Employment direction

Employment direction

I. Field of clinical psychology

Employment orientation: hospitals, private psychological clinics, psychological counseling institutions, etc.

Work content: assessment, diagnosis and psychotherapy of various psychological disorders; Treatment of emotional and behavioral problems

Professional analysis: Personally, I think this will be one of the most promising psychological employment directions. This major is still in its infancy in China. However, with the in-depth study of mental illness and pain, it shows that there is great room for development in this field in China. Because the bio-psychological-social-psychological-pathological model makes it impossible to use a single biomedical model for the diagnosis and treatment of psychological problems in the future, the traditional psychiatric model can no longer meet the needs of multi-level and diversified diagnosis and treatment of psychological confusion. Professional psychotherapy service is imperative!

Industry veterans may be well aware that professional psychotherapy is basically blank in China today (although psychological counselors are everywhere). However, the psychology department required to be set up in 3A hospitals basically follows the traditional psychiatric drug treatment model, which cannot solve most types of psychological puzzles and deep psychological problems. Open up a broad employment space for people with clinical psychology background.

Second, the field of counseling psychology

Employment orientation: psychological counseling institutions, hospitals, communities, schools, enterprises, etc.

Job Description: Provide interview, measurement and treatment. It has a great intersection with clinical psychology, but it focuses more on the confusion of daily life, such as marriage, emotion, parent-child, workplace and so on.

Professional analysis: Consulting psychology does not involve psychiatry, but deals with all kinds of psychological puzzles that are common in daily life. It is closely related to people's daily life. It can even be said that everyone needs psychological counseling all his life.

At present, the domestic psychological counseling industry is mixed. In society, there are few experts in the founders of psychological counseling institutions, but most students majoring in psychology jump out to do other professions. I have to say that it is the loss of the development of this industry. However, with the enhancement of public awareness of mental health, especially young people, psychological counseling will become more and more popular. This industry was born in response to the needs of society and the public. What is needed is standardization and benign development, which cannot die out. The era of "warlord regime" will be broken sooner or later. After a series of changes such as bankruptcy, merger and merger, the law of industry development will surely appear, and several monopolies and small companies will survive in the cracks. And what you need is to choose a good platform.

Psychological counseling may not be in a professional psychological counseling institution. With the popularization, some companies, enterprises and schools began to recruit full-time psychological counselors. Open a door for this professional.

Third, the field of educational psychology

Employment orientation: schools, educational institutions and training institutions.

Work content: primary and secondary education, solving campus problems, improving academic performance, curriculum design, teacher training, and other educational contents.
