Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) is a neurodevelopmental disorder that manifests with limited communication skills and repetitive behavioral patterns, and it can occur in individuals of any race and ethnicity. In addition to the challenging nature of the disorder, individuals with ASD are more prone to chronic illnesses compared to their counterparts in the neurotypical society. These chronic illnesses often include various subtypes, such as digestive system disorders, allergies, and epilepsy. In addition to the negative impact of chronic illnesses on health, individuals with ASD and their caregivers encounter various challenges when seeking healthcare services. Due to communication deficiencies and sensory issues, individuals with ASD often do not receive adequate healthcare services, and caregivers may have negative experiences due to healthcare professionals' lack of knowledge about ASD. To address the challenges faced by individuals with ASD and their caregivers in accessing and maintaining healthcare, it is recommended that healthcare teams receive training in this area, and fundamental changes are made in the healthcare system. Examination and treatment processes should be tailored specifically for individuals with autism, and physical conditions should be improved.

Studies on violence primarily focus on domestic violence and physical violence against women. However, emotional or psychological violence seems to be overlooked. The aim of this study is to reveal whether the gender (female/male) and appearance (safe/unsafe) of the perpetrator and psychological violence behaviors (humiliation/blocking) influence psychological violence awareness and moral disengagement among university students. It was expected that unsafe appearance, male perpetrator, and humiliating psychological violence scenario would increase the awareness of psychological violence and moral disengagement. This is because the mentioned variables were expected to increase the salience and justification of violence. At first, the visual depiction of perpetrator was created through a pilot study. The presented image was electronically altered to obtain different gender and appearance conditions. Also, the vignette also had two different conditions involving humiliation or blocking. Data were collected face to face from 121 university students in 2x2x2 between-subjects experimental design. The dependent variables were psychological violence awareness and moral disengagement scores. The results showed that the main hypotheses were rejected. The gender and appearance of the perpetrator do not affect the awareness of psychological violence. However, it observed that blocking, which is a type of psychological violence, less noticeable than humiliation. The most striking result of the study was that moral disengagement was not affected significantly by any of the variables. The research findings are discussed in the light of the previous studies and social context.

This article presents a comprehensive analysis of the animated film Ferdinand directed by Carlos Saldanha within the framework of psychoanalytic theories. In this study, the internal conflicts, unconscious desires and struggles of the characters in the film are detailed based on Freud's topographic and structural model and psychosexual development theory. While the character Ferdinand instinctively chooses to avoid violence, he also resists the expectations imposed on him. This situation is considered as a challenge to the roles expected of him by his environment and the desire for a peaceful life during Ferdinand's search for identity. The article analyzes Ferdinand's identity process, his unconscious desires and the conflicts between ego and superego, which develop from childhood, in the light of Freud's psychoanalytic theories. The study also emphasizes that animated films can be used as an analysis tool in education and therapy processes. The film Ferdinand is evaluated as a rich narrative that powerfully handles the search for individual identity and the struggle against social expectations. This analysis delves into how the film reveals the dynamics between unconscious desires, ego, superego and psychosexual stages.

Metacognition refers to the individual’s ability to recognize their cognitive processes, develop strategies based on these processes, and organize strategies appropriately for the situation. According to Flavell's model, metacognition enables the monitoring, evaluation, and, when necessary, organization of learning and thinking processes. Metacognitive knowledge is classified as declarative, procedural, and conditional knowledge. These types of knowledge increase the individual's awareness of their thoughts and make learning processes more effective. Metacognitive beliefs express the value an individual attributes to their thoughts and can be positive or negative. Positive metacognitive beliefs include the belief that worry or rumination can produce beneficial results. In contrast, negative metacognitive beliefs carry the fear that these processes may cause harm if they cannot be controlled. In psychopathologies, it is observed that negative metacognitive beliefs are common and individuals develop dysfunctional thought patterns. Regarding psychopathologies, it has been observed that disorders in metacognitive functions negatively affect cognitive processes and play an important role in the development of mental disorders such as anxiety disorders, depression, obsessive-compulsive disorder, post-traumatic stress disorder, and eating disorders. Inadequate metacognitive control can cause a person to establish dysfunctional thought patterns and develop maladaptive coping skills. The negative consequences of these processes can lead to poor prognosis for mental disorders. This review examines the basic concepts of metacognition and its relationship to mental disorders, emphasizing the effects of metacognitive processes on emotional regulation and cognitive appraisal. The study of metacognition makes important contributions to understanding the cognitive basis of psychopathology.

According to Freud, the concept of identification, which is a kind of emotional bond that people establish with each other, includes the subject, which is formed by the cognitive design of the person, and the object, which is formed by a quality of the other with whom the identification is established. The identification process occurs unconsciously and may be occur due to a loss of the identifying person (death of a loved one, loss of the object of desire, etc.). While for Freud, the subject of identification, which is formed by the cognitive design, is in the foreground in identification, for Lacan, the object of identification is the main component worthy of attention. The concept of identification does not always mean becoming the same as the other. The most concise meaning of identification is that the person who owns the cognitive design establishes a connection with the person who owns a quality that they seek unconsciously. In this article, Barış Bıçakçı’s novel Our Grand Despair, first published in 2004, is discussed within the framework of the concept of identification; the states of integration/being one/being whole experienced by the characters through their identification are examined. In this context, the identification experiences of Ender and Çetin, the main characters of the novel, being at the forefront, the identification of these characters with other people in their lives and their identification experiences with Nihal, who can be considered the other main character of the novel, are reviewed.

The February 6 earthquakes left deep scars on the psychological health of the society. In order to repair these scars and minimize the damages that may be caused by future disasters, the current situation needs to be addressed in detail in different contexts. The aim of the current study is to examine the earthquake anxiety and symptom levels of individuals who indirectly experienced the earthquake. In this examination,having relatives in the earthquake zone, daily media monitoring after the earthquake, frequency of post-earthquake guilt and demographic variables (gender, age, education level) were discussed. Earthquake Anxiety Scale and Short Symptom Inventory were used to measure the earthquake anxiety and symptom levels of individuals. The data collected from 205 participants (aged between 18 and 60) through Google Forms showed that people’s earthquake anxiety varies according to the frequency of media monitoring after the earthquake. In addition, the level of psychological symptoms differed according to having relatives in the earthquake zone. Gender and education level were also effective on both earthquake anxiety and symptom level. In addition, when the relationship between age and earthquake anxiety level was analysed, it was determined that there was a decrease in earthquake anxiety level depending on the increase in age. Finally, it was found that as the frequency of experiencing post-earthquake guilt increased, both earthquake anxiety and symptom level increased, that is, there was a positive relationship between them. The findings of the study may help the development of intervention programs covering all individuals in the society and the creation of a disaster culture including a sensitive disaster language.

Adolescence is a developmental period marked by significant changes and developmental gains across various domains. Some adolescents experience adjustment and behavioral problems that negatively impact themselves and those around them. Various classifications have been proposed to categorize these issues, one of which is the dual classification by Achenbach and Edelbrock (1978), which categorizes problems into internalizing and externalizing behavioral issues. According to this classification, internalizing problems refer to over-controlled issues such as suppressed emotions, shyness, anxiety, and personality disorders, while externalizing problems refer to under-controlled issues such as aggression, hyperactivity, and conduct disorders. This study focuses on internalizing behavioral problems observed during adolescence and evaluates risk factors related to these issues in terms of biological, individual, and contextual factors. Findings indicate that the prevalence rates of internalizing problems vary depending on the specific internalizing issue (e.g., depression, anxiety) and the geographical location. Notably, most studies tend to focus on a single internalizing problem when examining the associated biological, individual, and contextual factors. Thus, a need for further research on internalizing behavioral problems during adolescence is evident in both national and international literature.
