三明见闻

国内各种新闻传播媒介曾多角度地报道过三明市的社会主义精神文明建设的成就。百闻不如一见。5月,笔者来到闽西北林海中的三明市,在农村、     

寒假见闻

寒假,我回到故土兰州。1月30日晚,在电视上看到江泽民总书记接见宗教界领导人,中国道教协会、中国道教学院院长黎遇航在总书记身边就坐,我感到非常高兴。回顾新中国成立至今,道教代表受到党的最高领导接见,还是第一次。这有其重大的现实意义和深远的历史意义。江总书记在接见时说:要长期保持宗教政策的稳定性和连续性。这说明,党对宗教工作的重视和对宗教界人士及信教群众关心。宗教界,在社会主义现代化建设中,正在起着积极的作用。自党的十一届三中全会以来,落实了宗教信仰自由政策。道教虽然得以恢复宗教活动,然而,由于宗教活动场所的紧张和道教青黄不接等现状得不到有效的解决,道教事业的进展十分缓慢。今年,农历正月初一、初九我参加了     

佛国见闻

斯里兰卡面积虽小,但就佛教而论,却是一个大国。在65,000平方公里的国土上,有6,500多座寺庙,住有近三万比丘和沙弥。占全国人口百分之七十以上的僧伽罗人,几乎全部都是佛教徒。笔者到这个国家来进修文学和佛教,和某些长老、法师经常接触,在康提大学选修了两门佛教课程,常到校内的僧伽寺就餐,并曾和该庙学僧外出旅游,现就自己的一     

留美见闻

一、心理学达到家喻户晓在美国,几乎人人知道心理学,几乎每所大学都有心理学系。有一次收到我所住地区一街道大学的招生广告,在屈指可数的几门课程中竟包括着心理学。加州大学洛杉矶分校的心理系堪与数学、工程等大系并驾齐驱。这个系独占一幢面积很大的六层大楼,还跟教育系合办一个独立的图书馆。洛杉矶分校心理系有教授68名,本科学生1800名,研究生170名。全校30000名学生中80%的学生选修《心理学概论》等心理学课。从博士研究生培养计划看,     

云居见闻

正值秋风送爽之时,我到江西永修参拜了久别的云居山真如寺,同旧时师友林下谈心,不胜今昔之感!真如寺创建于唐宪宗元和年间,历经兴废。至解放前夕,已是一片废墟,几堵断垣。1953年虚云     

回乡见闻

去年七月中旬,道教学院放暑假,我回到了故土安徽省怀远县。正值淮河流域发生了百年少遇的特大洪涝灾害。在这次灾难的危急关头,家乡的党员干部挺身而出,在大风大浪中经受住了严峻的考验。他(她)们用实际行动赢得了灾区群众的信赖,大大提高了党在人民群众心目中的威信。七月上旬,倾盆暴雨,连续了几日,致使淮河、天河水位猛涨,连成一片汪洋,有三十多个行政村浸泡在水里,近十万亩良田被大水吞没,五万多人无家可归。在肆虐无情的洪水面前,大批党员干部,在关键时刻把个人生死置之度外,冲锋在前,表现了崇高的思想境界和大无畏的英雄气概,令人钦     

河南见闻

今年8月下旬,独自前往河南采访,主要走了三个地方:许昌、灵颖和开封,郑州不过是中转站,尽管如此,但它毕竟是我进入河南的第一站。在郑州时,我去省两会拜访了河南省基督教协会会长赫连召选牧师,三自主席吴承荣牧师,秘书长唐卫民牧师,副会长胡俊杰牧师等教会负责同工,他们告诉我许多让我振奋的事情。 河南省有可容纳千人以上的教堂1100所以上,聚会点5000多个,信徒有200多万,牧师100多位,长老394位,传     

访美见闻

太平洋彼岸的美国,从小就一直不断地闻说,但是一直没有机会到那里亲眼看看。直到这次随团参加“社会伦理与宗教良知的当代影响”学术会议,才第一次踏上了这块土地。沿途所见所闻,使我增长了不少的见识,当然也生发出不少感想。 一、巴哈伊信仰中心 经过十多个小时的长途飞行,飞机终于接触到美     

乌兹别克斯坦见闻

正一直想去乌兹别克斯坦的撒马尔罕、布哈拉,想见识中亚的伊斯兰教古城和文物,因缘巧合今年一月终于可以去乌兹别克斯坦,心情尤为兴奋,真想一下飞到那里。一、布哈拉:纳格什班迪耶教团发源地乌兹别克斯坦也有高铁,速度较之国内时速300公里的列车要慢些,大致在200公里上下。可是,车厢非常宽大,一节车厢仅有40多座位,前后左右空间都很大,坐着真是一种享受。我们一行3人历时3小时,     

巴基斯坦斋月见闻

伊斯兰教历九月被称为斋月。阿拉伯语叫"热麦丹",意思是抹除罪恶、烧毁罪孽。只要穆斯林在这个月虔诚地履行敬主爱人的义务,那么,他就会得到真主的接纳和宽恕,为他打开仁慈和圣洁的精神大门,进入天堂。出于这样的宗教信念,世界

Development of Family Therapy in Hong Kong

This paper provides an insight into the development and growth of family therapy in Hong Kong. Family therapy was introduced in Hong Kong in the early 1980s and is now gaining ground. The authors give a historical account of the development of family therapy in Hong Kong, and report on its progress and achievement for the past three decades there. The field has gone through several stages of development. The 1980s were marked by an importation of Western family therapy models, during which overseas expertise was tapped to promote family therapy. The 1990s were characterized by a blossoming of different schools of family therapy on the local scene. Most schools established their own practice centers, and training packages were tailor-made for local use. The 2000s were an important era of family therapy development in Hong Kong. The field has nurtured a new generation of leaders (both academics and front-line practitioners and trainers) who play an essential role in advancing its development. The paper concludes by identifying problems in clinical practice, professional training, and research and knowledge development, and proposes ways of overcoming these difficulties.     

"心理品质"之我见

众所周知,心理品质是心理学概念体系中顶“半边天”的概念,动态过程和静态品质构成心理活动的两维。稳定的心理品质构成了人的个性,决定其心理发展水平。因此,正确理解心理品质直接关系对个性的培养,是一个急待要解决的问题。关于心理品质的表述,未见有争议文章,似乎已成定论,其实颇值得研讨。本文试图澄清心理品质表述中的混乱现象,旨在构建科学的心理学基本理论体系,同时企图理顺概念体系的逻辑关系,并对能力和性格培养提出有针对性的建议,帮助初学者形成良好的心理学基本理论的知识结构。     

香港医疗制度与改革

香港的医疗制度由一个"二元医疗体系"组成,在体制模式、融资制度及服务规管三方面的安排都有其独特之处,为香港七百多万人提供了一个全民医疗安全网,能够达到公平、有效、可及性高及质素佳的要求.但是这个医疗系统也存在不少问题和隐忧,需要有效的改革,包括管治、管理、服务安排和融资模式改革等.     

香港社区礼俗与信仰共生——道教太平清醮中所见的信仰复合

本文以香港新界地区的太平清醮庆典仪式的田野调查为基础,从道教教义、仪式理论以及太平清醮仪式的宗教意义等角度分析宗教信仰在中国人生活世界中的地位和功能,进而尝试说明不同的宗教信仰为什么可以在中国人的宗教生活中共存共生。作者试图说明,由于道教已经通过其仪法结构将教义和宗教思想传递出来,以道教仪式为基本形式的社区礼俗自然就可以包容其他异质的信仰。     

Effective group work with delinquents in Hong Kong

The principle of matching services to needs suggests that group work would be most effective when it targets those most in need of the services--delinquents with low involvement with the family and high involvement with friends. Less time with the family indicates a greater need for conventional social control, while more time with friends may entail a greater need for learning social skills in order to resist delinquent peer influences. To address these needs, developmental group work is appropriate for delinquents identified by social workers. The effectiveness of services tend to be contingent upon the delinquents' relationship with family and friends. To test this hypothesis, the present study collected data from 190 delinquents in Hong Kong. It was found that developmental group activities were beneficial to delinquents who spent less time with family and/or more time with friends. For delinquents in general, developmental group activities were helpful in diminishing delinquency. Moreover, the help was significantly greater for delinquents who spent more time with friends.
