Eyyy Z Kuşağı!
Tam elli yıl önce, henüz Kuğulu Park kavşağı bile yapılmamışken, Ankara’da gençliğe adım atmış bir yatılı lise öğrencisi olarak bugünün gençleri için anlamlı neler söyleyebilirim? Şöyle, kuşak farklarına dayanıklı bir eylemle, dedikodu ile başlayalım; sizin için söylenenleri biliyor musunuz? Örneğin, hemencilik, anında sonuç alma arzusu, alamadığında vazgeçme ve beklemeye pek tahammül edememe ya da kendi keyfine düşkünlük gibi davranışların yeni kuşaklarda daha sık ve yaygın

Posttraumatic, Dissociative and Grief Symptoms in Turkish Children Exposed to the 1999 Earthquakes
Abstract: Grief and dissociation after traumatic exposures are among the most important predictors of posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD). This article introduces the Traumatic Dissociation and Grief Scale (TDGS), a 23-item measure easily adminis- tered. The TDGS, the Child PTSD-Reaction Index (CPTSD-RI), and a questionnaire concerning risk factors related to the event (losses, injury, and witnessing death and injuries) were administered to school-aged children who had been

Pandemi Sürecinde Okula Dönüş Araştırması
COVID-19 pandemisi hayatlarımızda köklü değişiklikler yarattı. Evler okul oldu. Anne-babaların çoğu bir yandan işlerini evden sürdürürken, bir yandan çocuk bakımı sorumluluklarını yürütmeye çalıştılar. Bu bakım sorumlulukları içinde evdeki uzaktan okulu takip etmek gibi işler de vardı. Öğretmenler ortaya çıkan bu yepyeni koşullarda müfredatı tamamlamak, öğrencileri psikolojik ve sosyal olarak geleceğe hazırlamak gibi bir görevi pek de iyi tanımadıkları teknolojik olanaklarda

Early School Entry and ADHD: The Effect of Age on ADHD Symptoms and Academic-Social Functioning in Primary School Children
Abstract Objective : In April 2012, the Turkish national education system was modified, and the compulsory school age of entry (first grade) was redefined as a minimum of 60 months and a maximum of 66 months (replacing the former minimum criterion of 72 months). In this study, we hypothesized that students starting school before 72 months (the previous age standard for the first grade) may experience (1) a greater number of symptoms of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder

Prodrome: An early, nonspecific set of symptoms that indicate the onset of disease before specific, diagnosable symptoms occur’ (National Research Council and Institute of Medicine., 2009) Mental, behavioral, and developmental disorders with childhood onset are a major public-health concern(WHO, 2005). Based on the National Comorbidity Survey Replication study, about half of all Americans will meet the criteria for a DSM-IV disorder sometime in their life, with first onset u

The Naive and Sentimental Diagnostician
Mothers may be among the best diagnosticians of developmental and behavioral problems in young children. If not for the positive predictive power of the mother’s diagnostic ability, few kids would make it to the child and adolescent psychiatrist (‘help-seeking’) unless they really got into trouble. Mothers can sense that there is something wrong associated with a burden (‘impairment’) despite their being naı¨ve in the sense of medical diagnostic algorithms, while we, as docto

Sex and Hand Use Interaction in Pseudoneglect: Evidence from Visual Line Bisection
Abstract If subjects are asked to indicate the midpoint of a horizontal line, they tend to bisect it left of the center, a phenomenon called ‘pseudoneglect’. Assuming that this task evokes visuospatial processes, the left bias is generally considered to arise from a right-hemispheric activation. Numerous factors affect pseudoneglect. Although, only few studies have examined the influence of sex in visual line bisection, most of theses studies reported no significant main effe

School-Based Mental Health Interventions After Trauma: Lessons from Post-9/11 Disaster Response
Professionals who search the Medline database for publications in the areas of ‘‘trauma/disaster’’ and ‘‘school interventions’’ encounter disappointing results: only a few articles match the requested terms. The September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks, however, have produced reports on several initiatives that assess the postevent responses of school-age children as a primary step toward allocation of resources and future interventions <1,2>. The situation before September 11 re
