In this study, narrative therapy and solution-focused brief therapy, which are the postmodern psychotherapy methods, are compared in terms of similarities and differences. In the study, primarily theoretical information about narrative therapy and solution-focused short-term therapy, which differs from traditional psychotherapy methods, the techniques used, and information about therapeutic application processes are given. Then, narrative therapy and solution-focused short-term therapies are compared in terms of similarities and differences. As a result, although narrative therapy, which is a postmodernist and social constructivist psychotherapy method, and solution-focused short-term therapy, which is a postmodern, inductive, and constructivist psychotherapy approach, have great similarities in terms of both theoretical and therapeutic processes; they also seem to have some differences.

The phenomenon of migration appears as an incontrovertible reality of social life today as it was in the past. While social, cultural, political, economic, etc. factors constitute the causes of migration, they are seen as the psycho-social dynamics most affected by migration. In this study, the narratives regarding the migration process of the Balkan immigrants living in Samsun were evaluated from a social psychological perspective in the context of the post-migration adaptation process. The narratives of the Balkan immigrants were examined in depth using thematic analysis method. As a result of the analysis, the narratives were evaluated within the framework of the themes of “basic needs,” “cultural characteristics,” and “acculturation.” It has been determined that with the effect of features such as cultural similarities, sense of belonging, empathy, and cooperation, Balkan immigrants mostly do not experience problems in the adaptation process relatively different from other migration processes.
