What are the qualifications and examination procedures of psychological counselors?

1 1 just finished the second-level national psychological counselor exam in January. Now let me briefly talk about it. According to the registration conditions, first of all, it depends on your major, whether it is this major. However, at present, training institutions do not attach great importance to your major. As long as you participate in the training, you are allowed to apply. Then there is your educational background. You can choose the registration level according to the relevant regulations listed under the river. Generally, it must be trained by a formally authorized professional training institution (school). (Apply from the third level, unless you have a high degree or have been engaged in related work for a certain number of years and can provide certain information to prove it). Generally, you can check the schools that signed up for exam training online, because many key universities will organize related activities, but this way needs to pay attention to the authenticity of the content found online. (Some schools with informal authorization will also be confused and organize their own exams. As long as they pass 99% of the exams, their scores can only be found on their websites, so it is best to find out which local schools are officially authorized, or you can call after you find them online! (Of course, the location of the exam varies according to the location of the school you applied for. The school will make arrangements, usually at the school where you sign up for training, or at the university affiliated to that school. By the way, I think it's easy to pass the exam if you read the textbook thoroughly and then understand everything in the problem set. At present, the designated teaching materials are: China Employment Training Technical Guidance Center and China Mental Health Association. National Vocational Qualification Training Course Counselor (Basic Knowledge) Beijing: Nationalities Publishing House, 1st edition, August 2005, China Employment Training Technical Guidance Center, China Mental Health Association. National Vocational Qualification Training Course Counselor (Grade III) Beijing: Compiled by China Employment Training Technical Guidance Center and China Mental Health Association, National Publishing House, August 2005, first edition. National Vocational Qualification Training Course Psychological Counselor (Grade II) Beijing: The first edition of the examination in August 2005 by Nationalities Publishing House covers general psychology, developmental psychology, social psychology, abnormal psychology, psychological counseling, psychometrics, diagnostic skills, psychological counseling skills and psychological testing skills. If you just want to get a certificate, it's actually very simple, but if you really want to work in this industry in the future, your knowledge is far from enough, and you still need to read a lot of related books. Below, you can refer to the exam subjects and assessment scheme I found online: 1. Examination subjects and assessment scheme: the examination is divided into two parts: basic knowledge and skill operation (the second level requires paper defense), both of which are written. Second, the results query: the test results are generally published by the local examination authorities two months after the exam, and candidates can query the results according to the query method published by the examination authorities. Three. Eligibility criteria and certificate collection: the paper score 100, 60 points passed, and all parts passed to get the certificate. Those who pass the personal scores will be retained for 2 years. Note: Comprehensive evaluation is needed at the level of psychological counselors. In addition, people with professional titles in psychology, pedagogy and medicine who are engaged in clinical and teaching work of psychological counseling may not take the comprehensive examination of theoretical knowledge. The unit recommends and directly submits personal performance data to the expert group to declare the first-class qualification of psychological counselor, and the expert group conducts comprehensive evaluation. Fourth, test-taking skills: basic knowledge: the topic is relatively easy, the exam is the basic content, you can do more exercises to master. Skill selection: The emphasis is on abnormal psychology/psychological diagnosis/consultation skills, among which abnormal psychology is the most difficult. Need to spend more time reviewing, especially the content of symptomatology. The examples cited in the book are the most important, so we should understand them as much as possible. General case multiple-choice questions combined with counseling skills test. Generally, a case focuses on a counseling method (cognitive behavioral therapy/visitor-centered therapy/aversion therapy/desensitization therapy). You should be familiar with the common test sites listed below: participation skills/influencing skills, normal/abnormal/healthy/unhealthy judgment of psychology, and the differences between the causes and incentives of psychological problems. Generally, there are two psychological tests, focusing on MMPI-2, EPQ, SCL-90, 16_PF and Wechsler intelligence scale. These scales must be passed the day before the exam, because many details are memorized by rote, and short-term memory is better. Most of them are actually relatively simple, and you can get most of the scores. Case analysis: there are generally three types: memory type; Analytical type; Diagnostic type. If you encounter cases that are difficult to determine, you can make the diagnosis a little vague, or play the edge ball, such as diagnosing psychological abnormalities and neurotic psychological problems. This can prevent the examiner from deducting the diagnosis and differential diagnosis scores because the diagnosis is too far apart. Differential diagnosis is mainly the diagnosis points of memory mental disorder, neurosis and general psychological problems. In addition, when writing case questions, write down the main points of each question first, and then supplement the details in detail, so as to avoid giving up all previous efforts because of insufficient time. At the same time, marking before each item can make the organization clear, facilitate the marking teacher to find some points to give points, try to avoid answering a question too long, and make the teacher have little patience to find some points to give you points slowly. Finally, don't panic when you see cases with unclear diagnosis. Calm down and answer questions, because questions based on memory and analysis can still be scored for their diagnostic errors. Only by answering as many questions as possible will the chances of passing be greater. I hope my answer is helpful to you. Please keep asking questions!
