Abstract
The earthquake that took place on August 17, 1999, in the Marmara region of Turkey affected almost 20 million people with 18,000 killed and 50,000 injured. Medical and mental health professionals together with national and international relief and rescue teams had to meet the needs of the survivors. The mental health professionals had to serve in the disaster area and get training from experts at the same time. This article focuses on studies conducted from 1971 to 2003 with disaster survivors in Turkey. The results of these studies are discussed and conclusions are drawn to be integrated with the experience gained from the work onsite.
