【Abstract】 We used the word “psychological consultation” in this article with its broad sense, and we analyse the connection between the Free Software Movement and social mental health based on a viewpoint of psychological consultation which is broadly understood. The FSM itself was provided with a nature of psychological consultation which takes the public as its patient.
