Child and Adolescent Psychology
Development of personality is a process. This process is like a computer game that offers prizes in various stages. Certain duties are assigned in each phase. Each child that fulfills those duties is entitled to progress into the next phase. However, a child cannot progress, if the requirements of a previous phase cannot be met. If the phases that should be reached cannot be accessed in all aspect due to any reason whatsoever, personality development of the child may be influenced negatively even until adolescence. Our hospital offers psychological development counseling for children aged 0 to 18 years to recognize this type of crisis periods, prevent potential problems before they progress or to cope with them rationally when they actually occur.

Child and Adolescent Therapy
Personality formation is a process. It resembles a computer game that is won by passing through certain stages. Each stage comes with certain tasks, and every child who completes these tasks earns the right to move on to the next stage. A child who cannot fulfil the requirements of a stage gets stuck at that stage and cannot progress. Whatever the reason, if the necessary stages are not reached properly, the child's personality development may be negatively affected, and this may continue into adolescence. To recognize such periods of crisis, to prevent possible problems before they grow, or to cope with them consciously when they arise, our hospital offers psychological development counselling for children aged 0-18.
Our department offers individual psychotherapy, play therapy, family therapy, parent education, family counselling, and child development and follow-up services for ages 0-6. Treatment also makes use of various psychological assessment tools, including intelligence and development tests. IQ tests are used to determine whether a child has a learning disability and to measure the child's level of learning and existing intellectual potential. The department provides a range of treatments for children with various problems and conditions, such as psychological support, treatment planning and education.

Situations in which play therapy support may help: sibling jealousy, bedwetting, anger, lack of self-confidence, not sleeping alone at night, speech disorders, harming objects or oneself… Read more...
