Special Requirements for Practical Psychologists
Abstract
The article discusses the activities of a practical psychologist and the requirements for his specialty. It is noted that one of the important conditions for a practical psychologist is to have the necessary experience in working with children. Along with the general requirements mentioned above, a number of special requirements are also given for his activities. Among these requirements, the requirements for the work of a practical psychologist in separate areas — for example, psychodiagnostics, psychocorrection, work with “difficult” children, children with developmental delays, etc. — occupy an important place. One of the important conditions is for a practical psychologist to have deep knowledge, skills, and habits in the field of interpersonal communication. In order to successfully work with psychological methodologies, rules, their design, verification, and evaluation of results, a practical psychologist must also have the necessary knowledge and skills in mathematical statistics, programming, and computer work, as well as the ability to use them.
