How can I find a reliable psychologist?

In today's China, even when buying milk, consumers need to keep their eyes open, let alone see a psychologist. So, how do you make sure that your psychiatrist is professionally qualified? In the following aspects: 1. Understanding of academic and professional courses: Under normal circumstances, bachelor degree or above, degrees in medicine and psychology, plus systematic psychological counseling or treatment courses, will be the prerequisite for a qualified psychologist. The former has proved his learning ability, while the latter has proved that he has enough professional knowledge. 2. Accepting professional supervision and practical experience: During their professional training experience, qualified psychiatrists will have a long internship and supervision process, of which no less than 1 year (200 psychological counseling hours). Teachers who guide internships should be recognized in the industry, because good teachers can easily train qualified apprentices.

Time for self-experience: No matter how smart or famous psychologists are, they all need psychotherapy. Generally speaking, the number of psychotherapists who receive psychotherapy within an hour is directly proportional to a person's psychological consciousness, which is an essential ability for a qualified psychologist. In Chinese mainland, few psychologists have received long-term treatment, so this may be an important sign of judgment. If the psychiatrist tells you that he has never received "psychotherapy", then you should not go into his consulting room. Fourth, is it recognized by the professional community: is it an "insider" in this industry? Because "insider" is more of a professional ethics.

At present, the professional and reliable word-of-mouth communication association is the professional registration system of clinical and consulting psychology of Chinese Psychological Association. This is accepted by the professional community, and it is the need of higher requirements. It is necessary to abide by professional ethics, so that the system can accept psychologists, which is generally more reliable, at least without help.

Due to the limitation of professional ethics, psychological counselors usually don't give psychological counseling or treatment to relatives and friends, which is called "avoiding multiple relationships". When she is in public media or media activities, she is very careful to avoid talking about their private information or visiting patients, but she is not a professional psychological counselor or psychotherapist who works in the media spotlight under hypnosis, because it can't protect the privacy of visitors and even hurt visitors or patients.
