Burçin EMRE

I am a psychologist and Turkish citizen. I have studied between 2005 and 2010 in TRNC ( Northern Cyprus ) at faculty of psychology in English language with a %100 governmental scholarship.

My diploma is Blue Diploma Status and is valid at European Union Countries.

Firstly, I had worked devotedly in Special Education Schools ( Special Needs Children) for 2 years.

In 2012, I started to work in the Ministry of Justice General Directorate of Prisons and Detention Houses ( in Turkey ) with the score of the Public Personnel Selection Exam.

I am currently working as a Psychologist in Bursa E Type Closed and Open Penal Institution.

I have been working with negative groups ( Convict / prisoner) and their families, for 10 years.

As a psychologist , I particularly participate to individual therapy for convicts at their first entrance. I evaluate their psychological status.

At the end of the psychological evaluation, individuals are directed to group work according to their needs.

Those who need psychiatric support are referred to the hospital with an observation evaluation report.

According to the Turkish Judicial System, I am preparing a report about the convicts whose sentence period is almost over so that they can benefit from the Open Penal Execution Institution or the Probation Measure.

This report is presented to the members of the Management and Observation Board.

Decisions are made about individuals together with the members of the board consisting of members of other ministries (Ministry of Family and Social Policies, Ministry of Health, Human Rights Commission, Prosecutor).
