我国高校心理咨询中的法律困境

Legal Dilemmas of Psychological Counseling in Colleges and Universities of China

心理咨询的专业化发展需要法律的规范和保护。由于缺少针对高校心理咨询工作的法律法规,高校心理咨询面临多种法律困境,其中包括缺乏心理咨询师主体身份的法律依据、容易出现多重关系的法律责任、在为有精神疾病/心理障碍诊断的学生提供心理咨询以及对自杀、自伤危机干预过程中存在法律风险。因此有必要进一步完善《中华人民共和国精神卫生法》,并尽快推动"心理师法"等相关新法律出台,制定高校心理咨询管理办法以及提升高校心理咨询人员专业水平和法律意识,促进高校心理咨询的规范化发展。

The professional development of psychological counseling requires a standard and protection of law.As a result of the lack of laws and regulations targeted at the counseling work of colleges and universities,psychological counseling of colleges and universities faces multiple legal dilemmas including the dearth of legal basis for the identity of psychological counselors,the easiness of the occurrence of legal duties for multiple relationships,the legal risks for providing psychological counseling to the students diagnosed with mental illness or mental disorder,and legal risk in the crisis intervention of suicide or self-harm.In view of this,it is essential to further consummate the Mental Health Law of the People’s Republic of China,and to promote the legislation of the Act of Psychologists as soon as possible,to enact specific administrative regulations,and to improve the legal consciousness and professional competencies of the psychological counselors and clinicians working in colleges and universities,promoting the standardized development of psychological counseling in colleges and universities.
