2. How Dupem works

Upon the first visit to the center, an application form is filled in. Based on this application form, a supervisor and a trainee psychologist are assigned to work with the person. After that, the first appointment is confirmed.

In Dupem, the process of helping our students according to their needs is carried out with an authentic understanding of a team which consists of an intern psychologist and supervisor. The American Psychology Association and Turkish psychology ethic commission approves of the system in Dupem. The patients are provided with the information of how Dupem works and asked for their confirmation of acceptance. The information about the people who ask for advice in Dupem is not shared with others without the written approval of patients. The content of the consultation is kept as a secret between the student, the in-turn psychologist and the supervisor. The content of the consultation is never shared with others under any circumstances.

In the first consultation, the problem is defined. Then, the psychotherapy is carried on with the in-turn psychologist and the supervisor.

In addition to psychotherapy in Dupem, the group work of 7-8 people is periodically -2 hours per week-carried out in order to help the personal development of students.
