Prof. Dr. Nevzat Tarhan: "Positive psychology is the science of raising good people"
Üsküdar University Founding Rector, Psychiatrist Prof. Dr. Nevzat Tarhan said, "After Üsküdar, it is taught at Harvard, Yale and Bristol. Positive Psychology is the science of raising good people." In his article titled "Positive Psychology is the science of raising good people", he pointed out that "Positive Psychology" is the most important solution to combat the problems experienced during the pandemic process, to cope with problems and for psychological well-being. Noting that positive psychology, which is an important approach in terms of preventive health services in protecting public mental health, is an important resource, Tarhan said, "Empathy, stress management, anger management, self-mobilization, forgiveness, relationship management are some of the teachings acquired in this field. When a person learns these, he/she gains a protective barrier for mental health. Positive psychology provides this. In short, positive psychology is the science of raising good people. This special issue was prepared to introduce these characteristics to the society."
