Imitating psychological patients is becoming a popular part-time job among
Shanghai youth.
Professional psychologists said this practice benefits both the person
impersonating patients and the would-be psychologists.
According to the professionals, an aspiring psychologist must solve at least
50 such simulated cases to become qualified.
And the imitators, by acting as patients, can also let out their daily
pressures and tension, thus becoming healthier.
As more people now want to become psychologists than in previous years, there
is a huge demand for imitators.
