A college student with a bright future has become a wanted man who kills without blinking an eye —— The Ma Jiajue incident highlights the problems existing in college students' mental health education. Professor Liu Huizhen, director of the Institute of College Students' Mental Health of Guangxi University, believes that overemphasis on personality and personal development is not conducive to the cultivation of college students' sound personality.
Ma Jiajue is a very contradictory person.
Professor Liu Huizhen said that college students are all young people in their twenties. Psychologically, they are in a sensitive period to gain intimacy and avoid loneliness. Whether college students' physical self, psychological self and social self can be integrated determines their personality development direction.
"Ma Jiajue is a very contradictory person." Liu Huizhen believes that in the hearts of parents, he is a silent and obedient son; In the eyes of middle school teachers and classmates, he is a good student and has no friends, but his grades are excellent; In the eyes of college students, he is a withdrawn and violent person. "Ma Jiajue's contradiction is mainly the contradiction between social self and physical self, which leads him to be unable to handle the relationship between individuals and others and the collective, become a college student with dark psychology, withdrawn personality and serious psychological problems, and finally embark on the road of killing people." "It is worth noting that due to the long-term neglect of mental health education in colleges and universities, the mental health problems of college students are becoming more and more prominent." Liu Huizhen said.
Don't overemphasize personal development.
Liu Huizhen believes that this generation of college students have the same psychological characteristics, that is, they are smart and studious, and pay attention to personal development, but they also have a prominent weakness, that is, they need guidance in dealing with the relationship between individuals, collectives and society. Because they are in an era that pays attention to talents and publicizes individuality, and there is great pressure and fierce competition in choosing a job, the collective concept of college students is diluted and the relationship between classmates is relatively weak. "How to deal with the relationship with roommates" has also become a common question for college students in psychological counseling.
Yang, a full-time teacher at the Institute of College Students' Mental Health of Guangxi University, said: "The' 2.23' murder case in Yunnan University fully shows that in training and evaluating college students, personal development and personality should not be overemphasized, and college students' mental health and sound personality are equally important." Personal consciousness is too strong, unwilling to listen to different opinions, unwilling to suffer losses, and paying too much attention to their own interests. Once there is friction with them, it is easy to make things big.
Mental health education must be popularized.
Yin Jian, secretary of the Youth League Committee of the School of Culture and Communication of Guangxi University, said that over the years, colleges and universities have been expanding enrollment and the number of students has been increasing, but the school infrastructure and teaching staff have not kept up. Because there are not enough dormitories on campus, many students live off campus, which brings great difficulty to management, and it is also difficult for class teachers and counselors to grasp the psychological dynamics of students. At the same time, public opinion overemphasizes the independent development of college students, weakening their sense of collective identity and belonging. Therefore, mental health education is more important.
Liu Huizhen believes that colleges and universities must promote mental health education and hold more psychological lectures on sound personality. Especially for those introverted students, we should encourage them to participate in group activities, educate them according to their personality characteristics, make use of the situation and open their hearts. Class teachers, counselors and ideological and political teachers should also master some mental health knowledge and strengthen mental health education for students, that is, cultivate their independence and their cheerful, open-minded, understanding and tolerant personality.
