Is it illegal for a counselor to do this?

The confidentiality principle of psychological counseling is limited, and it is necessary to truthfully report the personal problems of visitors when they are questioned by health, justice or public security organs. This is because the practice of consultant W violated this principle from the beginning. In addition, if supervision is needed, information that can identify personal information should be hidden (consultant W did not specify whether the name of the visitor in the case he published was an alias or something else) to minimize the privacy exposure of the visitor.

In addition, the so-called consultant's supervision is also incorrect. Indeed, the supervisor can ask his superior adviser for help, but there is also circular supervision. That is to say, as other mature consultants, he is an outsider in this case, and he can help consultant W analyze this case if he has the ability.

Third, the consultant W posted the information of the visitors on the Internet, and did not explain it afterwards, saying it was supervision. This has nothing to do with the counselor's professional ethics, but a personality problem! And W said, "Since this case is of great significance to the development of my personal psychological counseling, I want to show it and share it with you." Psychological counseling is self-help. What W said is meaningful and understandable to my psychological counseling career, but you can't sacrifice others for yourself! There are many case studies on the internet, which can be said to be examples of visitors in life, but everyone doesn't know who they are and what they mean. Counselors should pay attention to protecting the privacy of visitors! And many people can learn and help from it. So there is nothing wrong with sharing itself. But know what you're sharing. It's not people's privacy, it's the problem itself

Finally, this consultant is so embarrassing!
