What is the psychologist?
There are different kinds of psychologists. Among them, the most frequently contacted for help with personal, educational, and career needs are the clinical and counseling psychologists. While school and developmental psychologists are already available in the Philippines, very few people take advantage of their services. Perhaps not many people know about their availability or the value of their contribution.
What is the clinical/counseling psychologist?
Some concerns ay beyond the expertise of school counselors who have not specialized. Examples are behavioral disorders, kleptomania, learning disabilities, personality disorders, or cases of victimization or trauma. Counselors may turn to clinical psychologist for diagnosis and treatment of these cases.
What is the school psychologist/developmental psychologist?
Through diagnostic evaluation, the school/developmental psychologist can identify students in need of counseling or beyond. He/she may help to diagnose the developmental and educational needs of the clientele and propose programs that would best meet such needs like enrichment, remedial, individualized instruction, and other customized program.
What is the psychiatrist?
Before the public became aware of Clinical Psychology in the Philippines, some schools had psychiatrist consultants to whom they referred students with special needs. There is a growing recognition of the clinical psychologist’s capability to handle emotional disturbance or clinical problems which used to be considered the domain of psychiatry. However, cases are still referred to psychiatrist when the client’s status requires medication or when there are strong indicators of psychosis.
What is the social worker?
Today, with the physical and sexual abuses that take place at home, the absence of parental figures, and substance abuse of family members, social workers seem to be more indispensable. Social workers visit homes, talk to the family members, and determine how children can be helped best, given the home situation. Their access to the home gives them a broader and deeper understanding of the child.
