At Peking University, Xu Kaiwen, PhD, is the supervisor of the university's Counseling and Psychotherapy Center and helps students for free. Off campus, he is a psychiatrist at different hospitals and psychological centers that may charge 500 to 1,000 yuan ($73 to $146) per one-hour treatment.
Xu is one of the only 33 psychological trauma therapist in China and he is concerned about the psychological crisis that is besetting many of China's universities.
Sitting in his small clinic on campus, Xu said new measures are needed to prevent high-risk students from committing suicide.
