A Systematic Review Study on Human Givens Therapy’s Effectiveness

Abstract

Human Givens Therapy (HGT), which is a short-term therapy with an individual-oriented, eclectic and integrative style, in which the therapy process is structured in line with the needs of the individual. At the same time, it is one of the therapies approaches that stand out abroad in the context of new and short-term approaches. With this study, it is aimed to evaluate the research involving HGT practices and to present a framework for HGT in the literature. Searches for the last 10 years were made with “human givens therapy”, hu-man givens approach” and “human givens” keywords on Google Scholars and databases. English or Turkish full-text PDF format articles in the fields of psychology/psychological counseling, where these keywords are mentioned and content is related, were selected. 9 articles were accessed in line with the articles content and article titles. Due to the lack of studies on this approach in Turkey, this research is the first study in Turkey in which HGT is introduced and discussed.

Keywords

• human givens therapy
• human givens approach
• systematic review

Human Givens (İnsana Verilen) Terapinin Etkililiği Üzerine Bir Sistematik Derleme Çalışması

Öz

Human Givens (İnsana Verilen) Terapi (HGT), bireyin ihtiyaçları doğrultusunda terapi süre-cinin yapılandırıldığı birey odaklı, eklektik ve bütünleştirici tarzı ile kısa süreli bir terapidir. Aynı zamanda, yeni ve kısa süreli yaklaşımlar bağlamında yurtdışında öne çıkan terapi yaklaşımlarından biridir. Bu çalışma ile alan yazında HGT uygulamalarının yer aldığı araş-tırmaları değerlendirmek ve HGT’ye ilişkin bir çerçeve sunmak amaçlanmıştır. Google Aka-demik ve veri tabanları üzerinden “human givens therapy”, human givens approach” ve “human givens” anahtar kelimeleri ile son 10 yıla ait taramalar yapılmıştır. Bu anahtar ke-limelerin geçtiği ve içeriğin ilgili olduğu, psikoloji/psikolojik danışmanlık alanlarında yapı-lan İngilizce veya Türkçe tam metin PDF formatındaki makaleler seçilmiştir. Makaleler içe-rikleri ve makale başlıkları doğrultusunda, 9 makaleye erişilmiştir. Türkiye’de bu yaklaşıma ilişkin çalışmaların olmaması nedeniyle bu araştırma HGT’nin tanıtıldığı ve ele alındığı ilk bilimsel çalışmadır.
