Abstract:

Traumatic experience changes health, relation patterns and conflict reactions. Threatening events can cause desperation and can profoundly damage personality structure capacities and bonding qualities like trust. A structured process of treatment back to confidence and a balanced everyday life starting with stabilization phases, leading to integration is described.

Abstract:

The purpose of the following work is to introduce the tool of the Multisensory Balance Model. The tool was created by combining the strategies and structure presented in PPT and knowledge about the impact of sensory interactions on the psychotherapy process. The combination of knowledge and techniques from Positive Psychotherapy (Balance Model, capacities, and conflicts), as well as art therapy and neuroscience, has created a tool that enables an experienced therapist to work across multiple sensory channels. The combination of different structures, materials, weights, and colours stimulates the imagination and enables the discovery of new meanings for both the patient and therapist. In the following study, we present the main assumptions of the project, its appearance, as well as a description of the possibilities and doubts related to the use of the tool. We also present potential areas in which the use of the tool could be beneficial and enriching for the psychotherapy process. We also demonstrate how to integrate knowledge from the field of Positive Psychotherapy with the characteristic work methods of art therapy.

Abstract:

Ruh sağlığı alanında yapılan çalışmalarda kullanımının pratik oluşu ve pek çok soruna

yönelik etkili çözümler bulunmasında yardımcı olan teknikleri sayesinde Pozitif Psikoterapi

günümüzde sıklıkla kullanılan psikoterapi kuramlarından biridir. Pozitif Psikoterapi kuramında

bireylerin var olan yetenekleri arasında bir kıyaslama yapılmakta böylece hangi yeteneğin birey

tarafından daha az veya fazla kullanıldığı tespit edilip çeşitli teknikler aracılığıyla dengelenmeleri

sağlanmaktadır. Bu dengenin sağlanmasında birey aktif bir şekilde rol oynamakta ve sorunun

çözümünde büyük bir yol kat etmektedir. Bu çalışmada Pozitif Psikoterapi yapıları ile beliren

yetişkinlerin mutluluk düzeyleri arasındaki ilişki incelenmektedir. Araştırmanın çalışma grubunu

18-31 yaş aralığında olan 159 kadın (%79,5) ve 41 erkek (%21,5) oluşturmaktadır. Araştırmada

test edilecek verilerin toplanmasında “Pozitif Psikoterapi ve Aile Terapisi Envanteri” ile “Oxford

Mutluluk Ölçeği” kullanılmıştır. Elde edilen veriler çoklu regresyon analizi tekniği kullanılarak

test edilmiştir. Verilerin test edilmesi sonucunda; beliren yetişkinlerin pozitif psikoterapi

yapılarında birincil yeteneklerinden zaman ve sabır ile ikincil yeteneklerinden düzen arasında

anlamlı farklılık olduğu gözlemlenmiştir. Bu sonuç ile beliren yetişkinlerin birincil (sabır ve

zaman) ve ikincil (düzen) yeteneklerini dengeli kullanması halinde hayatlarında karşılaştıkları

sorunların çözümlenmesine yardımcı olduğu ve dolayısıyla onları mutlu etmekte etkili olduğu

sonucuna ulaşılmıştır

Abstract:

The death of a psychotherapy school founder offers unique insights into the relationship between theoretical constructs and lived experience. Dr. Nossrat Peseschkian, founder of Positive Psychotherapy, died peacefully in his sleep on April 27, 2010, at his home in Wiesbaden (Germany)—a death that reflected his Baha’i convictions, Balance Model, and transcultural life approach in a remarkable way. This study is based on personal conversations with Dr. Nossrat Peseschkian between 2003 and 2010, as well as an extensive interview with his son Dr. Hamid Peseschkian after his father’s death. The study suggests that Peseschkian’s dying was neither accidental nor purely biological, but probably represented the completion of a consciously lived life philosophy.

Abstract:

This article aims to demonstrate and emphasise the body’s importance and influence in creating and maintaining balance across the four aspects of daily life outlined in Positive Psychotherapy. The content is based on the methodology and concepts developed by the founder, Nossrat Peseschkian. It is complemented by other psychoanalytic, psychodynamic, humanistic, and integrative approaches that highlight the body as a key element.
This article is divided into two parts. The first part explains the theoretical concept of the body, including its history, importance, and influence in psychotherapy, and connects it to other psychotherapeutic approaches. The second part discusses recent neuroscience findings on the body’s role and impact, supported by examples from clinical practice. A special focus in the second part is on a personal approach used in both clinical practice and education, emphasizing personal self-development with students (participants) by integrating the body across the four aspects of the balance model.

Abstract:

Due to the fourth industrial revolution employees in high-risk environments are confronted with increasing complexity and thus, the need to make ever greater and faster adaptations. As a consequence, the importance of efficient and safe human-machine interactions – in other words, human factors – is constantly growing. In this context, one skill is becoming increasingly relevant: resilience. This ability to react appropriately in difficult situations, recognize mistakes and ‘bounce back’ from adverse or altering circumstances, increasing challenges and possible setbacks is of enormous value, especially for employees in high-risk environments. The basic prerequisite of resilience is considered to be balance of a person’s life energy among the various areas of life – a basic principle of Positive Psychotherapy. In addition, there are several personality traits, competencies and psychosocial factors that have been shown to help improve resilience. Both aspects will be examined in the following article. Also, the article invites self-reflection on one’s own life balance, personality traits and competencies central to resilience. For the encouraging and interesting message is: Resilience can be developed and promoted – and can thereby contribute to increasing safety in high-risk environments as well as to promoting the employees’ health.

Abstract:

This paper calls for the creation of specialized therapy that focuses on Women’s Health within the context of Positive Psychotherapy. Often, women’s mental health needs are overlooked in current mental health care systems, making it clear that there is a need for therapeutic approaches that take into account the intersection of gender and other important factors. By combining the principles of Positive Psychotherapy with a focus on Women’s Health, this paper suggests a comprehensive and empowering framework for tackling women’s mental health issues. The paper delves into the background of women’s mental health needs and identifies the gaps in the existing mental health care systems. It highlights how crucial it is to have specialized treatments that understand and address the unique needs and experiences of women. It also calls for training more specialists in Women’s Health and Positive Psychotherapy to bridge the gap in gender-specific mental health services.

Abstract:

This pilot study investigated the effects of a self-help psychoeducation program based on positive psychotherapy on the psychological resilience of young adults in Turkey. The 8-week program was conducted online and comprised weekly 90-minute sessions. The intervention group consisted of 15 women between the ages of 18 and 35 living in various cities in Turkey. This study used a mixed-method design combining quantitative and qualitative approaches. Quantitative data were collected using a single-group pre-test–post-test–follow-up design, analyzed with the Wilcoxon signed-rank test, and assessed using the Brief Psychological Resilience Scale. Qualitative data were gathered via Google Forms and analyzed phenomenologically to explore participants’ experiences. The results showed that the psychoeducation program had positive effects on participants’ psychological resilience, and that these effects were maintained at follow-up. Qualitative analysis identified two main themes: self-help and self-compassion, and emotional management and balance. Participants reported enhanced self-help skills, increased self-compassion, and improved emotional regulation. Overall, the findings indicate that the proposed program is effective in enhancing young adults’ psychological resilience and developing their self-help skills. Recommendations for future research include expanding the sample size and including more diverse groups to improve generalizability.
