情绪是心理健康的根本标志——评心理卫生和心理教育活动中的情绪消灭论

Emotion being the fundamental symbol of mental health——Discussion on the theory of eliminating emotions in mental health and psychological education activities

情绪是个体认知到自己的需要满足或者受挫时的正常心理反应,负性和正性情绪都是个体生活的必要心理活动,而现行的心理学和心理学家却以消灭负性情绪乃至某些正性情绪为己任,无论是心理卫生中的心理保健和治疗,还是心理教育中的心理咨询和辅导,都在发明和运用各种情绪消灭方法和技术,以至于整个社会都认为情绪表达是心理不健康的表现。必须纠正这种错误的导向,树立情绪是心理健康的根本标志的意识。

Emotions are the normal psychological reflection of an individual when he realizes that he needs to be satisfied or frustrated.Both negative and positive emotions are necessary psychological activities for an individual to live.However,the current psychology and psychologists take the elimination of negative emotions and even some positive emotions as their own responsibility,whether it is mental health care and treatment in mental health,or psychological consultation and guidance in psychological education.They are inventing and using a variety of emotional elimination methods and technologies so that the whole society believes that emotional expression is the performance of mental health.We must correct the wrong direction and set up the idea that emotion is the basic symbol of mental health.
