Features: This book is based on practical counseling needs and targets students from several universities. It conducts sample questionnaires among students, several focus group interviews with university students, and a symposium with teachers from over 10 universities who are engaged in mental health education and counseling for college students. Based on these practical survey results, and considering general personality growth and development psychology, we have refined several important themes, which form the content of Chapters 2 to 9 in the book. The book analyzes and discusses the confusions and worries encountered by college students in various aspects, such as environmental adaptation, self-awareness, personality shaping, emotional management, stress coping, interpersonal relationships, sexuality and love, learning strategies, job hunting and career choice, and proposes multiple methods and strategies for psychological adjustment, resolving distress, and improving relationships. In terms of writing style, the book emphasizes the combination of theory and practice, teaching and training, readability and operability, to help college students improve their awareness of mental health and theoretical knowledge, master the methods and approaches of self-psychological care, and enhance their mental health level.
