Dr. İdil Eren Kurt serves as an Assistant Professor in the Department of Guidance and Psychological Counseling at Çukurova University's Faculty of Education, where she has held academic positions since 2018 following her doctoral completion. Her career includes prior research assistant roles at Çukurova University (2012-2023) and Mugla Sitki Kocman University (2010-2012), alongside non-academic counseling experience at specialized rehabilitation centers from 2007-2010.

Her educational background is entirely rooted at Çukurova University:

• Postgraduate (2011-2013): Institute of Social Sciences, Educational Sciences
• Undergraduate (2002-2006): Faculty of Education, Educational Sciences

Dr. Kurt's research centers on marital and family dynamics, with specialized focus on dyadic coping mechanisms, parenting stress, and marital quality assessment. Her work extends to LGBT-affirmative counseling practices, adolescent psychological interventions, and pandemic-related stress impacts on relationships. She maintains active professional development through systemic family therapy certifications and creative drama training.

Analysis of her publication record reveals consistent thematic evolution toward practical applications of dyadic coping theory, particularly through scale adaptations for Turkish populations (Dyadic Coping Inventory, Marital Quality Scale). Recent work emphasizes crisis response frameworks, including pandemic-era marital stress and violence prevention programs for intimate partner violence perpetrators.
