According to research, about 17% people in China meet the diagnostic characteristics of one or more of the following mental diseases: anxiety, emotional disorder, psychosexual disorder, substance dependence and abuse, sleep disorder, schizophrenia, adaptation disorder and other common mental diseases, and are not considered as "personality disorder".
At present, there are two ways to treat mental illness, one is to find a doctor; The second is self-help, and the most important thing is scientific self-help.
After reading Pushing Open the Door of Psychological Clinic, we will pay more attention to our mental health and get some ways to save ourselves. Although we can't reach a specific solution for everyone individually, we can find our psychological troubles through reading and actively obtain qualified and effective mental health services.
Many people with mental health or mental illness can't get timely treatment. One reason is that there are few psychologists, and the other is the lack of psychological knowledge.
The preface of this book first introduces the categories of psychologists: psychological counselors, psychotherapists, clinical psychologists, professionally trained social workers and psychiatrists. The difference between the two is that psychological counselors serve people with mild psychological problems, especially those who do not constitute the diagnosis of mental illness; Psychotherapists mainly serve people with serious psychological problems but no mental illness; Clinical psychologists generally work in colleges and universities; Psychiatrists mainly use drugs to treat serious mental illness. Social workers are professionals engaged in community health promotion.
But it is worth noting that no matter how these "experts" introduce themselves, only those who have been specially trained in psychotherapy or psychological counseling can be regarded as psychologists. Psychologists have a very high threshold to identify whether psychologists are qualified professionally: 1, academic qualifications and professional courses; 2. Accept professional reading and internship experience; 3. Hours of self-experience; 4. Whether it is recognized by professional associations. Knowing this knowledge is the basic right of the helper. If you can't get this knowledge, don't take risks.
The book is divided into three parts. The first part is: interpersonal feelings; The middle part is: the dilemma of self; The next part is: the courage to live. This book introduces cases in a relaxed tone. Every case is a "psychological story". This is an interesting and informative book. I am very happy after reading it, and I can gain knowledge about mental health.
As the saying goes, without some relevant knowledge, it is difficult to find and treat mental illness in time, which has a great impact on our life and work. And "Pushing the Door of Psychological Clinic" popularized your knowledge of the most basic judgment of your mental health, so it is very necessary to read it.
