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.

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.

Fatih Yavuz, Kadir Özdel, Levent Sütçigil, M. 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.

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…

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.

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…
