Pre-Conference Workshop on Pluralistic Therapy by Prof. Mick Cooper
We are pleased to offer a Department-Exclusive Pre-Conference Workshop, “Pluralistic Therapy: An Introduction”, delivered in person by Prof. Mick Cooper. This is a valuable opportunity to learn directly from a leading figure in Counselling Psychology here in Hong Kong.
The pluralistic approach to counselling and psychotherapy recognises that different clients may benefit from different therapeutic methods at different points in time, and emphasises collaborative dialogue between therapists and clients about their goals and how best to work towards them. This emphasis on respecting individual differences, multiple perspectives, client preferences, and collaborative practice closely reflects the values of Counselling Psychology, including respect for clients’ subjectivity and agency, responsiveness to diversity, and an openness to different therapeutic approaches.

不由自主拔頭髮 情緒在叫救命！
拔毛症（Trichotillomania）又稱「拔毛障礙」或「拔毛癖」，患者反覆拉扯自己的毛髮，難以自制。由美國精神醫學學會出版的《精神疾病診斷與統計手冊第五版》（DSM-5），將拔毛症劃入「強迫症及相關障礙」。以往曾歸類為「未另行分類之衝動控制疾患」。
屬「強迫症及相關障礙」
香港樹仁大學輔導及心理學系助理教授唐家豪表示，拔毛症成因分為先天與後天；先天是指遺傳了家族成員容易焦慮、緊張、抑鬱，抗壓力較低的性格傾向；後天則是患者因難以承受日常生活壓力，逐步誘發出拔毛行為，希望藉此調節緊張與焦慮，短暫釋放壓力。
