Psychological counselors should maintain their professional standards in their work, recognize their professional, ethical and legal responsibilities, safeguard their professional reputation and assume corresponding social responsibilities.
Working principles of psychological counselors
1, confidentiality principle
Respecting privacy and keeping secrets for visitors are the minimum professional ethics and ethical requirements of consultants.
2. The principle of being responsible for visitors
The complete significance of psychological counseling is to make the visitors' personality more independent and complete, and their lives more fulfilling and happy, rather than relying more on others. The purpose of consultation is to seek the happiness of visitors.
3. The principle of unethical evaluation
Counselors don't judge the morality or value of visitors. Psychological counselors are life counselors of visitors, not spokespersons of social norms.
4, the principle of equality
The relationship between psychological counselors and visitors is an equal partnership in a specific sense and a constructive and professional personal relationship.
5, * * principle
Listening and homophonic, unconditionally and actively paying attention to visitors, and accurate understanding are the guarantee of consulting effect.
6. Voluntary principle
The visitor's desire for help is the premise of establishing the consultation-visit relationship. If your family has psychological problems and refuses to accept help, you may wish to consult yourself and see how to help your family.
7. Understand the principle
The essence of a consultant's job is to provide an atmosphere, actively guide and accurately understand, so that visitors can know themselves and help themselves.
8. One-way principle
Psychological counselors should pay attention to avoid the influence of multiple relationships. In general, it is inappropriate and unprofessional for a consultant to visit at the invitation of his family or guardian.
9, the principle of form
Psychological counseling should be conducted in a prescribed place according to the standard. Consultation talks are by no means the same as making friends and chatting, nor do they provide similar services.
10, professional principle
People who are eloquent, knowledgeable, experienced, understand or like psychology may not engage in psychological counseling.
1 1, compensation principle
Consultants charge visitors according to the "rental time", and consultation interviews must be conducted at a fee. Free counseling is not real psychological counseling.
12, principle of timeliness
Any formal consultation meeting should have the length and frequency of the meeting. Generally speaking, South Island psychological counseling recommends 1-3 times a week (for visitors to choose), each time lasting 50 minutes. An interview without time setting is extremely inefficient and irresponsible to both consultants and visitors.
