"No matter what the outside shows, Inside the Medallion lies the truest, most naked state of the human being."

Sometimes, a psychiatrist feels like a stage performer. From the moment they sit in that chair, they disconnect from their own world to witness the films of others' lives—exciting, interesting, and often heartbreaking.

In Inside the Medallion, Gülseren Budayıcıoğlu opens the door to these hidden worlds. We meet three sisters living in a "Garbage Apartment"—is the trash they hoard a reflection of what piles up in their subconscious? We witness Jale and Kemal, who only know how to communicate through violence. We follow Doctor Yiğit, who believes he is the Prophet Jesus, and Pembe, who punishes herself with her husband's beatings due to the guilt of feeling joy for the first time.

This book, which has become a classic and inspired hit TV series like The Innocents (Masumlar Apartmanı) and The Red Room (Kırmızı Oda), reveals the secrets hidden within everyday life.
