How to prepare for the second-level psychological counselor efficiently?

Three books, Basic Knowledge, Level 3 Skills and Level 2 Skills, are teaching materials for the level 2 examination of psychological counselors. Psychological tests account for a very low proportion in the whole examination.

First of all, from the theoretical knowledge,

There are many knowledge points in the theoretical knowledge test, but you can still try to remember them. Do more questions and do more real questions and exercise books over the years. Practice makes perfect. Relatively speaking, the skill test paper is more difficult.

Second, for practical skills.

It is divided into two parts: case indefinite test and case question and answer.

Vocational ability evaluation mainly examines three skills: psychological diagnosis skills, psychological counseling skills and psychological testing skills.

1, "Case Uncertainty" exam content

The examination of case uncertainty generally consists of eight to twelve cases; Each case is divided into "general information" (the natural situation of the helper), "self-report of the helper", "supplementary information" (or information learned by the counselor), "extracted information" (or interview information) and "psychometric results".

Candidates answer the relevant questions behind the case according to the content given in the case. Generally speaking, according to your own situation, you can also browse the questions first and then look at the cases, which is more targeted. It is suggested to do more related topics or read all the cases in the book. This will make you less nervous during the exam. Sometimes, the case on the test paper is the original content in the book. However, don't lose sight of the cases on the test paper. If you change the time, it may interfere with the diagnosis.

2. "Case Uncertainty" test scope: involving basic theory, consulting technology, measurement technology, diagnosis technology, etc.

3. The proportion of "case uncertainty" test: 60% of the total score of "skill test" (level 2)

4. Mastering the content of study: Level 3 candidates must focus on the following contents: (1) The process of psychological diagnosis, master the three principles of distinguishing diseases from non-diseases, and be able to make a preliminary diagnosis; (2) Basic psychological counseling skills can identify the skills used by psychological counselors in dialogue; Be able to preliminarily analyze the nature and type of impedance; Master the basic concepts, theories and implementation process of positive reinforcement method and reasonable emotional therapy; (3) Four commonly used psychological tests, focusing on personality test, psychological behavior rating scale and stress-related test, and mastering the basic concepts, subscales and operation methods of intelligence test. On the basis of mastering the above contents, the second-level candidates also need to master: (1) differential diagnosis, focusing on the differentiation between neurosis and neurosis and normal psychology, and the differentiation between organic psychosis and neurosis subtypes; Can make cause analysis from three levels: physiology, psychology and society; (2) Pay attention to counseling skills, focusing on Baker-Remy's cognitive therapy. Other therapies need to understand their basic concepts and principles, and multiple-choice questions are the main questions in the exam. Group counseling skills are not the focus of skill examination. (3) In terms of measurement skills, it is necessary to master the two-point coding of MMPI and the difference between MMPI-2 and MMPI, and review four profiles of 12/2 1, 13/3 1, 68/86 and 28/82 for the two-point coding. For the interpretation of SCL-90 score, other scales should understand the basic principle, use method and standard.

It belongs to the non-standardized part of the national vocational qualification examination. The local labor administrative department is responsible for organizing relevant experts and scholars to score at the designated time and place.

(5) You can make some mental preparations for some languages, basic theoretical knowledge, and hot issues in social life in advance, so as to be aware of them, but don't memorize them.
