I write theoretical case examinations, and do qualitative research that focuses on psychoanalytical treatment,  which are published as academic articles and as book chapters.  I contribute to academia by working as a referee in AYNA Clinical Psychology Journal, which publishes scientific articles too. Also, I write essays that interpret the relationship that the individual has with himself and with the social world. Furthermore, I interpret literary works from a psychoanalytic perspective. I also translate various articles on psychoanalysis from French to Turkish.
