What are the famous Chinese psychologists in America?

What should I do if I encounter something I can't figure out? In America, people either consult a psychiatrist or go to church to confess to a priest. Like going to church to seek psychological relief, psychological counseling is an American "routine". Due to the pressure and indifference of life, there are more people suffering from mental illness in the United States. According to statistics, 26.2% of adults over 0/8 years old in the United States/KLOC have had mental illness or seen a psychologist. As common as taking cold medicine. "In order to save our marriage, Hillary and I sought psychological counseling separately, once a week for a year. This is the first time in my life to open my heart and openly talk about my feelings, experiences, attitude towards life and views on love. I don't like my past. This made me very painful, and I had to face an unfortunate childhood and a painful growth process. I know I am tired, angry and lonely. I'm ashamed of what I did wrong. I try to find a psychological balance. After long-term psychological counseling, Hillary and I started talking, and we got to know each other again. " This is a monologue in the autobiography of former US President Bill Clinton. At that time, Clinton's sex scandal was exposed by the media, and his wife Hillary fought a "cold war" with him, and their spirits were tortured. Although you are the president, Clinton also needs psychological counseling. Recently, the famous American golfer Tiger? 6? 1 Woods "crashed" into a sex scandal in a car accident, which discredited him and forced him to receive psychotherapy. A Chinese American high school student was late for school first, and then began to play truant. The school first talked with counselors and students, then psychological counselors did psychological counseling, and then parents took their children to see a psychologist, which finally solved the child's psychological problem: the child was in a trance because of online dating. Psychological counseling has become an indispensable part of American life. In their words, receiving psychological counseling is as common as taking cold medicine. The reason why Americans regard mental illness as a common thing is that they can face it bravely from top to bottom without discriminating against and alienating "mental patients". As a famous German psychotherapist said, those who think they are mentally healthy are not really mentally healthy, but people who dare to face psychological problems. Zhang Xiaodong, a sociologist at the University of California, San Diego, believes that mental illness is an inevitable product of social development. In the case that material life is difficult to meet, psychological problems are relatively few; With the development of economy and the improvement of material living standards, psychological diseases will become more and more prominent. In the process of China's modernization, citizens' psychological problems will become increasingly prominent. Lin Cimin, a doctor of psychology in Southern California, said that Americans dare to face their own mental and psychological problems, and they don't think it is shameful to see a psychiatrist. However, many people in China have different views. Even Chinese in the United States are not as brave as Americans when facing psychological problems. They only go to see a psychiatrist when necessary. In this regard, to receive psychological counseling and treatment, we must first cross cultural differences and psychological barriers. A Perfect Psychological Counseling System The psychological counseling industry in the United States began to flourish in the late 1950s and early 1960s, and gradually developed and improved. One of the bills played an important role. 1963, then US President Kennedy signed a document to establish a community mental health center. After the enactment of this Act, psychological counseling and treatment institutions of all sizes have mushroomed in American towns and communities. 1972, the president's mental health committee responsible for solving the president's psychological problems was formally established as the White House office. This means that from the president to the ordinary people, they can receive psychological counseling and see a psychiatrist at any time. At present, there are more than 280,000 clinical psychologists, social workers and mental nurses in the United States, and there is about one psychologist for every 1000 Americans. Psychologists are also divided into many grades. To be a psychologist who can prescribe medicine and do psychotherapy, he must be a medical college graduate or above, majoring in psychology. At the same time, he should be a relatively healthy person and be able to properly handle his own psychological conflicts. This is not an easy task. In contrast, a doctor of psychology can only do psychological counseling and treatment, but can't prescribe medicine. Master students can also do psychotherapy, but they cannot do psychological tests. The mental health of teenagers is the focus of the American government. The American Psychologist Association believes that every thousand students need to be equipped with a school psychologist. Therefore, at present, more than 90% kindergartens, primary schools, middle schools and universities in the United States basically have psychological counselors and psychologists, or permanent specialized institutions headed by professionals, such as "school-based support groups" composed of school psychologists, social workers, education evaluation experts, student counselors and speech therapists. These psychological counseling experts and institutions stationed in various schools can provide daily psychological counseling, psychological diagnosis, psychological counseling, evaluation and intervention services for students, parents, teachers and school systems at any time. In addition to schools, large companies, government agencies, hospitals and military and police departments in the United States have also set up psychological consultation institutions under the Ministry of Human Resources, with psychologists and psychological counselors doing "ideological work". When dealing with hostage crisis or preventing suicide, the police often send psychologists to shout first in order to solve the problem without using force. Pastor is a "psychological worker" in the American army, and should help soldiers to do ideological counseling and eliminate their fears. When patients panic during hospitalization due to surgery or serious illness, the hospital will send psychologists to chat with patients to help them improve their confidence. The social demand for psychological talents has also driven the rapid development of school psychological education. According to the data, in 1954, only 28 universities in the United States offered psychology majors, of which only 10 universities were eligible to award doctoral degrees. By 1999, there were 2 18 universities in the United States with psychology majors, among which15 universities could be awarded doctoral degrees in psychology, which provided an important talent guarantee for the construction of psychological counseling and treatment professional teams. Of course, the cost of seeing a psychiatrist in the United States is not low. Generally, the charge is between $70 and $200 each time. However, some non-profit service organizations do not charge, and some only charge $ 10 to $80 each time. If psychological counseling is included in medical and health insurance, you don't have to pay for it yourself, so most Americans with medical insurance almost always pay for their psychologists. The United States has formulated strict laws and ethics for psychologists and counselors, such as strictly prohibiting the disclosure of any privacy of patients. Clinton himself can frankly admit that he has received psychological counseling, but his doctor must not show off that the president has let him receive psychological counseling. However, if the patient has obvious suicidal tendency, the psychologist will remind the patient's family members to be vigilant. For those patients who are prone to murder or other violence, psychologists also have the responsibility to inform the patient's school or work unit and the police station so as to take corresponding preventive measures. This is a legal requirement that psychologists must implement and does not conflict with the right to privacy. Psychological intervention to cope with the crisis Whenever natural and man-made disasters occur, it is also very important for the government and the public to provide psychological counseling to help the victims tide over their psychological difficulties in addition to providing material help. 1992 riots in los Angeles, 1994 northridge earthquake in los Angeles, "9? 6? After the "11"terrorist attacks and the New Orleans hurricane, the government basically provided material assistance first, and then psychological counseling and counseling. It is difficult to solve the suffering of the victims who lost their homes and relatives by material assistance alone, and it is necessary to do both. After the financial crisis broke out, many houses in the United States were auctioned because they could not repay their loans. Coupled with the high unemployment rate, the number of people seeking psychological counseling and counseling has increased greatly, and the workload of psychologists is huge. According to statistics, in the first quarter of this year, the number of people seeking psychological counseling in the United States increased by 10% compared with the same period last year. It is precisely because most people who encounter problems get psychological counseling in time that the stability of people's lives and the security and stability of society are guaranteed.
