诠释学与心理治疗

心理治疗的效果研究显示,尽管各种治疗方法在理论基础上不一致,但治疗过程中实际的人际互动有可能会产生相似的治疗效果。这对于心理治疗专业形成了一个理论与实践的悖论。本文探讨了根据海德格尔、伽达默尔的哲学诠释学在心理治疗领域的应用含义,提出了心理治疗的诠释学模式或取向,并讨论了治疗性对话中的叙事、修辞、释义的诗性维度。

Outcome research into psychotherapy shows that therapeutic approaches may all be equally valid forms of therapy despite the mutually exclusive theories on which they are based. That poses a true dilemma for the profession as which theoretical position ,if at all ,it should take. This paper tries to introduce the basic tenets of a hermeneutic approach to psychotherapy, based on the works of Heidegger and Gadamer. It outlines a narrative - hermeneutic mode of therapy and shows how this can allow for the rhetorical, interpretative and poetic dimensions of therapy-in-action.
