Lütfi Sunar What is social change?
How do societies change?
What are the main theories explaining change?
What are the main dynamics of change in Turkey?

Social change is a fundamental field that concerns all subjects, concepts and theories of sociology. From the beginning to the present, many explanations about change have emerged in the sociology literature. Understanding the accumulation of these explanations is very important for a sociology student. Understanding change is essential for analyzing the workings of society.
Turkey's social structure is in a rapid and permanent change. Comprehensive and sustained research and new perspectives are needed to understand and explain this change. However, social change has not attracted much attention from sociology in Turkey. The number of theoretical studies, conceptual studies and empirical researches in the field is very few. This work in your hand was written within the scope of Social Structure Research Program to fill such a gap.
This book, which consists of 16 chapters, examines the concepts, theories and approaches related to change in sociology. The topics covered in this book, which is also designed as a textbook, are handled simply and expanded with examples. With the concept explanations, biographies and reading passages added to the chapters, the flow of the book is tried to be relaxed and different windows are opened in the mind of the reader.

This process it means not only the change in bureaucratic structuring, but also the involvement of actors other than the public in the delivery of social services. These actors; private sector, local governments and non-governmental organizations. Undoubtedly, in this new era, the importance of the family as the main pillar of social solidarity continues.
This book discusses the transformation in social services in the context of different welfare regimes on the axis of disadvantaged groups (children, elderly, disabled, women, immigrants, LGBT individuals, different ethnic-cultural groups, human trafficking victims). Undoubtedly, every disadvantaged group has problems in many areas from employment to increasing the quality of life, education and health services. This study deals with different disadvantaged groups as the main issue of social policy within the framework of the interest of social services and includes specific discussions for each group.

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.

Üzeyir Ok, Zümrüt Gedik, Zehra Erşahin 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.

The increase in the elderly population has necessitated the diversification of services for this population. Economic, psychological, social and health-related changes and problems in the life of the elderly person affect not only the elderly but also those living with them. As a result, it is necessary to carry out various studies by adopting different approaches to the problems that individuals are likely to encounter from the adult years. Based on this need, in the book "Group Programs for Individuals in Middle and Advanced Adulthood", programs and therapeutic content are planned for solving problems that can be experienced from adulthood on. The book you are reviewing is designed to consist of four functional parts. In the first part of the book, “social issues in middle and advanced adulthood” are mentioned. In this section, sessions that support communication skills, provide informative counseling, psychoeducational, life-cycle-based group therapy, adapt to menopause and andropause period, career planning in advanced adulthood, social life skills after retirement and make effective use of free time are planned. In the second part, group sessions based on cognitive-behavioral, psychoeducational, narrative therapy and mindfulness-based techniques were developed, addressing the process of “adapting to the changing cycle in advanced adulthood” under the headings of adapting to changing roles, empty nest syndrome, adaptation to second marriage, and developing grandparenting skills. In the third part, under the title of “psychological support for special groups in advanced adulthood”, psychological support groups are planned for people who are in need of special care, who are responsible for caring for the disabled and those with Alzheimer's disease, and who have adult patients in intensive care, and it is aimed to protect the mental health of individuals living with these special groups. In the fourth part, group studies supported by cognitive behavioral, expressive, humanistic and spiritual approaches were prepared for individuals who are trying to provide "psychological support to individuals in advanced adulthood" and who are trying to cope with depression, fear of death and the grieving process.
We hope that the “Group Programs for Individuals in Middle and Advanced Adults” book, which is supported by enjoyable and practical exercises, will be a resource that can be easily used by those who volunteer to support individuals in their old age.

Salih Güney 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.

Health professionals should know how to communicate with patients/clients and their relatives while evaluating patients/clients; It is very important for the individuals with whom they communicate to realize that they are also human beings with their own values and feelings. This book will be a guide for healthcare professionals and students, who are future healthcare professionals, to develop their therapeutic communication skills by approaching their patients/clients with a holistic perspective.

Velittin Kalınkara Our elderly world has also started to age demographically. Although the phenomenon of aging is mostly accepted as a problem of developed countries, it is now an issue that should be emphasized as much as developed countries. Since the beginning of the twentieth century, there has been a significant increase in the number and proportion of the elderly as a result of the improvement of health conditions, decrease in fertility and increase in quality of life with the effect of industrialization. This increase; It has caused rapid and important changes in family and community life, changed social institutions, behavior and values, and affected the status and functions of the elderly. In this process, while the family structure and social structure changed, the readiness of the family and the institutions did not change in the same direction. While the improvement of living conditions ensures longevity, the economic, social and health-related problems of longevity are generally ignored.
This book will be useful for individuals to equip themselves with basic information about aging and to develop an attitude towards solving problems. It is a source book especially for academicians working in health and social fields, students studying in the field and those who are interested in the subject.

In the book, femicide has been discussed from various aspects, and the subject has been tried to be examined from perspectives such as social work, sociology, psychology, forensic sciences and religious sciences. Of course, we are aware that it is difficult to explain a very important issue such as femicide in a book with all its aspects, but we have done this study hoping that this work will be a start in order to increase the number of studies in this direction.
The book is dedicated to all women in Turkey, whose names are unknown and who fell victim to male terror for various reasons, along with symbolic names such as Emine Yılmaz, Özgecan Aslan, Güldunya Ceremony and Ayşe Paşalı. We hope that this book will be useful to all people working in the field, especially decision makers, and thus contribute to the prevention of femicide.

Although the World Health Organization (WHO) considers those over the age of 65 to be elderly, all individuals in old age do not constitute a homogeneous group. In other words, each elderly person may have different needs or occupations. In this sense, elderly care is a special concept that requires a holistic approach. With the increasing elderly population, elderly care has become a very important concept.
The increase in the proportion of the elderly in the total population means that the number of elderly individuals in need of professional care also increases. In this context, the need for personnel who will serve as intermediate staff has increased as well as physicians / nurses who can provide professional treatment and care for the elderly.
In addition to the definitions of the elderly and old age, this book contains the basic concepts in elderly care and is a source book on the care of the elderly. Hoping to be a guide in the care of the elderly…

While increasing life expectancy and lowering birth rates are considered great achievements in modern science and health care, their significant impact on future generations is underrated. No matter how long we live, it becomes necessary for every country to rethink and restructure its social and economic institutions in order to ensure the well-being of individuals when working life ends. The aging of societies can affect economic growth and the sustainability of families, the ability of states and societies to provide resources for older people, and many other issues, including international relations. Despite scientific evidence, the importance and global implications of population aging are not yet fully understood. There is a need to raise awareness not only of global aging issues, but also of the importance of rigorous international scientific research and policy dialogue to help us respond to the challenges and opportunities of an aging world.
This book paints a picture of the impact of the aging population on the economy, society, family and environment. We hope this book, consisting of twenty chapters and contributed by 32 authors, will encourage you to identify the best ways to address dialogue, international studies, and the universal human experience about work, economics, family, communication, landscaping, and behavioral issues. We believe that scientists and every member of the society will be inspired by these suggestions and experiences in planning our own future, the aging and aging policies of the world societies and our country.
