If Freud was alive today, he would have supported our studies
Prof. Tarhan shared that they gave attention to certain aspects while establishing NPİSTANBUL Brain Hospital and continued as follows:
"First of all, as a psychiatrist, we are trying to get new information when we can not cure our patients. Secondly, there is a revolution in medical treatment and everything is developing rapidly. Moreover, since the time of Freudian divan therapy, psychoanalysis, pharmacogenetic and neurotological approaches have been discussed more extensively. I think if Freud was alive today, he would have supported our work. Getting anatomic and functional images of both refractory and psychiatric patients has become routine. Why did this happen? Firstly, science and technology have improved a lot and everything has been digitized. All of this led to the use of technology in psychiatric examination and treatment. In 2013, US Presidency launched Brain Entrepreneurship with NIH. New scientific field, brain science. How do we feel, how do we think? We have to discover more. It is a continuation of psychiatric neuroscience and should reflect this in the practice of therapy. This is where the university and hospital came out. We wanted to meet the need for new methods of treatment of Azheimer, Autism, Schizophrenia, ADHD, Depression. Üsküdar University and its Science Partner NPİSTANBUL Brain Hospital has been established with a new vision by adding Brain Surgery field to psychiatric and neurological treatments. Hannover INI Hospital was a wonderful inspiration and example to us. We want to express our thanks to Prof. Madjid Samii on this occasion.”
