Features: We know that when humans face hardships from the outside world, they often need to draw on spiritual strength to support and resist. However, when a person's spiritual world is in crisis, they become fragile and vulnerable. Scientific research shows that approximately 10% of people worldwide have experienced varying degrees of psychological disorders at different stages of their lives. Some of them are fortunate enough to receive help or save themselves, while others struggle, sink into despair, and even collapse because they need help but do not receive timely assistance. One of the key features of this book is its rich collection of case studies. Every substantive explanation in the book is accompanied by cases, with both positive and negative examples provided when necessary. The descriptions of the cases are extremely vivid and detailed, making the reader feel as if they are hearing the voices, seeing the people, and peering into their hearts. This makes the various operational methods described in the book more dynamic, vivid, and, easier to understand, and helps create a close connection between the author and the reader. Moreover, the cases cover a wide range of topics, from general psychological issues to various mental disorders, providing valuable references for case handling and greatly enhancing the book's practicality. The language of the book is concise, lively, and, yet it remains engaging and readable. It is worth noting that to preserve the original essence of the book and make the translation more accessible to Chinese readers, Dr. Zheng Weilian, the translator, has devoted great effort. As a book introducing basic methods of psychological counseling, it is suitable for professional helpers such as counselors and psychiatrists, as well as informal helpers like teachers, doctors, nurses, community workers, and supervisors.
