We all know that childhood and adolescence are critical periods in terms of healthy development, mental well-being, and the emergence for the delinquency. So, how should we approach “abnormal” behaviors in children?

In this seminar, school shootings and their psychosocial roots and consequences will be discussed through real cases from the lens of clinical and forensic psychology.

She worked as a Research Assistant at İstanbul Kent University. Her main research interests include trauma, dissociation, digital parenting, personality disorders, and criminal behavior.
