Each professional will work because of their nature, have the potential to bring some of its practitioners the psychological trauma. However, if these wounds hurt you, you can only learn to endure in silence it?
Which industries highest level of psychological trauma, "It is widely believed that the police should be the most strong, almost no one think they will be affected by trauma. In fact, the police most likely to hurt the profession." Yi Chun Li, Department of Psychology, Peking University, said Dr. In other countries, police are counseling regulars. Because they are constantly being exposed to this kind of psychological trauma.
Hong Kong film "Infernal Affairs", the Kelly is a service of police officers played by counselors. Yi Chun-Li said, the role of police officers is very important to them.
Smuggling case in Dover, 60 Chinese illegal immigrants were stuffed inside a van ready to be smuggled into Britain, the only vents on the truck is turned off, resulting in 58 deaths due to asphyxiation. Yi Chun-Li stressed that the only two survivors on board is a traumatized persons, who are two families of the victims were hit, and all contact with the police massacre site is hit by the third class. Especially those not prepared before, was suddenly exposed to the "tragedy screen" in the border police, they may therefore be having nightmares every day, if not in time, the trauma may be repressed, in the coming days there slowly symptoms. So these people after the incident is absolutely necessary for trauma counseling.
What we have done long ago, the Ministry released data show that in 2003, a total of 476 Chinese police civilian sacrifice, 6,076 civilian police wounded, including a data of particular concern "because of overwork at the expense of in the workplace up to 212 civilian police, "police in the data accounted for at the expense of considerable proportions.
According to reports, because the average age of the public at the expense of the police is only a little more than 30 years of age. Colleagues working at the expense of comrades who had their trauma is secondary, if not well handled, the unit's morale will be affected. "Turning the secondary trauma, there are already many units began to pay attention to this problem, but because they are aware of the 'disaster' is often the scene of the three wounds were ignored." Yi Chun Li warned that traumatized people are often poor sleep, lack of interpersonal safety, do not trust other people, but they are unexplained, even with symptoms of work. This fact and the capacity does not matter, but a normal psychological reaction.
In order to avoid the police as premature death, the Ministry has been in the country since last year introduced "compulsory vacation" system, and is working to establish a regular physical examination system, standard system of physical exercise, and to protect the personal safety education and training system as the core , to negotiate with the relevant authorities to establish civilian casualties because of the public insurance system.
These initiatives are very laudable, but in the mental health system was established, including trauma counseling, apparently not on the agenda.
Not just the police, journalists, doctors are very susceptible to three trauma. Yi Chun-Li said, such as emergency department medical staff, psychologists, disaster reports, and other war correspondents, they are susceptible, these occupations are also high-risk occupational psychology. This is also in charge of personnel of modern raised new demands.
Yi Chun-Li that we can do, because when a disaster due to professional reasons such as exposure to the scene, if participants can not actually deal with this, there is no ability to respond to the environment, then this will make them a sense of unfettered Psychology more injured. "Practitioners only to protect themselves, he did something to someone more human. If they even have contempt for their own lives, then they can hardly goodwill and humanity of others." Therefore, many high-risk occupational psychology practitioners should think of ways to protect themselves first.
Yi Chun-Li in high-risk occupations who suggested before work, including at the university during the time to start training myself how to protect themselves, and what is important, what protection they need, what to do later processing, there What kind of emotions is normal ... ... which are engaged in these occupations should be aware of before.
What are the most prone to trauma industry to give priority to this area of ??literacy, for example, can be pre-invited experts to give lectures to learn how to prevent injuries, who are more vulnerable to trauma, how will the trauma, to be careful at work something. You can even set the number of university-related content, such as journalists in the industry, telling the future practitioners, what the industry may experience psychological problems, you need any help, where to get help, and what you can get the form psychological counseling.
In short, this is a systematic project, which requires all the efforts and attention.
