pshychological analysis, I post my question here.
I think that many Chinese students in US who think or doubt if they have
pshychological problem/diease because they always want the best,but can't
temporily or even unluckly never reach what they desire. Hence lose the
pshychological balance.
My question is: What should one expect from his therapist in this case?

发帖数: 527 | 2 Do not think Therapist can fix your problem. They can help you identify your
problems, make recommendations for what you can do to deal with the problems.
But it is you who are the ultimate person to make a decision about your behavior.
In the case you proposed, the therapist would probably help you identify
the irrational thougts (e.g. I have to be the best in everything, or I
am not good at anything.) that you may unaware of. The therapist will have

loneliess, divorce, financial problem blah,blah. He need not turn to

Suggestions are always what one could imagin: social activity, good schedule,
travel ...except giving you some pills to supress the activity of some zone in
your brain.

发帖数: 245 | 4 I think a more important question for one to ask "oneself" is "what do I
expect for my life?" Then if one thinks counseling or psychotherapy may help,
one can search for a therapist who is helpful for one to make positive changes
toward one's own expectations. Of course, a lot of times, one of the many
things a therapist can help is to find out what the client wants for his/her
life, or more specifically what goal(s) he/she want to achieve during the
process of therapy, and then how to bring for

发帖数: 527 | 5 First of all, even when you are aware of your problems, you may not realize
your perceptions about your problems are not reasonable or what psycholgists
will call as " distorted, irrational" thoughts. problems do not become
problems until you think they are problems. Most people will encounter
life stressors like joblessness, loneliness, familiy dysfunctioning. If they
can handle them or do not regard as problems, stressors will not lead to
depression.
Second of all, psychologists have the o

发帖数: 245 | 6 It is generally NOT recommended for the therapist to offer suggestions. I
think, psychotherapy provides a safe enviroment and an opporutnity for the
client to explore and understand him/herself better, and achieve personal
growth, which results in and is reflected by more effective coping and
problem-solving, and improved quality of life. The therapist is the
facilitator during the process. It is not for therapist to offer the client
solution and strength, but to help the client see his/her own
