BİR TERAPİ ODASI SİMÜLASYONU OLARAK GÜLSEREN BUDAYICIOĞLU EVRENİ DRAMALARI
GULSEREN BUDAYICIOĞLU UNIVERSE DRAMAS AS A THERAPY ROOM SIMULATION

Summary/Abstract: Television dramas are influenced by social transformations and popular culture. Cinema, too, has been nourished by psychology almost from its beginning. In addition, both the popularization and the massification of psychology, with examples such as Irvin Yalom in world literature and Gülseren Budayıcıoğlu in Türkiye, have increased the visibility of therapy in television dramas. On the one hand, the fact that the narratives that center or contain therapy in cinema and television can be seen as an opportunity for the healing of society due to the therapeutic potential, which has also increased the discussions on the point of representation. In this study, the discourses and representations in the dramas İstanbullu Gelin (The Bride from Istanbul), Doğduğun Ev Kaderindir (The House You Are Born is Your Destiny), Kırmızı Oda (The Red Room), Masumlar Apartmanı (The Innocent Apartment), and Çöp Adam (Rubbish Man), in which the therapy and the therapist take place in the television dramas both adapted from Gülseren Budayıcıoğlu's novels and supervised by her were discussed with descriptive analysis. With this representative therapy process, the characters are not handled as a part of the society but as a self and family integrity independent of all environmental influences. The individual is a separate part from the whole. Considering the interactions within the dramas, it has been seen that all narratives can be considered as a part of a fictional transmedia universe. All contents serve the same world and reproduce a similar discourse. Although there may be a dimension that encourages society to go to therapy in the dramas examined, the narratives do not produce a therapeutic treatment in general and provide catharsis with the narrative style and music used.
