What is a psychological counselor?

First, the grade distribution of psychological counselors The national vocational qualification appraisal is divided into three grades. There are three levels: national vocational qualification, national vocational qualification II and national vocational qualification I (not yet open). As a highly knowledgeable profession, this position was directly recognized from the third level. After passing the three-level psychological counseling examination, you can be promoted to become a three-level psychological counselor. Level 3 is a certification of professional level and ability held in China since 2002. From 2006, the qualification examination will be conducted by adopting the new national professional standards issued by the Ministry of Labor and Social Security. They are people who help seekers solve various psychological problems. The most common and main target of psychological counseling is healthy people or people with psychological problems. Healthy people will face many problems such as family, choosing a job, studying and adapting to society. They will expect to make ideal choices, spend all stages of their lives smoothly, exert their abilities and seek a good quality of life. They can provide pertinent development suggestions and give corresponding help from the psychological point of view. Second, the appraisal standard of psychological counselors in China, the Ministry of Labor officially launched the national professional standard (Trial) 5438+0 in April 2006, and formally incorporated it into the China Professional Ceremony [1-2]. In July 2002, the national vocational qualification project was officially launched, and the national unified appraisal examination was held twice a year, in May and June 165438+ 10 respectively. According to the unified requirements of national vocational qualification training and appraisal, those who have been engaged in psychological counseling or are ready to engage in psychological counseling should receive special vocational training and obtain the People's Republic of China (PRC) Vocational Qualification Certificate issued by the whole country before they can engage in corresponding consulting activities. Since the national vocational qualification certification system was piloted in China in September 2002, more and more people have participated in training and learning. According to the relevant provisions of the Labor Law of People's Republic of China (PRC), in order to further improve the national occupational standard system and provide scientific and standardized basis for vocational training and vocational skill appraisal, the Ministry of Labor and Social Security entrusted the China Mental Health Association to organize relevant experts to formulate national occupational standards. 1. The appraisal of this major at all levels includes the comprehensive examination of theoretical knowledge and the assessment of business ability. The closed-book written test is adopted, and the questions are randomly selected from the question bank and graded according to the standard answers. The score of the exam is 100, and more than 60 points are qualified and need comprehensive evaluation. 2. Those who pass individual grades can keep their grades 1 year. 3. Personnel with professional titles in psychology, education and medicine and engaged in clinical and teaching work of psychological counseling may not take the comprehensive examination of theoretical knowledge, and be recommended by the unit and directly submit personal performance data to the expert group to declare the first-class qualification of psychological counselors, and the expert group will conduct comprehensive evaluation. What is a psychological counselor? 2 How to test psychological counselor 1? Psychological counselors can't apply themselves at present. He must go to a training institution to study. The training institution will submit the information of the students for the exam when they reach the standard hours and meet the requirements for the psychological counselor to apply for the exam. This is the fundamental reason why we must attend the training course. In addition, attending the training class will be much more efficient than our self-study. The courses and exercises taught by the teacher are very professional and targeted, which helps everyone to better clarify the basic concepts and ideas. Especially in strengthening the review points, it is helpful to better grasp the key points of the exam. Teachers' systematic review can help us digest some important concepts in time. I took a detour when I was preparing for the exam as a counselor, but fortunately I stopped my loss in time and turned back faster. I really didn't know how to screen training institutions and teachers at first. Some institutions are too expensive and some institutions are too cheap to scare you. There are many chaos and traps in this industry. I almost signed up for a training institution with an above-average price. Before signing up, I was told that I was full of yearning for its future learning process and felt that it must be great. A friend of mine went to this institution, regardless of teaching major. When friends pay the money, the teachers in the organization don't care about anything, and even friends don't reply to messages. Moreover, it seems that the certificate issued by that institution is not recognized by the state, but only the training certificate of their institution. My friend asked that training institution for a refund, but she couldn't find anyone and nobody cared about her. I had no choice but to accept my fate in the end, but for my future, I have to continue to take the exam. My friend turned around and reported to the same colleges and teachers as me. Before entering the exam, I did a lot of homework, read the knowledge of dry goods on countless platforms, and asked many consultants online. I'm careful. Compared with many institutions, it is more expensive to apply for classes, and finally I chose one. The teacher of this institution reported it privately. Why did you choose this? There are only two reasons, price and teaching quality. The price of this institution is very favorable, and their courses are divided into different groups. After the research, I wanted to switch to the psychological counseling industry, so I chose their special class. The original price was 9980 yuan, which happened to be almost 50% off when I met the teacher. It should be extremely low. There are 20,000 to 30,000 other peer institutions, but I am too poor to afford it. The quality of teaching is observed by the free courses issued by the teachers in the early stage. It can be seen from these free introductory courses that some things are really professional and reliable. The teacher who taught me was really good, enthusiastic, experienced, professional and easy to understand, so that I, a beginner with zero foundation, could understand it very well. Later, the teacher sent me PPT or audio-visual materials, which can be used to rub my ears, deepen my memory and consolidate the review effect. Our learning method is a combination of online live broadcast and recording, and we will not learn offline. After all, we are all adults, have our own families and careers, and time is tight, so we can't toss off to study offline. At present, the state is mandatory to complete 75 class hours. At that time, our live class time was fixed, from 7 pm to 9 pm every Monday to Friday. In class, a lecturer is also equipped with three teaching assistants. During the live broadcast, we can learn directly from the teacher. If you have any questions you don't understand, you can always ask the teacher to answer them. Even if we are too busy sometimes, it doesn't matter. We can watch the replay, and the replay is unlimited in time and number. 2 Learn to grasp the key points of review. In the review stage, it is particularly important to grasp the key points of preparing for the exam. After all, the current psychological counselor exam is still 600 points, and there is no need to cover everything. So what is the' focus' of review? Personally, I think that the chapters of counseling psychology, abnormal psychology, developmental psychology and social psychology must be mastered, and the counseling theory and technology of psychoanalysis and cognitive behavior are also the basic skills that must be learned. Especially the contents of the first three chapters, the probability of appearing in the short answer discussion is very high. Don't ask me why I am so clear, because I have passed the exam and I will never change my religion. These points were just summarized by our teacher at that time, so I just memorized them. 3 Reasonable use of review time Everyone's state is always good and bad. When you are in a good state, you should hurry up and recite more. When you are in a bad state, you may wish to do exercise and change your mind to combine work and rest. Also, if you are a lark-type classmate, you can get up early in the morning to recite, and the effect will be better. For owl-type night owls, it is naturally suitable for reviewing at night, but it is not in favor of staying up late, especially reading all night. Reasonable rest is very important. In short, according to their own state and rhythm, reasonable application to review can get twice the result with half the effort. 4 Use a variety of review methods. The conventional review method is nothing more than reading books repeatedly, reciting real questions, doing simulated test papers, brushing questions and so on. I don't know if you have any impression of the content of this chapter on memory in general. The process of memory includes the process of memory, retention, recall or recognition. In order to improve the effect of memory, especially the effect of long-term memory, it is very important to use meaningful coding methods instead of rote learning. You can try to fully mobilize the five senses, fully activate the brain and avoid review fatigue by watching videos, listening to audio, looking for someone to pull your back, asking yourself and answering questions, and combining recitation with writing.
