The Psychology Summit organized by the İZÜ Psychology Club within the scope of “Zaimgeist: Psychology Days” allowed participants to listen to experts on current approaches regarding addiction, grief, neuropsychoanalysis, and the transformation of psychopathology. Okan University faculty member Can Gezgör emphasized that addiction should be addressed not only biologically but also together with the individual’s subjective experience and life story. Arel University faculty member Dr. Betül Çetintulum Huyut, in her presentation titled “Working with Prolonged Grief,” stated that grief is not limited to death and pointed out that prolonged grief can affect an individual’s functionality. Referring to the psychoanalytic meanings of dreams, Neuroscience Specialist Zahide Çakır Çilesiz discussed the brain correlates of unconscious processes, while the final speaker of the program, Clinical Psychologist Dr. Yeliz Börekçi, evaluated the concept of transference, the impact of an individual’s past relationship patterns on the present, and the changing structure of psychopathology over time.
