Railly News agency, established in 2011 and publishing in 45 languages, featured Prof. Dr. Nevzat Tarhan's article in English on its pages. ** ## İçerik ![](https://cdn.uskudar.edu.tr/uploads/images/2021/10/05/800/prof-dr-nevzat-tarhan-4.JPG) In his article, Psychiatrist Prof. Dr. Nevzat Tarhan underlined the great importance of psychological health as much as physical health, emphasizing that our psychology, just like our body, needs balanced and proper nourishment. Pointing to the importance of emotion management, Prof. Dr. Nevzat Tarhan said, “We must keep love, our most important psychological resource, in a large pool and be generous with love.” Prof. Dr. Nevzat Tarhan also touched upon the necessity of making mental investments to make life meaningful. The Turkish version of Prof. Dr. Nevzat Tarhan’s article published in Railly News agency is below. ## **Our psychology also needs balanced and proper nourishment!** Üsküdar Üniversitesi Founding Rector, Psychiatrist Prof. Dr. Nevzat Tarhan, stated that before the 90s, emotions and thoughts were shown as sources of psychology, and after the 90s, with the entry of the neuroscience concept into our lives, especially with brain studies, the effect of emotions and values on human behavior began to be investigated. ## **“Humans are psychological beings”** Noting that humans are not only rational beings but also psychological beings, Prof. Dr. Nevzat Tarhan said, “Unlike other living beings, they are not content with eating, drinking, and reproducing. When we disregard the psychological dimension of humans, we keep them at a primitive level. Eating, drinking, and reproducing are needs for humans to sustain their lives. However, humans are beings who think abstractly, conceptually, and symbolically. Due to this characteristic, humans have psychological resources. These resources also need to be managed and invested in. Emotions and values must be taken into account. What do we understand by emotional and cognitive investment? The word 'cognitive' entered Turkish as psychology terminology. It hasn't fully settled in Turkish. In fact, the word that best corresponds to this concept is 'mental investment'. There is a mind above our brain. The mind is also related to the quantum universe. Neuroscience has revealed this. This is said with reasoning such as ‘There is a p300 wave in the brain. It is not the brain that makes decisions; there must be a holographic brain above the brain.’ This is currently being investigated.” ## **“Psychology is summarized in 3 words: Mind, brain, culture”** Stating that humans make decisions not only with their reasoning mind but also with their emotions, excitements, and cultural values, Prof. Dr. Nevzat Tarhan said, “Psychology is summarized in three words: mind, brain, and culture. When these three concepts come together, a human becomes human. Instead of 'akıl' (reason), 'zihin' (mind) can also be used. It is referred to as mind, brain, and culture. Humans are the sum of these three. ## **“Emotion management is the management of the chemical pharmacy in the brain”** Humans are not solely made of emotion. Nor are they solely made of thought. Our culture has synthesized mind and heart. What is meant by heart here is emotion. It is not the physical heart. The word 'kalp' here, from its Arabic root, comes from the word 'İnkılap' (revolution/change). It is the organ that 'changes', 'transforms', like converting sound energy into electrical energy, or heat energy into electrical energy. For this reason, the connection of the heart with our emotions and the chemicals in the brain has been determined. In fact, emotion management means the management of the chemical pharmacy in our brain. For a person to manage their psychology well means to manage their brain chemistry well,” he said. ## **“We will keep the love pool wide”** Stating that the most important psychological resource is love, Prof. Dr. Nevzat Tarhan said, “In resource management for investment, there is a pool formula. You will keep the pool large. You will keep love, our most important psychological resource, wide. We will be generous with love. Some people are stingy with love. We should express love as an emotional language. The language of love does not necessarily mean ‘I love you’; we can express love in other ways too. What is important is that it is sincere.” ## **“Intention is also a psychological resource”** Saying, “The eye, face, and heart must be in unison. A tremendous intention emerges in a person who achieves this,” Prof. Dr. Nevzat Tarhan added, “Intention is also a psychological resource. Good intention is a magical word. There are studies on ‘Goodwill and the neurobiology of intention.’ In individuals with good intentions, emotional mirror neurons in the brain are active. They activate areas related to positive emotions in the other person's brain, and emotional mirror neurons, like an internet in the brain, activate and communicate.” ## **“Reinforcing the positive aspect is essential”** Pointing to the importance of enlarging the pool in resource management and then using this pool correctly and wisely, Prof. Dr. Nevzat Tarhan said, “You must give first, so you can manage afterwards. In education, teachers, mothers, and fathers should be generous with love. There is no need to resort to violence or shouting when a child makes a mistake. You will give the child love. What is the real success in education? Reinforcing the positive aspect is essential; punishment is an exception. For academic and life success in education. For a child to be successful, they need to love the lesson. For them to love the lesson, they need to love the teacher. That's not enough. For the teacher to be loved, the teacher needs to love the student. If this chain of love continues, the child eventually becomes successful.” ## **“Mental investment is required to make life meaningful”** Stating that mental investment is necessary to make life meaningful, Prof. Dr. Nevzat Tarhan advised, “It is important for a person to know themselves, learn to manage their emotions, and manage emotions, thoughts, and values as a resource. To achieve these, you must first make emotional and mental investments. What is mental investment? You will wise up your mind. To wise up, you need to add emotion to reason. A synthesis of mind and heart is required. For this, a person needs to learn high moral values. By using our mind and heart, we can increase our emotional and cognitive resources and investments.” **You can access Prof. Dr. Nevzat Tarhan’s English article published in Railly News agency via the link below.** **News: **[**https://www.raillynews.com/2021/09/Our-psychology-needs-a-balanced-and-correct-diet-just-like-our-body./**](https://www.raillynews.com/2021/09/Our-psychology-needs-a-balanced-and-correct-diet-just-like-our-body./) --- *Kaynak: [Üsküdar Haber Ajansı](https://uha.com.tr) — https://uha.com.tr/prof-dr-nevzat-tarhans-article-draws-attention-of-foreign-press*
