大学生基督徒宗教认同的调查和分析

本文以无记名问卷方式抽样调查了大学生基督徒的宗教认同问题,包括大学生基督徒宗教认同的建构与维持、大学生基督徒宗教认同的面向与层次、大学生基督徒宗教认同的呈现与形塑。研究发现,中国大学生基督徒的宗教认同状况总体上支持西方宗教心理学的研究理论,大多数大学生基督徒基本的宗教认同都是从家庭中获得的,只有少数大学生基督徒的宗教信仰是在经过一番研究和慎思之后通过有意识的追求而获得的。     

加强少数民族大学生宗教观教育的原则、内容、途径和方法

北京大学生宗教信仰调查研究综述

对涉及北京地区大学生宗教信仰状况的调查研究进行梳理．发现其研究内容主要有五个方面：（1）大学生信仰宗教的基本状况：具有宗教信仰的大学生人数比例呈上升趋势．信教大学生在家庭背景、性别、年级和专业等方面存在一定的差异：（2）大学生接触宗教的途径和信教的原因：大学生接触宗教的途径主要来自书籍、课堂和亲朋好友。多数信教大学生在大学期间才选择信教,信教原因具有多重性;（3）大学生的宗教观念和信仰活动特征：多数大学生对宗教持宽容态度,大学生信徒对基本教义、教理的理解程度高,参加宗教活动热情高。更倾向于团契活动;（4）信教后对大学生的影响：信教对大学生的价值观念和行为模式的改变非常大。且他们在思想倾向上存在消极性;（5）对策建议：认为应多管齐下,包括有开设相关课程和加强对非法传教活动的管理。这些研究的不足表现在：总体上缺乏科学无神论的观察视角：部分研究缺乏客观中立的立场：部分研究缺乏对研究对象的深入了解。

社会转型与农村青少年基督徒的宗教信仰——以甘肃W村基督教群体为例

本文借助于问卷调查与田野调查两种方法,对148名农村青少年基督徒的宗教信仰进行研究。研究发现,社会转型过程中,农村青少年基督徒的宗教信仰出现了分化,一部分青少年脱离了宗教信仰,另一部分青少年则依然保持着宗教信仰;农村青少年基督徒宗教卷入程度较低,个体私人性的宗教卷入行为相对较多,群体公共性宗教卷入行为较少;农村青少年基督徒的宗教态度趋于理性化。因此,世俗化会带来信仰的多元化。

电子传播时代大学生网络宗教生活解析

大学生群体的宗教信仰状况攸关国家和民族未来。互联网自出现以来,便被宗教应用于其自身的传播中,这种在网络存在的宗教形态被称为网络宗教。在象牙塔内生活的大学生,其网络宗教生活也有其自身的独特性。对大学生的网络宗教生活这一问题进行的哲学解析则包括逻辑解析、历史解析和实践解析三个维度。逻辑解析重在梳理宗教的本质,历史解析努力探究大学生宗教信仰的现状及其成因,实践解析尝试摸索有针对性的破题解题思路。     

大学生宗教信仰现状调查与分析

为了解大学生宗教信仰基本现状,加强大学生信仰教育提供参考。使用自编调查问卷,随机对1016名学生进行问卷调查。回收有效问卷837份,调查发现大学生有宗教信仰者64人,占被试的7．65％;其中大学生的信仰宗教排名依次为佛教、道教、基督教：信教学生最初接触宗教的原因主要是：承袭家庭传统占37．5％,寻求心灵寄托占35．94％,受信仰群体的感染26．56％;大学生去宗教场所的主要原因从高到低依次为（1）祈福占51．73％;（2）参观浏览,占49．34％;（3）陪同他人参观,占44．68％;（4）好奇,占32．38％;在对待宗教的态度上,92％的信教学生对不同宗教信仰者持好感和理解态度．另有89％的无宗教信仰学生对宗教信徒持好感和理解态度;无宗教信仰的学生中有8．12％A-有皈依某种宗教的想法．有10．51％人没有参加宗教的原因是由于时间的限制,他们有可能成为潜在的宗教信仰人群。因此,需要加强对大学生共产主义信仰的教育及马克思主义关于宗教理论的教育。     

Together – apart: in touch in a time of separation

This paper explores the experience of working as a Jungian analyst through the various phases of the global COVID-19 pandemic, examining the importance of the physical containing space alongside the analyst’s internal mind and how technology can both help and hinder understanding. A number of clinical vignettes illustrate the challenge of communicating over a distance, paying particular attention to the way countertransference phenomena can become re-attuned. Reference is made to mythology and symbols of hope, and consideration given to the meaning and purpose of the pandemic.     

The Possibility of Meaning in Human Evolution

Science undermines the certitude of non-naturalistic answers to the question of whether human life has meaning. I explore whether evolution can provide a naturalistic basis for existential meaning. Using the work of philosopher Daniel Dennett and scientist Ursula Goodenough, I argue that evolution is the locus of the possibility of meaning because it has produced intentionality, the matrix of consciousness. I conclude that the question of the meaning of human life is an existentialist one: existential meaning is a product of the individual and collective tasks human beings undertake.     

Phenotypic plasticity and archetype: a response to common objections to the biological theory of archetype and instinct

Since Jung’s death in 1961, scholars have attempted to integrate growing biological science data into Jungian concepts such as the collective unconscious, instincts and the archetypes. This enterprise has been challenging due to persistent false dichotomies of gene and environment occasionally arising. Recent works by Roesler (2022a, 2022b) for example, have raised objections to the biological theory of archetypes, but the objections are plagued by such dichotomies. The concept of phenotypic plasticity, however, helps to both avoid this problem as well as bridge the gap between competing theories into a more integrated model with solid biological foundations.     

When is it time to stop? When good enough becomes bad enough

This article draws on Winnicott’s concept of the good enough mother to discuss how to know whether a therapeutic situation is good enough to continue or bad enough to end. This dilemma is explored in terms of clinical syndromes, such as anorexia and pathological gambling, but focuses mainly on analyst-initiated endings, which are termed the ‘Casablanca dilemma’, based on an amplification of the ending of the film Casablanca. The author goes on to discuss such one-sided endings, drawing on interviews with 40 analysts and therapists about their clinical experience. A typology of bad enough endings is presented. The psychological differences between a good enough analysis as opposed to a bad enough one are explored through the ideas of Winnicott and Neumann.     

Kann Es Ein Argument Für Den Skeptizismus Geben? Das Epistemische Problem Der Irrtumsmöglichkeit

Summary  Is there any argument for scepticism? The epistemic problem of the possibility of error. Arguments for scepticism rest on the assumption that knowledge claims are fallible. For this reason the concept of knowledge appears to be questionable. Since it is necessary to distinguish doubts from possible doubts, the arguments for scepticism appear to be unconvincing. If we take it into account that we know something that is immune to doubt, we should draw the conclusion that, contrary to scepticism, knowledge claims have to be compatible with being fallible. Thus any knowledge claim is capable of being doubted.     

The transcendent function in Spitteler’s Prometheus and Epimetheus

In August 2020, John Beebe and Steve Myers met via Zoom to discuss their differing interpretations of psychological typology and the different sources within Jung’s writings that influenced their books: Integrity in Depth: Energies and Patterns in Psychological Type (Beebe), and Myers-Briggs Typology vs Jungian Individuation (Myers). The discussion centred on Spitteler’s epic poem Prometheus und Epimetheus, which forms the basis of chapter V of Psychological Types. This is both the largest chapter and one of two chapters that Jung highlighted in the Argentine foreword as containing the essence of the book. Jung’s book is primarily about the transformation of personality rather than the categorization of people. Although it contains a critical psychology that deconstructs the nature of consciousness, that is only one half of the book and a stepping-stone to the other half, which is the reconciliation of opposites with particular emphasis on the relation of consciousness and the unconscious. Jung assumed that readers were already familiar with Prometheus und Epimetheus, an understanding of which sheds light on the nature of the transformation that Jung described – the development of a new attitude towards attitude itself.

Seeing in the Dark: A View into Dissociation and Healing

In this paper, I will explore the role of art-making, the experience of trauma and dissociation, and the process of working with self-states from an analytic and creative frame. Relevant literature on dissociation, trauma, and the use of art will be discussed. A case involving my work with an adolescent girl who had experienced sexual abuse from a family member will be shared, with an emphasis on the meaningful role images played during the therapeutic process. Both Jungian and psychoanalytic models of conceptualizing and working with dissociation are included, following Donald Kalsched’s (2013) recommendation for a “binocular stance” to treatment, including both a focus on the inner, intrapsychic world and the interpersonal, relational realm, and how art images both illuminated and expressed these realms. Within the therapeutic process, art images allowed the therapist a view into the client’s unconscious process, and created a meeting ground for dissociative barriers to be gradually seen, felt and known, by both therapist and client. The experience of dissociation, in images and in session, provided a reference point for myself and my client, Taylor, to develop a shared understanding and a framework for growth.
