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.

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.

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.

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.

“Sometimes speaking the same language is not enough, it is also necessary to understand from the same place.” T. S. Eliot
Communication and psychology are two intertwined concepts. Two basic building blocks that people act involuntarily wherever and with anyone: communication and psychology. When we say human, we are not talking about a species that has evolved within its own species, can use advanced tools, can laugh, think, and has its own culture and language. We're also talking about a complex brain with emotions and the behavioral patterns it guides us through. We interpret, perceive and compare. While doing all these, we feel, affect and be affected. Sometimes we put them on the tongue, sometimes on the body. But somehow we show it anyway. Understanding the person or the other in a constant struggle of self-expression... This book; He talks about the intersections of communication and psychology, the psychological foundations of communication, personality traits, perception, empathy, culture, communication with others, films that reflect us, and family communication. It examines the communication process that the individual establishes with himself and others through what we feel and perceive. It gives clues that healthy communication in the fiction of life will not occur independently of psychology. This book, which we have realized with young academician friends, is actually a processual synthesis of the communication that a person establishes with himself and others. Communication psychology is the search for a meaning to our existence. In the hope that you will accompany us on this path where we seek the meaning of the whole of which we are a part...

Good and evil… This opposition, which manifests itself in many fields from antiquity to the present, from art to literature, from philosophy to everyday language, is rarely on our agenda with its objective reality.

Maus said, “You can be very wealthy; You can have countless jewels, cubes of gold. You may be wealthier than I will ever be, but I know someone who tells me stories.” says. Since we believe that knowing someone who tells stories is richness, we have told you stories by different authors who are close to us and full of emotions. “The repertoire of anecdotes and aphorisms is the greatest treasure to the well-mannered; if he knows how to use the former in his conversations when appropriate, and to remember the latter when appropriate.” says Goethe. We also presented you with plenty of anecdotes and aphorisms. As Huxley defines; experience does not mean something that happens to a person. Experience means how a person copes with what happens to him. We all have and will have negative experiences in our life journey. By accepting experiences such as death, illness and loss, we tried to offer the tips of growing with patience and courage, by noticing our feelings such as grief, anger and anxiety that guide change. We have combined our experiences and experiences from our clients with our knowledge and conveyed them in a plain language. Hope it is useful…

The reality underlying the success of organizations in today's globalization process is organizational internal effectiveness and efficiency. Because in difficult market conditions, organizations can continue their existence as long as they keep efficiency and productivity at high levels. The basic key to bringing efficiency and productivity to the desired levels is to know the "organizational structure" well.
Organizational behavior becoming a scientific discipline is very recent. However, the basic subject of organizational behavior, the human being and his productive work is very old. The interest of all scientists working on the organization has always focused on people and their efficiency.
People take part in an organizational structure at a certain period of their lives. The existence of people in organizational life depends on their success. This is closely related to the personal development of people. In this direction, Behavioral Sciences and Organizational Behavior trainings gain importance.
This book, whose chapter titles and topics were chosen primarily based on the needs of those who aim to be successful in business life, enables individuals to take a closer look at themselves and their business lives.

Organizational behavior is to understand the behavior of people working in the organization, both as individuals and as group members, so that organizations can be managed effectively. Understanding behaviors and their causes is important because it allows managers to predict the future behavior of individuals, to direct and control them in line with the goals of the organization. This book has been prepared with the development of the book called Organization and Human, which was written to provide both theoretical information and guidance on what can be done in practice for people who are candidates for management, but is completely exhausted.
For this purpose, the book consists of two parts: Organization and individual. In the part of the organization, the definition of the organization is given and the studies that require the definition of the organization as a socio-technical system are included, the interaction between the organization, the environment, technology and the organizational structure and its relations with the working individuals are mentioned.
In the individual part, first of all, the individual differences that make a person special as someone working in the organization are discussed. It has been tried to explain the formation of the personality traits of the individual and the factors affecting it, the learning process that has an important effect on his personality, the effect of what he has learned on his attitudes and how they shape his perception, and finally what causes his behavior.
Individuals may behave differently as a group member than when they are alone. Since the employees in organizations have to be in at least one work group, the behavior of the individual in the group has been tried to be explained, so that the people who will be managers are given theoretical and practical information about how they should manage individuals as a group member. In this section, it has been tried to convey information to the manager candidates about establishing a healthy communication, motivating the employees correctly, leading them effectively, explaining the reasons for the conflicts and stress they experience and how they can cope with it.

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.
The education of gifted and talented students, or as it has been called until today, is an area that has been known for a long time and is being developed. However, most of the studies carried out in our country focus mainly on meeting the educational needs of gifted children.

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…

The effort to test different aspects of the psychological functions of events and situations is an important subject of contemporary psychology. 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.

Quantitative data analysis is an important part of scientific research methods in psychology. One of the consequences of this situation is that the research design used during scientific studies in psychology determines which technique will be used to analyze the data obtained. From this point of view, all statistical analyzes in this book are handled together with the research design and measurement level they are related to.
The research examples and the topics covered in the book have been determined in accordance with the terminology that psychologists encounter in research methods, statistics and experimental psychology courses throughout their education. In order to increase clarity, the statistical analyzes in the book are handled through sample data files that the reader can download from the relevant web page. In addition, each analysis is supported by an example of an APA style report.
Considering the topics it covers, it is thought that the book is suitable both for those who are just starting to use SPSS and for researchers with SPSS experience. Therefore, the book is a helpful resource for both students and researchers in scientific research projects, research methods courses, and computer-applied statistics courses.

"This book; It consists of studies that uniquely address issues that have emerged as a result of several centuries of theoretical and empirical discoveries, contradictions and even tides in the history of psychology. The articles in the book show how wide the conceptualization level of psychology is, from the gene/environment interaction that largely determines our lives to the perception in the social environment. In addition, the book covers techniques ranging from animal models to MRI and EEG, and explains how and why psychology research has benefited from these methods. Apart from this scope and original content, another aspect that makes this book valuable is that it is in Turkish. Unfortunately, the dominance of English and its universality as the language of science brings with it the publication and dissemination of most of the researches in this language. Although the existence and prevalence of a lingua franca is important because it enables all scientists in the world to agree with each other, it is obvious that Turkish must be a scientific language and a means of communication. For this reason, I hope that this book will be an encouraging factor for young scientists to bring their ideas and products into our language.”

Social science studies, whose focus is human, focus on how individuals make sense of events, interpret them and how they are affected by them. Qualitative research methods are one of the most effective ways to study this subject in depth.
Qualitative research methods are very important scientific research methods that have been preferred more frequently by researchers in recent times, both in terms of working directly with the person in their own language and not denying the potential effect of the researcher on the process. In qualitative studies, the goal is not to determine the truth or falsity of predetermined hypotheses, but to gather in-depth information about why and how experiences affect individuals. Within the framework of this basic stance, qualitative research has different methods, and each method has its own goal and analysis methodology. In this book, these methods are presented to the reader in detail in different chapters, by dealing with all the subtleties within the framework of both the purpose of the research and the ways to be followed according to the method used, and exemplified within the framework of studies in the field of psychology.

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.

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.

Psychotherapy is a remarkable field that has remained a mystery since the past. Many different views have been put forward for many years and have led to heated debates about this field, which is of interest to many professions such as psychiatry, social services, psychiatric nursing, psychological counseling and guidance, especially clinical psychologists; in fact, millions of scientific studies have been carried out on this subject so far.
