Prof. Nevzat Tarhan drew attention to positive psychology-based projects
Psychiatrist Prof. Nevzat Tarhan wished success to the project owners and provided information about the projects carried out in the field of positive psychology. Emphasizing the importance of preventive approaches for disease prevention, Tarhan made the following remarks: “What can be done to keep people from becoming ill? Positive psychotherapy covers areas of treatment and recovery. Primary prevention, secondary prevention, which involves identifying risk groups, and tertiary prevention, which aims to prevent the recurrence of disease, are all important components of the REHAKOR studies. The development of self-safety plans in cases of addiction and suicide attempts can be evaluated within this scope. All these efforts are being conducted through various projects. With the announcement of the ‘Year of the Family,’ our project is also ready to be implemented among those launched across Türkiye.”
