How to understand the restrictive principle and neutral principle of psychological counseling

The restrictive principle of psychological counseling means that psychological counselors should abide by certain restrictions in the process of counseling, such as not exceeding their own professional scope, not making decisions on behalf of customers, and not revealing customers' privacy without authorization. These restrictions are aimed at protecting the rights and interests of clients and ensuring the legal relationship between consultants and clients.

The principle of neutrality means that psychological counselors should maintain an objective and neutral attitude in the consultation process, and do not make value judgments or personal opinions to visitors, so as to ensure the fairness of the consultation process and the autonomy of visitors. Consultants should minimize their influence, let clients think and explore problems independently, and make their own decisions on this basis.

These two principles are indispensable and important principles in psychological counseling. The two complement each other to form a safe and stable counseling environment and provide customers with good counseling services.
