"Psîkoanalîz dikare ji her kesî re bikêr be"

Dema ku Charles Turk xwendekarek bijîjkî û li nexweşxaneyê stajyer bû, wî dît ku pir caran nexweşên ku ji hêla laşî ve sax bûne hîn jî tengasiya hestyarî berdewam dikin. Dûv re ew yekem car bi psîkiyatriyê re eleqedar bû, ku tenê bala xwe dide demên weha.

He was educated before psychiatry «rediscovered the workings of the brain,» and most of his teachers and supervisors specialized in psychoanalysis — this predetermined his choice.

Charles Turk to this day continues to combine both directions in his practice — psychiatry and psychoanalysis. His work has received recognition in the professional circle. In 1992, he received an award from the National Alliance for Mentally Ill, a professional organization for psychiatrists. In 2004 — another award from the international psychoanalytic organization International Federation for Psychoanalytic Education.

Psîkoanalîz ji psîkoterapiyê çawa cûda ye?

Charles Turk: Bi dîtina min, psîkoterapî dibe alîkar ku meriv ji nîşanên ku destwerdanê dike xilas bibe. Psychoanalysis, ji hêla din ve, armanc dike ku nakokiyên navxweyî yên di binê van nîşanan de nas bike û çareser bike.

Psîkoanalîz bi rastî çawa alîkariya nexweşan dike?

It allows you to create a safe space, and the client can freely talk about topics that he has never discussed with anyone before — while the analyst does not interfere in the process.

Pêvajoya psîkanalîzê vedibêje. Bi rastî hûn bi xerîdaran re çawa dixebitin?

I do not give any formal instructions, but I create a safe space for the client and subtly guide him and encourage him to fill this space in a way that will be most useful for him. The basis of this work is the «free associations» that the client expresses in the process. But he has every right to refuse.

Gava ku mirov yekem car pisporek dibîne, meriv çawa di navbera psîkanalîz û celebên din ên terapiyê de hildibijêre?

Pêşîn, divê ew li ser tiştê ku bi rastî wî aciz dike bifikire. Û paşê biryar bide ku ew dixwaze ji karê bi pisporek re çi bigire. Bi tenê ji bo sivikkirin an ji holê rakirina nîşanên pirsgirêkê an jî lêkolîn û lêkolîna rewşa xweya subjektîf kûrtir.

Karê psîkoanalîstek ji ya ku pisporên warên din û rêbazên din pêşkêş dikin çawa cûda dibe?

I do not give advice, because psychoanalysis invites a person to find in himself the key — and he already has it — from the prison that he has built for himself. And I try not to prescribe drugs, although in some cases they can also play an important role in the overall process of treatment.

Ji me re serpêhatiya xwe ya kesane ya bi psîkoanalîst re bêje.

While I myself was lying on the couch, my psychoanalyst created for me that very safe space in which I could find means and solutions to get rid of feelings of alienation, fear, obsessive stubbornness and depression that had long tormented me. It was replaced by the «ordinary human discontent» that Freud promised his patients. In my practice, I try to do the same for my clients.

Li gorî we, kî dikare psîkanalîz alîkariyê bike?

In our field, it is believed that there is a certain set of criteria by which one can determine who is suitable for psychoanalysis. It is assumed that the method can be potentially dangerous for «vulnerable individuals». But I have come to a different point of view, and I believe that it is impossible to predict who will benefit from psychoanalysis and who will not.

With my clients, I try to unobtrusively begin psychoanalytic work, creating the appropriate conditions. They can refuse at any time if they feel that it is too difficult for them. In this way, the so-called «dangers» can be avoided.

Hin kes ew qas bi pirsgirêk û tevgerên xwe yên netendurist re aciz dibin ku ew ne amade ne ku dev ji wan berdin. Lêbelê, psîkanalîz dikare ji her kesê ku dixwaze fêm bike ka çima ew dîsa û dîsa dikeve heman rewşên ne xweş û bi biryar e ku wê rast bike re kêrhatî be. Û ew dixwaze ku ji serpêhatî û diyardeyên ne xweş ên ku jiyana wî jehrî dikin, xilas bike.

I have had a few patients who had reached a dead end in previous therapy, but after a lot of work we managed to improve their condition — they were able to find a place for themselves in society. Three of them suffered from schizophrenia. Three more had borderline personality disorder and suffered from the severe consequences of childhood psychotrauma.

Lê têkçûn jî hebûn. Mînakî, sê nexweşên din di destpêkê de hêviyên mezin ji "dermankirina axaftinê" re hebûn û alîgirê dermankirinê bûn, lê di pêvajoyê de dev jê berda. Piştî wê, min biryar da ku ez çu carî sozê nekim ji xerîdar re ji ya ku ez bê guman dikarim bidim wan.
