According to Fars news agency’s health group, Abbas Masjidi Arani, the head of the central committee for monitoring the fifth election period of the country’s psychological and counseling system organization, said in a press conference with media members held at the Ministry of Health, Treatment and Medical Education: the date of registration of candidates for the fifth election period of the organization The psychological and counseling system of the country started yesterday, July 6th of this year and will continue until July 13th of this year, and the day of holding elections for the Central Council and Board of Inspectors will be Friday, August 27th, 1402.

He added: We hope that the psychology and counseling community of the country will determine the fate of this class well for the next 4 years with its strong presence. Because the maximum participation of psychologists and counselors in this election is necessary.

The head of the central board for monitoring the fifth election period of the country’s psychological and counseling system organization stated: According to the law, these elections must be held once every four years, but due to several reasons, this period of time has now reached seven years and the rights of the relevant members have been ignored. In this regard, reports have been sent to the presidential institution.

A member of the faculty of Shahid Beheshti University of Medical Sciences stated: In March of last year, a resolution on how to hold the fifth round of elections was defined by the Council of Ministers. It was the rights of the members of this organization who have been deprived of holding fair and participatory elections for 3 years.

Masjidi Arani continued: Now supervisory and executive boards have been formed all over the country, yesterday was the first day of registration for this election and a significant number of counselors and psychologists also registered, and this is a sign of the association’s acceptance of a healthy competition.

He added: All psychologists and counselors are invited to participate in this competition to cooperate and choose responsible options. The head of the Central Committee for Monitoring the Fifth Election Period of the Psychological and Counseling Organization of the country, criticizing the lack of work of the organization in holding the general assembly since its formation, said: Since the formation of this organization, the general assembly had not been held and finally in 1400 with the follow-up of the representatives of the ministers. For the first time in the history of the formation of the organization, the general assembly, which is the most important pillar of the organization according to the law, was held.

He admitted: Of course, the ruling team did not implement any of the related approvals, and this is considered a serious violation, and the supervisory board will definitely deal with this non-cooperation.

Masjedi Arani stated: “Tehran Regional Council elections have never been held in this organization since its establishment, but the supervisory and executive board of this period has the approval of the supervisory board to hold it in the fifth period of elections.” There have also been suggestions that this competition should not be held at the same time as the elections of the Central Council and the Board of Inspectors.

He clarified: No one can engineer the elections of the Central Council of the Psychology and Counseling System.

The representative of the Minister of Health in the central council of the organization emphasized: from all members of the guild and activists in the field of psychology and counseling, as well as graduates who have served in public and private centers; Participation is invited. In the past, elections were rigged due to problems in the relevant regulations. This means that the president and the central council based in the organization, while running for the election, also appointed the supervisory and executive boards, which were mostly the officials of the organization and friends of the gentlemen, and with the government’s intelligence in the new decree, no one can engineer the election.

He said: All tastes should be present in this election. The representative of the Ministry of Science, Research and Technology and the representative of the Minister of Health, Treatment and Medical Education will also be present in the competitive composition of the executive board; There is no conflict of interest, and some of the current deputies of the organization are also present to make the necessary arrangements for holding the elections.

Masjedi Arani continued: The composition of the monitoring board also includes representatives of the Ministry of Health and Science, a representative of the Attorney General’s Office, a representative of the Ministry of Interior, and one of the representatives of the Islamic Council.

Shahid Beheshti University of Medical Sciences faculty member added: Currently, some groups have launched a gold war and are talking about nationalizing the elections. The Organization of Psychological and Counseling System of the country has been delayed for 3 years in holding these elections; Guild members choose options for 4 years, but now this competitive process has lasted for 7 years and no preparations have been made to hold elections, and after 4 years, the supervisory board considers this group illegal.

He added: In this psychological operation, some are looking for polarization. They should defend their performance and actually present their report card to the country’s psychology and counseling system organization and avoid marginalization. Now your notification is from the head of the government, so if it is an objection to the nationalization of competitions, your notification is also unofficial. Criticizing the lack of a chairman in this organization for 6 months despite the existence of more than 40,000 members in this group, this official stated: In the fourth election period, a chairman has not been chosen for the members of the organization for 6 months, and the options proposed by the president The predecessor (Hassan Rouhani) was not approved and the relevant decision was not issued, and finally, with some lobbying, the current president received a decision from the president, which, if accepted, ended in February of last year. Now, since the beginning of the 1400 days, the representatives of the ministers have put all their efforts into holding elections and will never allow election engineering.

Masjidi Arani stated: Some people are talking about disrupting the work of the representatives of the ministers, this crowd should speak in a document. Referring to the recent decision of the Administrative Court of Justice, the head of the Central Committee for Monitoring the Fifth Election Period of the Psychological and Counseling Organization of the country said: According to documented reports, only 5,000 of the more than 40,000 members of this group have received work qualification confirmation. Graduates of this field should not wait for our taste. It should be treated scientifically. There have been protests from the trade union to the government.

He added: People should not pay heavy tariffs to receive psychological and counseling services, this organization has suffered abuse, rent-seeking and violation of the rights of union members and people in recent years, and the cases have remained silent in this regard.

The head of the central board for monitoring the fifth election cycle of the country’s psychological and counseling system organization, referring to some violations of this organization, said: some members of the central council of this organization lack relevant educational qualifications; That is, they do not have a degree in psychology or counseling. Do these people have the authority to make decisions for the graduates of the guild? Also, issuing individual professional activity licenses and real and legal centers against the principles and rules of the organization is also considered as one of the violations of the organization.

Masjidi expressed: For example, for some people who do not have any education related to psychology or counseling, they issue licenses for offices or real and legal centers; While some of our master’s or doctorate graduates have remained in the queue of specialized commissions for 10 years.

Emphasizing again the violations of some members of the Central Council, he stated: The investigation of the supervisory board has shown that 4 of the members of the Central Council of the organization did not have degrees in psychology or counseling, and with unrelated degrees such as a doctorate in educational sciences, curriculum planning, and a doctorate in education. They work in this direction.

The head of the central committee for monitoring the fifth election cycle of the country’s psychology and counseling system organization noted: Once again, we invite the civilized psychology and counseling community of the country to run for office in the elections, with maximum presence at the polls, to create a bright future for this country. Create a powerful and hardworking class.
