摘要：The Department of Psychological Counseling and Guidance has become one of the most popular departments in the field of educational sciences in Turkey in recent years. When one looks at the Psychological Counseling and Guidance’s nearly sixty-year history in our country, it is possible to say that the field is gaining more prominence every day. The purpose of this study is to examine the thematic and methodological aspects of applied postgraduate theses on Psychological Counseling and Guidance. The study was carried out on the basis of 268 applied postgraduate theses published by the Council of Higher Education’s National Thesis Center and publicly available. For the thematic and methodological examination of the theses, a thesis examination form developed by the researchers was used. Categorical analysis and frequency analysis techniques were used for the analysis of the data. A general review of the theses revealed that the number of applied theses has been increasing since 2003 and that most of the theses are being published by Ankara University and Dokuz Eylül University, with thesis supervisors at professor level preferring applied theses more. When the theses were examined thematically, it was found that within 268 theses, 103 subjects were studied. Approximately 10% of the theses were found to focus on “family, marriage, family education”. This was followed by “communication, empathy and social skills”, “peer mediation, conflict resolution” and “career guidance and career counseling” respectively. When the theses were examined from a methodical point of view, it was found that the experimental model with pre-test post-test control group is most common, that individuals have been assigned to experimental and control groups through neutral assignments, and that most of the research has been conducted with secondary school, high school and undergraduate students.
