Prof. Dr. Nevzat Tarhan Drew Attention to Positive Psychology-Based Projects
Psychiatrist Prof. Dr. Nevzat Tarhan wished success to project owners and provided information about projects conducted in the field of positive psychology. Tarhan emphasized the importance of preventative approaches for disease prevention; “What can be done to prevent people from getting sick? Positive psychotherapy covers treatment and recovery areas. Primary prevention, secondary prevention – which is the identification of risk groups – and tertiary prevention, which we call REHAKOR studies aimed at preventing disease recurrence, play an important role. Especially in addictions and suicide attempts, the creation of self-safety plans can be evaluated within this scope. All these studies are carried out with various projects. With the declaration of the ‘Family Year’, our project is also ready to take its place among the projects implemented throughout Turkey.” he said.
