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.

Durmuş Ümmet Being human or being alive means producing solutions to the inevitable problems in life. A person encounters many difficulties in life from the moment they come into the world. We have two ways of thinking about the difficulties we encounter: either we focus on what the problem is, why it happens, in other words, on its details, or we focus on how the problem can be eliminated and how to cope with it. Which one we focus on is related to our thinking habits. Thinking in the first way makes a person realize the details of the problem, which draws the person more into the problem. Thinking in the second way makes a person realize the solutions to the problem, which mobilizes them for change. As in Frederick Langbridge's words, "The world is as people see it: Of two people looking through the same window, one sees mud; the other sees stars." The short-term solution-focused approach is an approach that focuses on making the client realize what the solutions may be about instead of thinking about the details of the problem. In this book; information about the basic philosophy, principles, working methods, techniques used and different areas of use of the solution-focused counseling approach has been conveyed. In addition, each proposition regarding the approach has been tried to be concretized with case examples. The aim of the book is to contribute to field workers on the one hand and academic studies on the other.

Hatice Topçu Ersoy Narcissism appears in many areas of our lives today. In close relationships, in professional
settings, and in social life, we frequently encounter self-centered individuals. With the modern
world’s growing “me first” mentality, this reality has become even more visible.
Given these facts, it is important to acknowledge that a life completely free from narcissistic
relationships is simply not possible. We must learn to live with self-focused
individuals—sometimes under the same roof, in the same workplace, and in the same world.
The solution is not to run away but to understand; not to label but to cultivate empathy; not to
fight but to set healthy boundaries; and most importantly, not to ignore but to focus on
transforming problematic patterns of communication.
Enriched with case examples drawn from therapeutic experience, insight-building exercises,
and practical communication strategies, this book is written to help you maintain healthy

relationships with the self-centered individuals in your life—without falling into blame,
without burning out, and with increasing awareness and strength.
