生命健康语境下的隐喻叙事——以儿童疑难疾病为例

Metaphorical Narrative in the Context of Life and Health:Taking Intractable Diseases in Children as an Example

隐喻叙事作为一种意象在儿童心理干预研究中效果显著。隐喻叙事是人类认知世界的重要方式,其本质是源域与目标域这两个观念域之间的跨域映射。以儿童疑难疾病为例,阐明隐喻叙事在儿童疾病叙事、生命健康教育、疾病科普传播、疾病告知以及治疗沟通中的重要性,旨在唤起更多研究者对隐喻叙事的关注,积极将隐喻叙事应用于临床,引导疾病主体消除恐惧,接纳疾病,以实现医患视域融合,积极配合临床治疗。创造恰当的隐喻可帮助患者走出心理困境,重构积极健康的生命故事。

Metaphorical narrative, as a kind of image, has a remarkable effect on the research of children’s psychological intervention. It is an important way of human cognition of the world, and its essence is the cross-domain mapping between the source domain and the target domain. Taking intractable diseases in children as an example, this paper illustrated the importance of metaphorical narrative in children’s diseases narrative, life and health education, disease science popularization, diseases notification, as well as the treatment communication. This paper aimed to arouse more researchers’ attention to the metaphorical narrative, actively apply metaphorical narrative to clinical practice, guide disease subjects to eliminate fear, accept diseases, so as to achieve the doctor-patients’ vision fusion and positively cooperate with clinical treatment. Not only can an appropriate metaphor help people get out of psychological difficulties, but it can renew a healthy life story.
