Increasingly, I read on the internet about the possibility to get psychological help-line. And I resent the amount of the alleged "psychologists" who are engaged in such services, advertising them as effective. Actually, I think that Currently in our country simply catastrophic situation in practical psychology. Lack of licensing of this sort of activity leads to the fact that the clinical psychologist can call itself is not enough that people without special education, but also the far mentally disadvantaged. Because of this psychology, it becomes a practical understanding of major science, is really capable of helping people, in a perverse quack chatter, and the profession of psychology becomes like a grandmother's fortune-telling activities.
It is impossible to cure a person from a photograph just can not help on the internet. The letters show a man can only a product of his mind. The fact that he can independently interpret and explain himself. A real psychologist has to deal with quite a different psychic structure – part of the unconscious mind, manifestations of which are well read in feelings, behavior and nonverbal reactions. So many problems are diagnosed at a time when the psychologist observes the contradiction between the information that a person speaks, and his behavior. For example, recently me came a woman whose child gave symptoms of mood disorders and depression.
Family recently went through a divorce. However, at a reception client said that she and her husband were divorced by mutual consent, retain good and friendly relations, but the son often and enjoyed talking with her father. And if I had not seen this woman, but just read the letter that she neglected to tell me I'd never realized that she is in a state strongly suppressed aggression, and feels her son, in response to this – the state of depression and guilt. So that on-line conversation, just a correspondence between two people, one of which is hidden from this assistance, hard not wanting a real decision, and the second – a megalomaniac or a charlatan, or an amateur. The only thing you can do on the internet, is to define the nature of the problem and recommend appropriate the direction of psychology, the most effective coping with such problems. And yet, on purely human support. Let's not true to the psychology of how to magic, but as a serious science, with its own capabilities and its limitations. And do not believe any nonsense.
