We currently live in an unprecedented time under the shadow of a pandemic. The toll
exacted by Covid-19 ranges from disruption to the way we live our life, our health,
family bonds, relationships, how we make our livelihoods and the world’s economy to
name a few. Our ‘normal’ as we knew it has changed. And mental health issues will be
at the forefront of this fight against Covid-19 as we adjust to a new normal for all of us.
Psychologists and mental health professionals will be the vanguard, being called upon to
manage the psychological fallout from this pandemic in the days to come. As such,
MSCP has adapted guidelines from the Malaysian Ministry of Health (MOH), World
Health Organization (WHO), American Psychological Association (APA), British
Psychological Society (BPS), and the US Centers for Disease Control (CDC) to come up
with guidelines for our members to continue to provide much needed services in a safe
yet effective manner.
Safety, be it for us, the practitioners, and for our clients are paramount. We have listed here some guidelines that will cover the following areas:
In Person Psychotherapy
Tele-Psychology
Psychological Assessment
Working with Children
Group Therapy
Working with Covid-19 Positive Patients
Working with Person Under Investigation for Covid-19
