According to Article 22 of the Beijing Mental Health Regulations, the establishment of a profit-making psychological counseling institution shall be registered with the administrative department for industry and commerce according to law and obtain a business license.
The staff of the industrial and commercial business handling window of Beijing Dongcheng District Administrative Service Center said that the business of psychological counseling institutions could not be handled because there was no such option on the form and there was no precedent for handling it before, even with the pre-approval of the medical and health departments.
After checking the relevant records, the staff of the Industrial and Commercial Bureau in another district of Beijing also said helplessly: Theoretically, it can be handled, but there is nothing he can do because there is no precedent for handling it.
According to the regulations, pre-registered business projects refer to projects that should be reported to the relevant departments for approval in accordance with laws, administrative regulations and the State Council decisions before an enterprise applies for registration. For-profit medical institutions, including psychological counseling institutions, can be pre-approved through the "Practice License for Medical Institutions" issued by the municipal or district health bureau.

Nationwide, this embarrassing situation is not a case. Xiao Wang, a staff member of Hangzhou Industrial and Commercial Bureau, is quite touched by this phenomenon: he has also met two or three people to handle it. But this industry has not been liberalized in Hangzhou, and there is nothing we can do. He tried to reflect this problem to the higher industrial and commercial departments, but in the end he failed.
On the one hand, the industrial and commercial departments refused to register, on the other hand, the market demand encouraged psychological counseling institutions to operate quietly, which actually brought uncontrollable risks to the development of psychological counseling industry. An expert who asked not to be named raised his concerns. If it is not properly managed, it will bring the risk of' bad money driving out good money' to the psychological counseling and treatment industry. "
People's Network-industrial and commercial registration can't pass? Psychological counseling institutions often "operate illegally"
