1, confidentiality principle.
The principle of confidentiality is a basic principle in the process of psychological counseling, which is not only the requirement of professional ethics, but also determined by the nature of psychological counseling itself. Psychological counselors have the responsibility to protect the privacy of those seeking professional services, and at the same time, they should realize that this privacy is protected and restricted by national laws and professional ethics in content and scope.
Respect the autonomy of help seekers, reflect the integrity of psychological counselors, avoid harm to help seekers, and make them feel safe. Conducive to the establishment of a good consulting relationship.
2. Trust principle.
The meaning of the principle of trust protection: based on the consideration of maintaining the stability of legal order and protecting the legitimate interests of social members, when social members form reasonable trust in the invariance of certain factors in administrative procedures, and this reasonable trust is worth protecting, the administrative subject can not change these administrative procedures, or can reasonably compensate the loss of trust of social members after changing administrative procedures.
Whether the principle of trust protection is a constitutional principle or a general principle of administrative law has long been controversial in German public law circles. From the evolution history of this principle, we can see that the principle of trust protection was first cited as a general principle of administrative law in the cases of German state administrative courts after the First World War.
3, the principle of professional ability.
The main purpose of consultants is to help visitors analyze problems, cultivate their positive mentality, establish their self-confidence, let their psychology grow and find their own solutions to problems. When the problems faced by visitors are beyond the professional ability of counselors, counselors should actively and timely refer visitors to appropriate psychological counseling institutions.
4. Time limit principle.
Psychological counseling must abide by certain time limits. Each consultation time is generally about 50 minutes (it can be extended appropriately when it is accepted for the first time), and the consultation time or interval cannot be extended at will. The establishment of consultation-visitor relationship is the key to the smooth development of consultation work, and it is also the psychological communication and way between consultants and visitors. But there are limits.
Visitors' persuasion and requests, even if they are well-intentioned, should be rejected before terminating the consultation.
