Discuss with Teacher Xu Kaiwen

text|Yuan Yunlu

Professor Xu Kaiwen is rich in learning five cars, full of economics, and has deep attainments in the field of psychological counseling and has a huge impact.

Today I saw a public account article "Xu Kaiwen: The mental health industry is already in the air, how to develop? ",

I have read it several times, and sincerely admire Mr. Xu’s tireless professionalism and caring for the development of my country’s mental health industry.

deeply agrees with the views of Mr. Xu's speech.

Although people are quiet, I still have the courage to raise some questions and want to discuss with the teacher.

Now many scholars have realized that the reason why my country's mental health industry is unsatisfactory is that there are problems in the thinking and concepts of the competent authorities: whether it is a combination of Chinese and Western—Chinese-oriented, Western-based, or anti-practice What's the way to do it?

Although Professor Xu's report also emphatically mentioned the development of Chinese-style psychology, the specific way to go is still ambiguous in the report, and there is no clear-cut thinking.

Personally feel that the prospects of the mental health industry are not in the consultants themselves, nor in state capital investment, but the National Health Commission and the top-level design philosophy that leads the development of the consulting industry: whether psychological counseling is biased toward traditional Chinese culture or Western culture?

does not clarify the question of direction, talking about "localization" and "landing", in fact, it is still a Western psychology.This is the biggest problem.

Over the years, the country has invested a lot of money in the national mental health industry, but what is the actual effect?

are all in the water? Does the taxpayer's money flow into foreign countries and minority interest groups?

Many scholars have questioned this way. I also agree with this view.

Many psychological counseling agencies are dedicated to satisfying people's curiosity, how to hang people's appetite, enticing hooks, establish various psychological counseling industry chains, and engage in deceptive and harmful activities.

From the structure of psychological counselors, we can see some clues:

In recent years, flying from north to south to participate in various psychology conferences across the country, and most of the psychological skills training are women . This group likes chasing the wind and pursuing fashion. No matter what the purpose of the other party, as long as they feel good about themselves, everything is fine.

Why does China have more and more psychological problems in recent years?

Do not ask why the current mental hospital is overcrowded? Of course, from the perspective of certain hospitals, patients are getting better and better, but what about us people?

Although there are more than 1 million certified consultants in China, the number of consultants who are actually employed is less than 20%.

Where is the problem?

The courses in our university, do they copy foreign experience and become dogmatic? Does it lack the ideology of independent innovation?

Undergraduates of higher education institutions in my country,Master and doctoral students, are their majors competent for psychological counseling? Can it solve the actual psychological problems of the Chinese people?

Freud 's psychoanalysis, can you analyze the Chinese values?

Humanistic Psychology in the West Does solve Chinese thinking?

Western cognitive behavioral therapy can change the three views of Chinese people?

The answers to the above questions can be found below.

The number of mentally ill and mentally unhealthy people is increasing year by year, and after seeking help from a mental institution, the problem becomes more serious (not absolute); the more you go to the mental hospital for treatment, the worse the situation (not absolute).

Like traditional Chinese medicine, China is not without indigenous psychological theories. In fact, as early as thousands of years ago, China had the thought of Chinese culture to save the soul of human thought. Wang Yangming's Xinxue has reached its peak, especially the core values ​​of socialism are the magic weapon to solve psychological problems, not psychology. Learn to introduce from the West.

China is not without practical psychology talents. In fact, many experts in solving difficult psychological problems are in the private sector, not in universities, hospitals or research institutions.

Indigenous Chinese psychology lacks room for development.

we don’t deny,Western psychology is useful in the context of Western culture, but in the context of Chinese culture, Western psychology cannot be copied, and must be combined with the actual situation in China, otherwise it will lose its scientific meaning.

Some people say that science knows no borders. But psychology is different from natural science. As a subjective discipline,

is closely related to the culture of a country and is inseparable.

left the Western mainland and transplanted to China, you have to "go to the countryside and follow the customs" to respect Chinese culture, otherwise the consequences will be serious.

Just as Professor Wang Qicheng of Hebei University said: Our psychology is going in the wrong direction and destroying the country’s talents. Few people practice their internal skills to do research, and the country’s investment is in the water.

The above is representative of myself, but also the thoughts of some scholars.
