Hale Usak-Şahin
Hale Uşak-Şahin (* 1978 in Bad Ischl ), also Hale Şahin , is an Austrian psychologist .
Şahin, a daughter of Turkish immigrants, studied psychology at the Leopold Franzens University in Innsbruck . Today she works for the Association of Special Education Families as a carer for children and families of Turkish descent in conflict and emergency situations.
In 2004 a text by her was included in the anthology heim.at , which deals with immigration from Turkey to Austria.
Şahin's book Under Our Soul Carpet from 2006 uses ethnopsychoanalysis to reveal the life stories of Turkish female emigrants of the first generation, a neglected aspect of guest worker research and shows life portraits of independent, sometimes emancipated women who have faced the challenge of immigration in different ways.
In 2013 the author published a “historical and current search for traces” about psychoanalysis in Turkey in Psychosozial-Verlag.
