The mental health of the graduates has been focused by the society. And the work of undergraduates' mental health has been highlighted in recent years. The Information Balanced Psychotherapy(IBT) is established in this study on the basis of the Cognitive psychotherapy and the Bibliotherapy. The IBT was provided considering the various factors, which include the characteristic of the undergraduates'mental problem, the capability of the undergraduates to grasp the information, the preference of the undergraduates'psychological consulting, and so on. The IBT is designed for the mental promotion of the undergraduates in the university.The basic theory of the IBT has been developed. The theory proposes that the mental problem is produced owing to the unadaptable idea, which is not match to the actuality. The production of the unadaptable idea is owing to the unbalance between the different informations or the informations is too little. The more balanceable of the information one has recieved, the more adaptable of the idea. When the informations one received and grasped are unbalaceable between each other, the biased view will be produced. Once the view conflicts with the real condition, the mental problem will formed. The IBT proposes that the idea, information and psychological status interacts each other. In the information dissemination psychology, there are factors including selective attention, selective understanding, selective memory, which will influence the selection of the information. And there is another significant theory in cognitive psychology, which is limited search. Under the function of the former theories, the idea that one has hold will influence the selection of the information, and the information will affect the the forming and the changing of one's idea, and the idea will impact the mental health. A person who holds the unadaptable idea will search the familiar information to support his or her original idea. This will strengthen the original unadaptable idea. And the client will enter into the swart circle. Usually without the external intervention, it is impossible to come out from the circle. In order to break the circle, changing the information was thought to play the role as the interposing point. The therapeutic principle is that the IBT is to search the unadaptable idea. And check the opposite idea, provide the opposite information, ultimately change the unadaptable idea, and urge the information-idea-psychology circle to the better. As a result, the mental state will be perfected.The operating process of IBT has been designed. For applicable clients, the first step is to search the unadaptable idea. To check the concrete content of the unadaptable idea existing in the clients'thought, the skills have been developed, which include Conditions Hypothetical Method, Concerns Analysis Method, Chain Inference Method, Idea Tracking Method, Keywords Searching Technology, and so on, Then the idea which is opposite to the original unadaptable idea will be determined, which is also called opposite information. After the informations that support the opposite idea are searched, the psychological counsellor prescribes the theraputic information, which is Information Prescription(IP). The IP is the core of the IBT.And the requirement of IP has been designed in the study. With the application of the IP, the informations will be presented step by step to the client, which will be more and more deeply in the thought. Besides the information data that should be read or watched, some kinds of other homeworks can be arranged to the clients, which will play the auxiliary function. Several homework form has been designed, including information digestion self-help table, role experience self-help table, ideas believe and self pain self-help table, ideas tracking form etc. The process of completing the homework is just the process of guiding and supervising the individuals to comprehend the information. Under the function of the theraputic information, three stages will go through, which are compliance stage, assimilation stage and internalize stage in sequence. The Role Deepening Theory was put forward in this study. The thoery proposes that the process of grasping the view of the external information include three roles, which are onlookers role, transition roles and master role, three roles correspond to the three phases. The smooth transition of the three phases and the final realization of the internalization of the provided informations, are the most ideal result of the IBT. The clients will realize the inadaptability of the original concept in his or her thought, reconstruct the new motive, and change the unadaptable concept toward the adaptability. In the process of the concept transformation, there are many factors, such as the characteristic of the imformation, and the personality of the client, the characteristics of being hinted, mood, and other factors will influence the effect of the IBT. In addition, psychological effects will play a part in the information transfer and the understanding process, which include deepening effect, strengthening effect, the placebo effect, conformity effect, feedback effect, waterfall effect, etc. the fuction of these effects is uncertain, which can be positive or negative. In this study the influence factors has been taken into full account. And Suggestions were put forward in order to utilize the positive fuction of the psychological effects.The psychological assessment model has been studied using the fuzzy mathematics. The assessment of mental health is the the starting point and the ending point of the psychotherapy. The Fuzzy integral is applied to in the evaluation of mental health. The judgment value is higher when the factor is highlighted and gets high score, and the lower when the factor is ignored and get low score in fuzzy mathematics. This characteristic fit the evalucation of the mental health to the point. Mental health assessment is applied from five aspects, including the duration (T), social function (SF), suffering(S), depression score(SDS score) and anxiety score(SAS score). The weight of each factor has been decided by using the Delphi investigation from 10 mental experts opinion. The comprehensive evaluation has been developed using the fuzzy mathematics calculation. The evaluation score is present by percentage, the higher of the score, the more serious of the problem.And the database software of the information resources has been programmed in this study. It is opening to all the appropriate information and interactive between the users. The information can be searched and download in the database.It provides the facility of the application of the IBT in undergraduates.The IBT makes full use of the information resources and the network resources in the the modern society, and fully bring the psychological self-repairing ability of the undregaduates into play. It is more freely in the therapeutic time and space, counselling staff can do more work in less time. This study will push the psychological counselling towards the empirical direction, because the operation of the IBT is capable to breakthrough the limitation of the personal experience and personality features of the counsellors. The IBT has its limitation. There is difficulty to unify the criteria of the therapeutic information in the information selection. And the counseling process is excessively dependent on the clients' own intention. Moreover, there are too factors and psychological effects to interference the treatment.As a whole, the IBT has been developed as a relatively complete psychological therapy, constructing by the basic theory, application scope, psychological assessment, treating procedures, homeworks, matters needed attention, and so on. The database provides abundant information resources for counseling. The IBT is relative simple, and it is easy to apply in the undergraduates. It provides a strategy to solve the prominent problem in the work of the undergraduates'psychological counselling, which is reflected in the much difference among the level of the university psychological counselling staff and the shortage of the staff.
