seems as if the human being is disabled, but it is necessary to see that behind all automation, computer and remote guidance systems, the human and his psychology occupy the most important position as a decision maker. One of the aims of this book, which is the first of its kind in Turkish, is to systematize scattered information about aviation psychology and make it a compact file, and another is to raise awareness of where human psychology can lead to flight, not only to flight doctors, flight psychologists and flight safety officers, but also to the aviators themselves. It also aims to provide an information infrastructure on its own subject and to shed some light on the unknowns of human beings.

Ceren Hıdıroğlu Ongun, Derya Hasta, Duygu Güngör, E. Helin Yaban, Ebru Akün, Gökçe Karayeğen Balent, Gözde Kıral Uçar, M. Burcu Balçıklı, Markus M. Müller, Meral Gezici Yalçın, Özgen Yalçın, Pelin Karakuş Akalın This book provides readers with a comprehensive resource on the relationship between man and the natural environment and the psychological factors underlying environmental behavior, accompanied by scientific findings and examples from daily life.

Can Çalıcı, Cihat Yaşaroğlu, Erkin Sarı, Ferhat Arı, Gülten Ünal, Hilal Peker, Hüccet Vural, M. Fatih Bükün, Mert Aytaç, Musa Bozkurt, Ömer Çamur, Sebur Kapu, Üzeyir Kement Although studies have been carried out for more than a century in the field of "Environmental Psychology", which examines the mutual relationship between man and his natural and built environment, it has been about 60 years that the field emerged as a discipline. While we sometimes exhibit environmentally friendly behaviors in our interaction with the environment, we sometimes exhibit behaviors that harm the environment. In an area where human behavior is so important, we can say that Environmental Psychology is one of the most important disciplines we will apply to understand the behavior of individuals regarding the environment.
In human-environment interaction, we can sometimes see the damage we do to the environment without being a subject matter expert. For example, the closure of people in their homes at the beginning of the Pandemic period, which has made its impact felt all over the world as in our country since 2019, almost caused the revival of nature. We saw flowers bloom on the streets, in the streets, in places with heavy human circulation before. However, with the removal of the restriction, the signs of our going out into nature began to be visible again. We have now added masks and gloves to the objects that we used to throw on the ground (!) before. Formerly “Please do not throw garbage!” next to the warnings “Please do not throw masks!” It looks like the warnings will be added as well. These and similar events, which most of us have witnessed or somehow learned from the press, give clues about the human-nature relationship and also reveal the importance of environmental behavior.
This work named Introduction to Environmental Psychology; It will be an important resource for researchers doing postgraduate research, students taking environmental courses at undergraduate and postgraduate level, and all curious readers and researchers who care about the "environment", which is vital for human beings. We also consider this work as a start and hope that it will be instrumental in other studies that will contribute to the field.

Barbaros Yalçın, Mehmet Ak, Mehmet Kavaklı, Şahin Kesici Addiction is affecting our lives like a growing monster. There is no one in our family who can say that it does not happen. What are the types of addictions? How do cigarette, alcohol, substance and internet addiction develop? Even if you control the family, it is difficult to control the school, dormitory, neighborhood, friends, in short, the environment. Is it preventable? Yeah. How? How will we protect our children, what are our duties? These are the questions many parents seek answers to. So what will the parents do? What will they not do? We tried to produce a work that could answer these questions of parents and guide parents in crisis situations. The idea for this book was born when the paths of experts from different fields who work with substance addicts in their professional practice crossed in a project for substance addicts. During the project process, interviews were held with many drug addicts and their families. Internet addicted individuals were supported. Cognitive-behavioral-based group and individual therapy sessions were conducted. The experiences gained were filtered through the examination of scientific publications and works, and were compiled into a book in an understandable language with the aim of guidance. The main purpose of this book you hold in your hands is to increase the awareness of you, parents, by revealing the effects of the attitudes and behaviors of parents or other family members on the perception of self and the outside world formed in the world of children and young people, and how these increase their addiction potential, and by revealing concrete events in this process. .

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.

However, it has been observed that there has been a rapid increase in extraordinary events in recent years.

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.

Alagün Belce Bahşi, Nilüfer Özkan, Nur İnci, Neslihan Zabcı, Pelinsu Bulut, Gülgün Uzunoğlu Azman, Sevim Berin İnci İzmir, Eda Yardımcı What was childhood trauma? Could the traumas experienced in the early period continue their effects throughout life? Well, what could a child have experienced that would cause his life to lose all its colors?
In this book, which aims to shed light on the bitter darkness of all these questions, you will encounter the stories of eight little children. You will witness how some people lost all their colors in their safe harbor, some on their birthday, which they waited for a whole year, in the darkness of a rough night that some never expected, and how some people lost all their colors in a hug they embraced with love and trust. Then how those disappearing colors blend into each other and turn into darkness...
Well, is it possible to strike a match into this deep darkness? Can this darkness be lit up a little bit? Is there a time to illuminate these deep darkness in which we are lost? But what about a way to regain all lost colors?
Another purpose of this book, while answering all these questions, is to introduce the reader to psychotherapy interventions that can be applied in the early trauma process, and to raise awareness of how these interventions contribute to the trauma process, and to convey the process of reprocessing each lost color into the child's psyche.

Emre Ulaş Özdal Albert Einstein said, “Learning is experience. Everything else is just information.” His word supported and encouraged me to transform my knowledge into experience, enabling me to understand the importance of experience in the learning processes I have been involved in throughout my life.
At every stage of human life, he learns by experiencing everything and directs his life accordingly. "In this life, the highest and most honorable experience should be to leave artifacts to the world we live in that future generations can benefit from." With that in mind, I decided to write this book.
The purpose of this book; Adhering to the philosophy of "Live to explore, be open to learning!" is to offer the Experiential Learning model that can be a solution to learning, training and development strategies at all stages of life. The basic philosophy in Experiential Learning is that "Learning has no place, time, age, or end, learning can only be done by living". and it will be realized effectively by experience”.
This book; It provides principles for the empowerment of all vital universes in individuals' learning processes with experiential learning methods and gives information and examples on how experiential learning can be applied with curriculum development, individual development, academic research and institutional development programs as well as its contributions to individuals' learning processes.

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.

This book, which is a candidate to guide the curious about attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, actually allows us to meet a multi-layered public health problem. The reason why it is different from other books written on this subject so far is hidden in the way it deals with the subject. 96 scientists from 23 different professions tried to embrace today's most common neuropsychiatric disorder by signing 86 chapters. The purpose of this meeting is to draw a general framework for the most common neurodevelopmental problem of childhood, to turn "different" perspectives into "normal". This transdisciplinary meeting is never to reject and/or reduce the problem, but to create a roadmap to use all available resources effectively while struggling with a multi-layered situation.

Nurten Gökalp Efforts to explain human as a sentient being in philosophy are highly controversial. Because the idea that man is an intelligent being has always been considered important and his feelings have not been taken into account. Although mind and emotion are two different dimensions of the same person, the relationship between them has often been evaluated as a contrasting relationship. However, the human mind and emotions are creatures that cannot be denied.
With this book, whose aim is to evaluate the subject based on the remarkable emotional views of philosophers in the history of philosophy from antiquity to the present, it is aimed to create a philosophical view of emotion. It is aimed to contribute to studies that will draw attention to the emotional dimension of human beings.

Fatma Gül Cirhinlioğlu Emotions that add color to our experiences play a very important role in our lives because they have very important functions. Emotions have individual functions, such as helping us act quickly with minimal thinking, preparing our bodies for immediate action, influencing our thoughts, and motivating us to act. Emotional expressions; It also has interpersonal functions such as facilitating certain behaviors for the perceiver, providing information about the nature of interpersonal relationships, and regulating social interaction. On the other hand, our culturally shaped emotions help us orient ourselves towards socially appropriate behaviors defined by our culture.

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.
