Principles in Psychiatry and Psychotherapy

Evidence-based psychiatry, cognitive-behavioural psychotherapy and motivational interviewing for patient-centred, safe and transparent care. — Prof. Dr. Ertuğrul Köroğlu

  • Evidence-Based Approach

    Every treatment is evaluated for scientific validity, long-term effect and patient safety; DSM and current guidelines are followed.

  • Ethics and Transparency

    Clear boundaries, informed consent and a process that avoids misinformation and unsafe practices.

  • Patient-Centred Partnership

    Decisions are made together; the patient is informed, involved and supported throughout the process.

  • Motivational Interviewing (MI)

    As a MINT trainer, a collaborative Motivational Interviewing approach in addiction and behaviour change.

  • Continuous Follow-Up and Education

    Outcomes and recovery are monitored; care and education continue through CME and ongoing training.

  • Global Standards

    Built with international projects and digital health systems (Intivara – USA, FSTAR Health – UK) to ensure safer, more accountable care.
