Trauma and Resilience Laboratory

The Trauma and Resilience Laboratory, established in the 2021-2022 academic year under the Department of Clinical Psychology at Ibn Haldun University, continues its work in coordination with İPAM. The laboratory, led by Assoc. Prof. Dr. Burcu Uysal, engages in various academic studies and research projects with the active participation of undergraduate and graduate students.

In academic meetings organized by the researchers within the laboratory, leading figures in the fields of trauma and resilience share their knowledge and expertise; in this context, different schools of thought compare their understandings of trauma. Additionally, in programs such as the Methodological Colloquium Series, current research methods in the field are discussed, aiming to enhance the expertise of the researchers.

In addition to academic meetings, programs for the general public are also organized to raise awareness about trauma and resilience. Various academic research topics are pursued within the laboratory, and working groups are established in the following areas:

• General Trauma Research Working Group
• Psychological Resilience Working Group
• Dissociative Identity Disorder (DID) Working Group
• EMDR Working Group

Undergraduate and graduate students in Clinical Psychology join these working groups based on their areas of interest and collaborate with other groups to design and implement research projects. The laboratory aims to publish academic work in internationally respected journals and seeks to enhance the scope and quality of its activities, with a goal of developing national and international collaborations.
