Özet

Son yıllarda türbe ziyareti gibi yerel sağaltım yöntemlerinin öneminden ve ruh sağlığına olan faydalarından sıklıkla bahsedilmektedir. Bu tip kültüre ve geleneklere dayalı uygulamaların ve yerel bilgi dağarcığının, tüm psikolojik danışmanlık bilgisini zenginleştireceği ve eski problemlere yeni çözümler bulmada fayda sağlayacağı vurgulanmıştır. Bu doğrultuda, dünyanın çeşitli kültürlerinde ve dinlerinde kullanılan sağaltım yöntemlerini psikolojik faydaları açısından ele alan kitaplar yayımlanmış ve bu yöntemlerin Batılı psikoterapi yöntemleriyle harmanlanmasının önemi üzerinde durulmuştur. Ayrıca, akıl sağlığı çalışanlarının kültürüne ve geleneklerine bağlı kişilerle çalışırken onları bu tip yerel sağaltım uygulamalarına yönlendirmeleri gerekebileceği, bu nedenle de psikoterapistlerin bu kültürel uygulamalar hakkında bilgi sahibi olmaları gerektiği savunulmuştur. Buradan yola çıkarak, bu makalenin amacı Türkiye'deki geleneksel, kültüre ve inançlara dayalı sağaltım yöntemlerini, türbe ve hoca ziyaretleri çerçevesinde özetlemek ve üç türbenin tasviri ve türbe görevlileri ile yapılan görüşmeler bağlamında incelemektir
