Abstract

The phenomenon of academic procrastination, which is one of the major problems of the students nowadays, derives from many different factors. It is well known that there is a negative relationship between academic procrastination and academic success, grade point average, final exam scores, and the sense of self-esteem and self-efficacy. It is generally accepted that procrastination is a result of difficulties in self-control and task aversiveness. On the other hand, researchers and clinicians in the psychodynamic approach stress the role of procrastination in mental conflicts. Current literature shows that academic procrastination behaviors can stem from affect and selfesteem regulation problems. In this case study, the psychotherapy process of an academic procrastinator university student, which was conducted with the perspective of Heinz Kohut’s psychoanalytic self-psychology, was introduced. Being one of the modern psychoanalytic theories, psychoanalytic self-psychology shifts the emphasis from dynamic conflicts in psychoanalysis to difficulties in self-esteem regulation and self-actualization. In this article, general and clinical literature on procrastination was reviewed, then the theoretical background of the psychotherapy was represented, and finally, the case was analyzed and discussed in this context.

Özet

Günümüzde pek çok öğrencinin temel sorunlarından biri olan akademik erteleme davranışı, kökeninde çok çeşitli etmenlerin bulunduğu sorunsal bir olgudur. Akademik ertelemenin; akademikbaşarı, genel not ortalaması, final sınav notları, özsaygı ve öz yeterlilik hisleri gibi değişkenler ileolumsuz bir ilişkisi olduğu bilinmektedir. Genel olarak erteleme davranışlarının öz-kontrol zorluklarından ve yapılacak görevin caydırıcılığından kaynaklı olduğunu düşünülmektedir. Ancakaraştırmacılar bu etkenlere yönelik müdahalelerin her zaman istenilen başarıyı sağlayamadığınıbelirtmişlerdir. Psikodinamik yaklaşımı benimseyen araştırmacılar ve klinisyenler ise zihinselçatışmaların erteleme davranışlarında oynadığı rolleri ön plana çıkarmaya çalışmışlardır. Güncelalanyazın erteleme davranışlarının duygudurum ve özsaygı düzenlemede yaşanan sorunlardankaynaklanıyor olabileceğini belirtmektedir. Bu çalışmada akademik erteleme şikâyeti olan birüniversite öğrencisi ile yürütülen psikoterapi süreci aktarılmıştır. Psikoterapi süreci ve kuramsaltartışmalar, Heinz Kohut’un psikanalitik kendilik psikolojisi yaklaşımı üzerinden gerçekleştirilmiştir. Psikanalitik kendilik psikolojisi, modern psikanalitik kuramlardan bir tanesi olmakla beraber psikanalizin odağındaki dinamik çatışmalara yönelik vurguyu, kişinin özsaygısını düzenlemekve kendiliğini ortaya çıkarmakta yaşadığı zorluklara kaydırmaktadır. Bu makalede öncelikli olarak erteleme ile ilgili genel ve klinik alanyazın gözden geçirilmiş, daha sonra uygulanan psikoterapi yaklaşımının kuramsal altyapısı anlatılmış ve son olarak vaka, büyüklenmeci kendilik veülküleştirme aktarımları gibi psikanalitik kendilik psikolojisi kavramları üzerinden incelenerektartışılmıştır.
