There is a saying that doctors can't treat themselves, that is, doctors can't treat themselves, but there is also a saying that it is convenient for anyone who knows anything. If there is a doctor at home, minor problems at home can be solved without inviting others or going to the hospital, but the family is seriously ill and needs major surgery, which should be avoided, because emotional factors will lead to great psychological fluctuations and affect the surgical effect. The same should be true in psychology, and the problem of acquaintances can also be solved, but we should also consider whether we will talk about privacy because we are too familiar. This is the main reason for not consulting acquaintances.
But many times, it doesn't matter whether others know about other aspects except sexual privacy, so you should be able to consult. The key is the ability of psychological counselors to solve psychological problems. If the explanation is correct, it doesn't matter whether they can talk to each other's hearts, even if they are familiar with each other. I have also heard several examples of mothers curing their daughters' psychological diseases, sons adjusting their fathers' psychological problems, and wives curing their husbands.
The key is ability. Without ability, you can't solve psychological problems whether you are familiar with them or not.
You can ask this question, which shows that you know something about psychological counseling.
Indeed, as you said, psychological counselors can't give advice to relatives or friends, and they can't have too much communication with visitors outside the consulting relationship.
There is a special rule in psychology, which is called consulting ethics.
The purpose of setting up consulting ethics is not only to protect consultants, but also to protect visitors, and at the same time to make the whole consulting process more objective and neutral and ensure the quality of consulting.
The setting of counseling ethics will prevent psychological counselors from getting too involved in visitors' personal lives, so that they can correctly interpret their psychological problems with more insightful thoughts. Consulting ethics includes trying to avoid establishing a double relationship with visitors, but it is not the only one. The Code of Professional Ethics for Consultants requires consultants to have professional skills, be able to clearly understand their own ability boundaries, and not accept cases beyond their own ability. Consultants should follow the principle of confidentiality to ensure the personal privacy of visitors. The above is the consulting ethics that consultants need to follow. Of course, it is only an important part, not the whole.
Finally, back to your question. Psychological counselors don't establish dual relationships with visitors or can't consult acquaintances, in order to prevent counselors from becoming part of visitors' problems. Not only can this not help visitors, but it may even make visitors' problems more serious because of excessive intervention.
Hello, first of all, we usually refer to psychiatrists, psychotherapists and psychological counselors.
From the relevant provisions of the Mental Health Law of People's Republic of China (PRC), we know that "psychological counselors" have no right to diagnose and treat mental illness, and psychological treatment must be carried out in medical institutions.
Therefore, psychological counselors are not what people call "psychological doctors".
Psychological counseling is a professional relationship with healing function between professional help seekers and psychological counselors. In addition to complying with the relevant contents of laws and regulations, it is also necessary to comply with the relevant requirements of professional ethics.
The situation mentioned by the subject has been clearly stipulated in the moral code.
Article 1.8 of the Code of Ethics for Clinical and Counseling Psychology (Second Edition) of the Chinese Psychological Association clearly stipulates:
The simple description of this professional setting is that psychological counselors can only keep consulting relationship with people who seek professional help, and can't have other relationships. Technically, it's called "avoiding multiple relationships."
Therefore, it's not that you can't be friends with a counselor, but you can't be friends with a counselor and you can't be a visitor seeking professional help.
Why don't psychologists consult acquaintances? Why can't patients be friends with psychologists? There are many exquisite things in it.
1, the relationship outside the clinic will affect the treatment effect.
For patients, if doctors are acquaintances or friends, they will naturally consider maintaining their own image, and many things that are difficult to say will not be said.
For example, complaints about parents, complaints about wives or husbands, extramarital affairs, and some shady thoughts. If you can't say it, the doctor can't prescribe the right medicine and the patient's problem can't be solved.
For a doctor, acquaintances or friends have a fixed impression of him. When analyzing patients, there will inevitably be "prejudice", and the final analysis is likely to be only the patients in the eyes of doctors, not the patients themselves.
This will only waste the time and money of both doctors and patients.
2. It has an impact on subsequent communication.
Even if the patient can open his heart to the doctor during the treatment, the doctor can guide the patient dutifully. What about this clinic? How to get along afterwards?
I believe everyone has had such an experience. Chatting with my friends by candlelight the night before, I cried so badly that I even told my friends that I was stung in the hospital when I was a child.
When I woke up the next day, the first thing I thought was definitely not that my friendship with my friends had taken another step, but my God, how could I say such a shameful thing? I don't feel like meeting him.
Doctors and patients are not strangers, and it is inevitable that they will continue to get along after going out of the clinic.
It would be a little embarrassing if the doctor knew what the patient whispered to his wife or husband at night.
It's best not to involve money between friends.
Just talk about friends' birthdays. For example, when I was at school, there were eight people in a dormitory and six birthdays were spent at school. The birthday boy happily invited everyone to dinner.
The remaining two birthdays will be on holiday as soon as they arrive. After two years like this, Liu Xin will inevitably whisper that everyone will treat you, which is so comfortable that you don't have to pay money every year.
It can be seen that as long as money is involved, no matter how happy things are, there are uncomfortable times. Doctors and patients are friends. After a long period of treatment, the doctor charged according to the price, and the patient felt uncomfortable. Doctors feel uncomfortable when they give patients free medical advice.
Money is the most difficult thing in the world. Don't test people with it.
First of all, most psychologists generally do not consult, because psychologists are generally bio-oriented and mainly prescribe drugs. They are too busy to consult. Counseling is generally done by psychotherapists and counselors.
1, why not do it for acquaintances?
Psychological counselors really don't give formal psychological counseling to acquaintances. First of all, because we are acquaintances, we have to get along with each other on weekdays, and we can't involve some very personal topics, which is not good for solving psychological problems. Secondly, because the consultant will have a stereotype of acquaintances, it will be difficult to be neutral in some aspects, which will affect the consulting effect. In addition, acquaintances do consultation, which may lead to excessive involvement of consultants, leading to fatigue.
However, it is still possible to do some psychological counseling and psychological education occasionally, such as: is my suitor a good boyfriend, quarreling with my wife, depressed mood, rebellious children in adolescence, and high work pressure. Psychological counselors can provide some perspectives from a psychological perspective.
2. Why can't patients be friends with psychologists?
Psychologists really shouldn't be friends with patients. As far as the degree of "patient" is concerned, it belongs to the category of "disease", so it is not a general psychological problem. It is most appropriate for psychologists to maintain their working relationship in order to protect themselves from overdraft and patients from exploitation.
Psychologists have established a working relationship when they treat patients and counselors consult visitors. This relationship has been established.
Such as frequency, duration, cost and so on. You can't be an acquaintance or a friend.
To make the consultation effective, the consultant must first maintain a neutral and objective attitude. If you are an acquaintance, you will naturally bring your feelings and opinions about ta, and it is difficult to remain neutral. This is only bad for visiting treatment, not good.
In addition, why you can't be friends is also based on the same reason, and when you really consult and establish a stable working relationship with the consultant, believe me, you will gradually stop wanting to be friends with the consultant. Because you will feel the benefits of setting, setting is a kind of protection for both consultants and visitors. You don't want to be with people who know what you are doing.
