Ministry of Human Resources and Social Security cancelled the professional qualification examination for psychological counselors. At present, there is no corresponding government department directly under the jurisdiction of this industry. It is considered that there is no strong supervision, evaluation and assessment system for the growth system of employees under the situation of leaderless and mixed fish and dragons.
Academic institutions headed by the Institute of Psychology of Chinese Academy of Sciences have been trying to establish corresponding professional associations of consulting psychology, but their popularity and influence in the whole country are not high. Moreover, some people with ulterior motives are bluffing in this field under the signboard of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, which makes some people have a bad impression on it. Regarding this matter, the Institute of Psychology of the Chinese Academy of Sciences also made a rumor on CCTV.
The basic situation now is that other universities, such as Beijing Normal University and South China Normal University, have their own wonderful performances in this professional academic field, but there is no backbone to preside over this industry.
I also talked with some teachers in the same industry, and asked how the government would arrange this industry in the future. At first, we predicted that psychological counselors would be included in and subordinate to the social work system. Therefore, if you really want to engage in a career with strong altruism, you can still consider taking a social worker qualification certificate on the basis of learning psychological counseling knowledge (this certificate belongs to Ministry of Human Resources and Social Security. For details, please see China Personnel Examination Network or the website of your province for relevant information. )
At present, the profit targets of the industry are mostly newcomers, not visitors who need help.
At present, some teachers hold the qualification certificates of Grade III and Grade II psychological counselors certified by Ministry of Human Resources and Social Security, and some teachers take the basic training exam set by the Institute of Psychology of Chinese Academy of Sciences independently after canceling the psychological counselor exam in Ministry of Human Resources and Social Security at the end of 20 17, referring to the job evaluation difficulty of the former Ministry of Human Resources and Social Security in 2005.
Basically, these credentials can be used as a stepping stone to get started. But as a professional, the training after getting the certificate is much more complicated. At present, the service object of psychological counseling operation is not visitors, but newcomers and teachers who want to continue value-added learning after research.
At the beginning of this year, after the outbreak of COVID-19 epidemic, my teacher called on all our counselors to participate in very meaningful psychological assistance activities, basically wiring during the day and training at night. In different software and APP trainings, our personal information will be more or less exposed to operators. After that, in March and April, I received invitations with different titles, such as "Psychological Society" and "Psychologist Conference". I hope everyone will pay the bill without exception, but its authority and authenticity are very confusing.
In addition, some "psychological colleges" regularly hold courses on different topics, some for parents, some for consultants, and the quality is also very good, spreading the corresponding psychological basic health care knowledge for the society. But some of them are really mixed fish and dragons, purely for profit, unsystematic in content and lacking in depth and influence.
3. The entry threshold is low, and the qualification examination is single, so it is impossible to comprehensively examine the ability and personal quality of employees.
Maybe you will think that it is better for young people who have graduated from undergraduate or graduate schools to do professional work.
I don't think so. First of all, this industry not only can objectively and scientifically understand people's psychological phenomena, but also needs certain life experience. It is difficult for a psychological college student who has been well protected by his family since childhood and has little life experience after graduation to deeply understand, respect and treat fairly the life story behind a visitor in his fifties with years of malice and affection.
Maybe you will think, if so, wouldn't it be equally cured to find an old man who knows the world to chat with you?
However, this is also true and false, not that simple. Because the conversation in the consultation process is purposeful, not the conversation and advice of ordinary friends: "Well, what's the problem? Eat and drink, don't take things to heart ..." Many conversations between these friends are about instilling individual life values, rather than disinfection, analgesia, bandaging or even deep treatment according to the psychological pain points of visitors.
The real psychological consultation process is sometimes a battle of wits and wits between counselors and visitors in thinking and psychology, crouching tiger, hidden dragon, and even swords and shadows.
What the psychological counseling industry needs is a soul with both professional knowledge and practical skills. After being beaten by the ugliness of society and human nature in a down-to-earth way, it is still very strong, stable and positive. Only they can be competent for this kind of work which is both ferry and guiding.
At present, the entry threshold in this field is mostly about three months' study, so you should memorize it before the exam (it is best to add a practical training course to the training run by the Chinese Academy of Sciences) before taking the exam. But there is no way to assess other aspects of employees, such as: cultural accomplishment, personality (why I emphasize this, I will talk about it below), experience and so on.
The above is "What is the current situation of the domestic psychological counseling industry?" "I hope it will help everyone. Generally speaking, the future development prospects of psychological counselors are still good. Interested friends can give it a try, learn more about it, pay attention to Bian Xiao and keep it updated.
