Clinical Psychology

Clinical psychology is a sub-branch of psychology that focuses
on the diagnosis and treatment of mental disorders by putting research methods
and findings into practice. All applications related to this branch of
psychology, which aims to purify the person from mental problems and increase
the quality of life by analyzing one’s own thoughts and behaviors, are
successfully carried out at Esencan Hospital.

Separating from traditional psychology in terms of
application, clinical psychology is basically divided into three stages as
evaluation, treatment and research. In keeping with the nature of clinical
psychology, these professionals have experience in behavioral therapy, group
therapy, family therapy, or psychoanalysis.

Clinical psychologists working in cooperation with
experts in the psychiatry unit in order to alleviate and eliminate
psychological disorders that affect a serious part of the society such as
addiction, obsessive-compulsive disorder, depression, anxiety, post-traumatic
stress disorder, eating disorders, provide guidance to people of all ages in understanding
and solving problems. .

Esencan Hospital applies and interprets psychological
tests in order to reveal mental characteristics in the first stage, which is
called “evaluation”, when applied to the clinical psychology
unit. Intelligence and achievement tests, personality tests or
neuropsychological tests can be used in the evaluation. After that,
diagnostic measurement tools and clinical observation are passed to the
“treatment” and “research” stages. In these two interrelated
stages, the expert psychologist using any of the various types of psychotherapy
or a combination of them follows the patient; makes the diagnosis by
communicating. At this point, specialist psychodynamic psychotherapy,
cognitive behavioral therapy, experiential / humanistic therapy, schema
therapy, etc. can use methods.

Clinical psychology, which is very effective in
eliminating emotional problems, intense stress, grief and trauma, or relieving
symptoms, which are beginning to seriously affect life, may also include
psychiatrist support in some cases. If necessary, interdisciplinary
studies are carried out with the specialist physicians working in Esencan
Hospital psychiatry unit at the stage where the most appropriate treatment is
decided for the person.
