南传佛教人文关怀实践在心理治疗中的独特价值

The Unique Psychotherapeutic Value of Theravada's Practice of Humanistic Care

南传佛教人文关怀的实践技术体系并非现代学科意义上的心理学,但其中所包含的多重内涵却诠清了心理疾病的形成、运作、实质,提供了如何"旁观"心病、如何"追溯"病根等根治心理疾病的理论与方法,并展现了一种以"无染本心"为考量的生命境界,用现代心理学的话语来讲即是一种"优质的心理品质"。在此意义上,南传佛教人文关怀实践体系不但为现代心理学提供了重要借鉴,还对解决人类的精神危机,实现生命的超越价值有着重要的影响和作用。

Theravada's practical techniques for humanistic care are not'psychological'in the modern sense of the term.However,the theories behind the techniques spell out how a mental illness is formed,how it operates,and what its essence is,besides offering approaches and principles for'objectively watching the illness'and tracing its origin for its complete eradication.Through the techniques,a realm of life of the uncontaminated pure mind is unfolded,this,in the exact sense of modern psychology,is'Good psychological qualities'.Therefore,Theravada's practical techniques for humanistic care can serve not only as a valuable reference to modern psychology but also as a means to solve the spiritual crisis of modern men for a transcendental value of life.
