- W803989061 abstract "The aim of this article is to elaborate on contemporary Turkish articles on natural disaster and grief. Although traumatic experiences have been a part of Turkish culture for hundreds of years, studies on psychological trauma are only a recent development in Turkey. The first Turkish article describing posttraumatic symptoms by Osman (1916) was followed by a lengthy period of silence on the topic of psycho trauma until 1970s. However, a dramatic increase in the number of scientific work and publications was observed after the 1999 Marmara earthquake. Therefore, psychological trauma might be considered a neglected issue in the field of mental health. This article summarizes the empirical research on natural disasters occurred in Turkey.Keywords: Turkey, disaster, psychotrauma, Marmara earthquakeMass traumatic experiences have been a part of Turkish culture for hundreds of years. Human made traumas such as wars, ethnic cleansing, and displacement were the main sources of these mass traumatic experiences. At the end of World I, the 600-years-old Ottoman Empire, previously spread across three continents, collapsed. Nearly five million Muslim, Turkish and other Ottoman citizens were killed through internal conflicts and by occupying imperialist forces. Millions of them were forced to leave their loved ones and their lands. After the Turkish Parliament was established in 1920, Turks fought an independence war and the Turkish Republic was founded in 1923. However, Turkish people could not find a way to deal with their sorrow and grief brought both by the dawn of the Ottoman Empire and the experiences during the Independence War. Furthermore, generations of the Turkish Republic experienced several natural disasters, but the 1999 earthquake was the worst of all in every aspect. Although Turkish society is based on strong emotional support networks, denial and silence have been the main strategies to cope with these struggles. These are the responses which are still prevalent for some grief reactions in modern Turkish society. The narratives, oral histories, qualitative research, and other research methods about the grief history of Turkey is another challenging topic. This article discusses the empirical research on natural disaster and grief work.Pioneering Turkish Articles on PsychotraumaDespite the widespread occurrence of traumatic events, studies on psychological trauma are only a recent development in Turkey. Until the Marmara Earthquake, only a limited number of studies had been conducted in Turkey (e.g., Basoglu et al., 1994; Karanci and Rustemli, 1995; Mirai, Ozean, Baykara, Yemez, and Tayyar, 1998; Rustemli and Karanci, 1996; Sener, Ozdemir, Senol, Karacan, & Kayin, 1997; Tek, Onder, and Duruari, 1993), and psychotrauma was a neglected issue. However, the earthquake experience led to an increased interest in and work on psychological trauma. The current article tries to follow the scientific paths of earthquake and grief studies in Turkey.The first Turkish article describing posttraumatic symptoms was entitled War Neuroses and was published in 1916 by Mazhar Osman (cited in Yanikdag, 2010), one of the founders of discipline of psychiatry in Turkey. Osman considered that some of these posttraumatic symptoms were the components of neurasthenia and indicated that these symptoms appeared to occur following events such as railroad accidents, wars, earthquakes, and other natural disasters. He suggested that the traumatic experience itself might cause hysteria or neurasthenia, and in some cases, it might even result in insanity. He also mentioned the need for providing compensation for those individuals experiencing posttraumatic psychological disturbances and highlighted that although the implementation of such compensation in Turkey did not appear to be likely at all, this issue was currently under debate in Western countries (Erkoc, 2000)Osman's article was followed by a lengthy period of silence on the topic of trauma. …" @default.
