过程心理学与同情心

Process Psychology and Sympathy

论述了过程心理学之于同情心的哲学机理,以及同情心在心理治疗过程中的重要作用。今天的世界正面临着人口过剩、环境污染、生态退化、资源紧缺、国际纷争等等巨大挑战,除了要采取一切可能的实际行动来解决这些问题之外,还需培养一种对地球以及所有居住者更深层的体恤和关怀。这种更深层的体恤和关怀与"同情"密切相关。若要避免由上述问题引发的灾难,必须要学习如何培养并激活对世界对他者的同情心。

Based on process psychology,this paper focuses on the metaphysics of compassion and its significance to psychotherapy.Our world today is confronted with great challenges：overpopulation,pollution and ecological degradation,dwindling resources,and international strife on many fronts,to name just a few of the more pressing problems.Along with all the practical actions that will be required to address these issues,we will also need to cultivate a deeper sensitivity and sense of caring about the planet and towards all its inhabitants.This notion of a deeper sensitivity and caring is closely related to compassion,understood as concern or sympathy for the sufferings of others.If we are to avoid catastrophe,we must learn how to cultivate and activate our compassion for the world and for one another.
