“At first it was thought to be life coaching and personal development…”
In the program broadcast live on ÜÜTV, Congress President and Üsküdar University Founding Rector Prof. Dr. Nevzat Tarhan stated that positive psychology was initially thought to be life coaching and personal development and was asked about its theoretical basis and said, "The theoretical foundations of positive psychology are based on neuroscience." said. Prof. noted that he wrote books on preventive mental health in the 2000s because there was a paradigm shift in medicine. Dr. Tarhan said, “The most important thing in the changing paradigm in health is; protection of health.” he said. Pointing out the importance of working to prevent people from getting sick, Tarhan said, “Primary protection is to protect health so that the society does not get sick. Secondary prevention is to identify risk groups, diagnose risk groups early and include them in treatment. "After treatment, tertiary prevention is also working to prevent recurrence..." he said.
"Instead of creating wounds in traumas, the era of how to treat trauma without causing wounds has emerged..."
Prof. noted that the method of treating wounds without causing wounds has become ideal in medicine. Dr. Tarhan: “What is the equivalent of treating without causing wounds in psychiatry? In psychoanalysis, we delve into a person's childhood. Some problems are taken and brought to this day. The person becomes an enemy to his mother and father. When the trauma cannot be resolved, more noisy situations may occur. In many cases, the unnecessary descent into childhood has passed. The era of medicine that respects people's traumas has begun. Instead of revealing the traumas and opening the wound, how can it be treated without opening the wound? This period emerged.” he explained. Stating that the ideal treatment is treatment without interfering with the person's traumas, Prof. Dr. Tarhan said that by strengthening the positive, the negative can be corrected.

'Neuroscience-based positive psychotherapy' was prepared
Explaining that they conducted a 2-year study on positive psychotherapy and determined a 12-week, 6-hour "Neuroscience-based positive psychotherapy", Tarhan stated that they prepared a neurobiofeedback method that shows that whichever part of the brain is strengthened, the person can overcome the disease. Tarhan stated that protocols were created for stress management, aggression, autism, attention deficit and the person was taught the ability to remain calm under stress, and thus the person learned to manage his brain. Prof. also stated that the training of trainers on this subject will begin in September-October next year. Dr. Tarhan also explained that a new option will be offered for those who want to use positive psychology in therapy, so that there will be a method suitable for our own values, our own thought habits and culture.
Students who took the course say that this course touched their souls.
Tarhan also said that they developed benevolence and malevolence scales, also emphasized the cultural aspect of positive psychology and noted that the students who took the first course in 2013 stated that this course touched their souls. Prof. Dr. Tarhan stated that the Science of Happiness book, which was published as a supplementary textbook for 9th grade high school students, would be useful for counselors and explained that this book, which is a guide for high school students to improve themselves, aims to strengthen the positive.
Prof. Dr. Nazife Güngör: “While the world is going worse and negative in many ways, we want to slow down the process with positive touches and contribute to its improvement.”

“As Üsküdar University, we are happy to touch different subjects, handle science from different aspects and add many different touches to education. Maybe this is our difference. I evaluate the training we provide within the scope of positive psychology and the scientific activities we carry out in this context. While the world is going worse and negative in many ways, we want to slow down this process a little and contribute to its improvement with positive touches. We had such a goal when we decided to take the positive psychology course. We have positive psychology courses in all departments of our university. We didn't stop there, we also wanted to have a scientific activity. While we were explaining positive psychology to our students in classrooms, we also wanted to have a broad scientific platform on this subject. We have created an environment for scientific discussion, starting first at the national level and then spreading to the international level, and we have started to host it. “We want to contribute whatever we can to the course of humanity and the betterment of the world, and we will continue to do so.”
