Prof. Nevzat Tarhan: “Positive feelings helps immune system”
President of Üsküdar University Nevzat Tarhan expressed that the biggest obstacle is the psychological obstacle. Prof. Tarhan said: “These works created a great empathy in students. Taking stories from their families, making them heard and carrying out that within a project give them feeling of success. It also has a positive impact of children. This feeling of ‘I won, I succeed.’ is a positive feeling. Positive feelings help and boost immune system. Succeeding a positive goal also reduce their stress. When we approach with exaggerated reactions to those having a certain obstacle, we lose them. You cannot communicate with them. That’s why we say do not interfere with disablement, privacy and their sacred values. It is their privacy. If everybody asks about their disablement every time, it means they heard it thousand times before. The biggest obstacle is a psychological obstacle. What restrains them is the psychological obstacle. Every individual has a different life story to involve in social life. All of them is a story of success.”.
“All sciences are part of a whole.”

They are part of a whole. This holistic approach in science has been for about 20 years.”
