Students of Psychology Profession Law Platform (PÖMYAP) 

The absence of a professional law for psychologists who are graduates of the psychology department leads to abuse of the discipline of psychology. The fact that a professional law does not clearly define the boundaries of the psychology profession causes abuse in various sub-fields of psychology. PÖMYAP was established to obtain an independent professional law and professional chamber and conduct systematic and organized studies on the problems of psychology departments on July 1, 2014.
