社群、精神性传统和中国社会中的灾难(英文)

本文假定深切的处境观念和社群疗法是受害者"家庭"观念重建的最好途径。本文作者认真响应中国心理学会主席张侃的号召,重视中国的本土资源和精神遗产对于中国人在心理治疗中作用。本文沿袭了沃尔什将重建社群作为缓解创伤和灾难效果的四种方式:分享对创伤事件的认知,分享丧失和存活的经验,社群的重新组织和关系的重新建立。有人认为在灾难之后,精神性也可以在意义和社群的复原中扮演着积极的作用,前提是尊重信仰,鼓励信仰者使用自己的信仰语言,而不是把信仰当作工具来寻求心理健康。文中引用的例子包括俄罗斯乌克兰人中的门诺派教徒在社群/宗教重建中的努力,还有中国人对2008年5月12日汶川大地震中对灾难的回应方式。

Community, Spiritual Traditions, and Disasters in Chinese Society

This article posits a deeply contextual and communal therapy as the best path to a victim’s reconstruction of a sense o‘fhome.’The authors take seriously the call of Zhang Kan,chairperson of the Chinese Psychological Society,to consider the localities and heritage of China in the construction of psychotherapy for Chinese.The article follows Walsh’s four ways by which reconstructed communities are a resource for detoxifying the effects of trauma and disaster: shared acknowledgement of the traumatic events,shared experience of loss and survivorship, reorganization of the community,and reinvestment in relationships.It is argued that spirituality can also play a positive role in the recovery of meaning and community after disaster when honored rather than instrumentalized.Examples will be drawn from the communal/religious reconstructive efforts of Ukrainian Mennonites in communist Russia and the ways in which Chinese responded to the earthquake of May 12,2008.
