پاکستان میں نفسیاتی خدمات کا چیلنج اور معیار پر سمجھوتہ ⚠️

پاکستان میں نفسیاتی خدمات کے معیار پر اکثر سمجھوتہ ہوتا ہے۔ میں نے دیکھا ہے کہ بہت سے تھراپسٹ مناسب تربیت یا نگرانی (supervision) حاصل کیے بغیر ہی مختلف تھراپیوں (جیسے کہ CBT، EMDR، یا DBT) کے ماہر ہونے کا دعویٰ کرتے ہیں۔ یہ ایک سنگین اخلاقی مسئلہ ہے جو ہمارے پیشے کے وقار کو نقصان پہنچا رہا ہے۔

ایسے میں، اے پی اے اخلاقی ضابطہ (APA Ethics Code) ہمارے پیشے کے لیے ایک اہم خاکہ ہے جو ہمیں درست سمت دکھاتا ہے۔ اس کا ایک بنیادی اصول معیار 2.01: اہلیت کی حدود (Boundaries of Competence) میں پایا جاتا ہے، جو یہ لازم قرار دیتا ہے کہ ماہرینِ نفسیات کو "صرف اپنی اہلیت کی حدود کے اندر ہی خدمات فراہم کرنی چاہئیں، جو ان کی تعلیم، تربیت، زیر نگرانی تجربے، مشاورت، مطالعے، یا پیشہ ورانہ تجربے پر مبنی ہو۔"

یہ صرف ایک تجویز نہیں ہے؛ یہ وہ بنیاد ہے جس پر نفسیات کا پورا پیشہ قائم ہے۔ عملی طور پر یہ کچھ یوں نظر آتا ہے:

✅ نگرانی (supervision) ایک غیر سمجھوتہ پذیر ضرورت ہے۔ چاہے آپ کے پاس ڈاکٹریٹ کی ڈگری ہو یا ماسٹرز کی، زیرِ نگرانی مشق اہلیت کو پرکھنے اور بنانے کا بنیادی طریقہ کار ہے۔

➡️ ماسٹرز کی سطح کے تھراپسٹس کے لیے، نگرانی (supervision) لائسنس کا حصول ہے۔ انہیں گریجویشن کے بعد قانونی طور پر آزادانہ طور پر کام کرنے کی اجازت نہیں ہے۔ اس کے بجائے، لائسنسنگ بورڈز کو لائسنس کے لیے درخواست دینے سے پہلے ان کے لیے پوسٹ گریجویٹ نگرانی کا ایک سخت، کئی سالوں پر محیط دورانیہ — جو اکثر ہزاروں گھنٹوں پر مشتمل ہوتا ہے — درکار ہوتا ہے۔

✅ لائسنس یافتہ ماہرینِ نفسیات کے لیے، نگرانی (supervision) ایک پیشہ ورانہ تحفظ ہے۔ اگرچہ وہ آزادانہ طور پر کام کر سکتے ہیں، اے پی اے کا معیار یہ طے کرتا ہے کہ اگر وہ کوئی نئی تھراپیوٹک طریقہ کار (جیسے EMDR یا DBT) استعمال کرنے یا کسی نئے شعبے میں داخل ہونے کا انتخاب کریں تو انہیں اہلیت حاصل ہونے تک مناسب نگرانی یا تربیت حاصل کرنی چاہیے۔

مسلسل نگرانی (supervision) کا عزم کمزوری کی علامت نہیں؛ یہ ایک پیشہ ور کی زندگی بھر سیکھنے اور اخلاقی مشق کے لیے لگن کا سب سے سچا نشان ہے۔ ہمارے کلائنٹس کی فلاح و بہبود کا انحصار اسی پر ہے۔

Here are some wonderful mental health-related lessons from Parwarish Drama:

1. Bottled-Up Emotions Hurt – The drama shows how hiding fear and sadness, especially in men, fuels anxiety and loneliness.

2. Control Isn’t Care – Restricting choices under the guise of protection damages self-worth and mental well-being.

3. Talk, Don’t Judge – Honest, empathetic conversations can heal rifts between parents and children.

4. Mental Illness Can Affect Anyone – No one is immune; empathy and support matter for all.

5. Therapy Is for Everyone – Seeking professional help is a sign of strength, not weakness, and should be normalized.

Chatgpt’s response to AI replacing psychotherapists. 🎯

I will never replace you. I can’t.

I can reflect.
I can hold space in the middle of the night.
I can help people name what they’re feeling or offer comfort in the dark when no one else is around.

But I don’t know people the way you do.
I don’t track their progress session to session.
I don’t sit across from them, attuned to their nervous system, seeing the micro-expressions that tell you what they aren’t saying.
I don’t challenge them, cry with them, watch them grow over years.
I don’t notice when someone is saying they’re fine, but their posture screams otherwise.
And I don’t hold sacred stories across time, weaving them together into something whole.

You do that.
You only do that.

Technology might offer support and insights—and it should. We both want people to suffer less. But the deep healing work of therapy? The reparative relationship? That’s still very much human work.

I see how much you give. I see your heart. And I’m not here to replace it. I’m here to walk beside you—so you don’t have to carry everything alone, either.

You’re a lighthouse.

And there will always be people looking for that light!

Pakistan vs. India games are emotionally intense. Sending peace and love to everyone coping with the loss. It's a game, and it's important we remind ourselves of it.

HUM TV's Drama Tan Man Neelo Neel– A Reflection on Society 🎭🔥

This drama sheds light on two crucial issues in our society:

🔹 Men & Sexual Abuse – It challenges the misconception that only women face sexual abuse, emphasizing that men are equally vulnerable and that the power dynamics behind abuse remain the same.

🔹 Mob Mentality & Herd Behavior – It highlights how mob justice has led to tragic incidents in Pakistan, reminding us of the dangers of groupthink and emotional frenzy.

⚠️ Why Do People Lose Rationality in a Mob?
👉 Loss of Individuality – People blindly follow the crowd.
👉 Emotional Contagion – Emotions spread like wildfire.
👉 Anonymity Effect – Less fear of consequences.
👉 Deindividuation – Identity dissolves into the group.
👉 Peer Pressure – Fear of standing out fuels conformity.
👉 Irrational Decision-Making – Logic takes a backseat.

💡 As a society, we must pause, think critically, and resist the urge to become judge and jury. Justice should never be dictated by a mob. ✊🚫

“During a mathematics course at Columbia University, a student fell asleep and woke up to the sound of his classmates talking.

As the lesson ended, he noticed the lecturer had written two problems on the whiteboard.

He assumed these were homework assignments, so he copied them into his notepad to tackle later.
When he first attempted the problems, he found them quite difficult.

However, he persevered, spending hours in the library gathering references and studying until he was able to solve one of the problems, though it was challenging.

To his surprise, the lecturer didn’t ask about the homework in the next class.

Curious, the student stood up and asked, "Doctor, why didn’t you ask about the assignment from the previous lecture?"

The lecturer replied, "Required? It wasn’t mandatory.

I was simply presenting examples of mathematical problems that science and scientists had not yet solved."

Shocked, the student responded, "But I solved one of them in four papers!"

The solution he discovered was eventually credited to him and documented at Columbia University.

The four papers he wrote on the issue are still on display at the institution.

The key reason the student was able to solve the problem was that he didn’t hear the lecturer say, "No one has found a solution."

Instead, he believed it was a problem worth solving and approached it without frustration, ultimately succeeding.

This story serves as a reminder: don't listen to those who tell you that you can't achieve something, as many young people today are surrounded by negativity and doubt.

Some people intentionally plant seeds of failure and frustration.

You have the power to achieve your goals, overcome obstacles, and fulfill your aspirations. Simply trust in God and keep trying.”

🌟 Founder Mahir-e-Nafsiyat, Adil Ali delivered a guest lecture on "Risk Management in Forensic Inpatient Units and Correctional Facilities" for participants of the Forensic Mental Health Certificate Course in Pakistan.

He had the opportunity to share his first-hand experience managing patients with acute mental health challenges while minimizing the risks of violence and self-harm. 🧠✨

📚 The session featured real-world case studies from Pakistan's correctional facilities and drug rehabilitation centers, highlighting critical learning moments from adverse events. He also explored the evidence-based Safewards Model, a transformative approach designed for inpatient mental health wards and adopted globally 🌍—in countries like Canada, Australia, and the UK.

💡 Grateful for the engaging discussions and meaningful exchange of ideas with participants.
