Features: This book was revised with the support of the British Embassy's Cultural and Educational Office. It is a manual on the concepts, theories, and methods of women's psychological counseling hotlines, as well as a collection of hot issues concerning contemporary Chinese women. The content of the book is divided into three parts. Part 1 introduces the fundamental concepts that the women's hotline adheres to, such as volunteer spirit, feminist perspective, and respect for gender differences, along with relevant knowledge. Part 2 emphasizes the idea that a good counseling relationship is more important than counseling techniques, and that every caller can become their own best psychologist. Hotline counseling is a mutual benefit and a process of helping others and helping oneself. Part 3 mainly covers topics such as adjusting to marriage and family, dealing with domestic violence, legal knowledge, common sense of women's physiological health care, common sense of sexual issues, and mental health knowledge. This book is not only suitable as a work manual for hotline counseling but can also serve as a self-help manual for women with a junior high school education or higher.
