Abstract

<p>Over time, the need for psychologists has increased. Accordingly, I introduce my current work as a new field. Based on my past experience, I report on the duties and roles of psychologists. Currently, I am working as a psychologist at the center for the Promotion of Health and Employment Support, which provides support for balancing treatment and work for “cases where it is difficult to continue working or return to work after taking a leave of absence, even if there is motivation and ability to work.” I work with nurses and MSWs to provide psychological assessment and support. I not only work with mentally ill patients, but also with various diseases such as cancer and chronic diseases. It seems that the same way of understanding and dealing with diseases that require holistic medical care, such as the physical, psychological, and social aspects of psychosomatic medicine, is required. It is a consultation service and not medical treatment. Even now, I think that working independently and functioning as a psychologist are important issues. I believe that the same question applies to other areas.</p>
