Acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) and humanistic psychotherapy: an integrative approximation
(2019)
This article explores the similarities between humanistic (and existential) psychotherapy, represented here by the ideas of Viktor Frankl, Erich Fromm and Irvin Yalom, and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT). Despite the ongoing dialogue between both therapies during the last decade, regarding both their convergences and divergences, there is a gap in the literature concerning their complementarity in clinical practice. This analysis addresses this gap with the integrative (or pluralistic) clinician in mind, and approximates a theoretical and practical integration anchored upon the trans-theoretical model.
Drawing on the author’s lifelong practice in the non-competitive and defensive Japanese art of Aikido, this book examines education as self-cultivation, from a Japanese philosophy (e.g. Buddhist) perspective. Contemplative practices, such as secular mindfulness meditation, are being increasingly integrated into pedagogical settings to enhance social and emotional learning and well-being and to address stress-induced overwhelm due to increased pressures on the education system and its constituents. The chapters in this book explore the various ways, through the lens of this non-violent relational art of Aikido, that pedagogy is always something being practiced (on the level of psychological, somatic and emotional registers) and thus holding potential for transformation into being more relational, ecological-minded, and reflecting more ‘embodied attunement.’ Positioning education as a practice, one of self-discovery, the author argues that one can approach personal development as engaging in a spiritual process of integrating mind and body towards full presence of being and existence.
Einer verbreiteten These folgend wird von alternativ-spirituellen Akteuren keine Änderung der gesellschaftlichen Verhältnisse angestrebt, wesentlich sei hingegen die Arbeit an der eigenen Identität im Dienst der >Selbstverwirklichung< (vgl. Lasch 1980, List 1988, Bellah et al. 1996). Die Verantwortung für Probleme und deren Lösungen würden dem Einzelnen aufgebürdet und die komplexen Zusammenhänge von (scheinbarer) Selbstbestimmung und internalisierten gesellschaftlichen Ansprüchen blieben verdeckt. Das heutige spirituelle Feld sei marktförmig strukturiert und statt gemeinschaftlicher Beziehungsformen würden flüchtige Begegnungen zwischen unabhängigen Transaktionspartnern vorherrschen (vgl. Hero 2010). Die Individualisierungsthese (vgl. Beck 1986, Beck & Beck-Gernsheim 2002) bildet den theoretischen Bezugsrahmen für diese oftmals als Kritik vorgebrachten Annahmen. Anhand der für die alternative Spiritualität wichtigen Ansätze von Erich Fromm und Marylin Ferguson werden die beschriebenen Ansichten in der vorliegenden Arbeit relativiert. Inwiefern die in den exemplarischen Selbstzeugnissen formulierten Ansprüche tatsächlich eingelöst wurden und auch für das heutige alternativ-spirituelle Milieu handlungsleitend sind, kann Gegenstand weiterführender Forschungen sein.
裘帕•拉希莉于2000年获普利策奖,是当代美国文坛最具潜力的作家之一。她的小说以描绘美国普通移民的生活而著称,贯穿其中的主题尤为引人深思。《低地》是移民故事的典型代表,拉希莉在此对现代人们的生存境况进行了崭新探索。本文以艾里希•弗罗姆的异化理论为理论基础,从社会异化、人际关系异化和自我疏远三方面考察《低地》中的人物在自我追寻时遭遇的困境。在《低地》中,人物的自我追寻首先受到来自社会异化的阻挠。在资本主义的社会背景下,小说中的人物必须像祈祷者崇拜上帝一样向国家和社会规范屈服,被迫将主导权转交他人手中,也因此丧失了自我追寻的能力。除此之外,来自人际关系中的异化同样影响着人物的自我追寻。在不同的人际关系中,他们需要扮演不同角色,而这些角色又往往不能与梦想中的自我吻合。因此在遵从内心意愿和服从社会规约的两难选择中,人物迷失了自我,失去追寻真我的方向。最后,人物在与内心诉求和外在要求的角力中变得无力,导致对自我及外部世界的漠然,无法成就梦想中的自我,自我追寻因而陷入困境,遥遥无期。拉希莉细致描绘出人物在社会异化、人际关系异化和自我疏远的影响下自我追寻所遭遇的困境,充分体现拉希莉对人类的生存窘境及真我建构中的艰难处境的深刻洞悉,对于当下人们的自我建构与道路选择提供重要导引。
Capitalism and Mental Health
(2019)
The psychoanalytical framework developed by Marxist Erich Fromm strongly challenges the dominant biological and individualistic explanations of the mental-health crisis that is now sweeping the globe. Fromm emphasized that all humans have certain needs that must be fulfilled in order to ensure optimal mental health. It follows that capitalism is crucial to determining the experience and prevalence of mental well-being, as its operations are incompatible with true human need.
In the conclusion entitled >A Holistic Relational Paradigm,< the author draws on key themes in the manuscript: attachment, healing, psychosocial development, and an altruistic approach to fostering prosocial behavior. Epstein’s (2014) work relates the early trauma of the Buddha’s loss of his mother after childbirth to his resultant view of ‘suffering.’ Epstein explores how this attachment >wound< is mirrored in the Buddhist view that we suffer as the result of not knowing how to integrate the reality of ‘impermanence.’ The author continues to generalize this universal or psycho-spiritual view (as opposed to one based on our ‘personal’ pathology or ‘narrative’) through the core training principles of Ki Aikido, like the Buddha’s Four Noble Truths, as ways of laying out a more liberatory path in daily life. Drawing on the work of Erich Fromm, he further expands on the notion of love, specifically as an approach that fosters applied skillfulness in relationships as an antidote to narcissism. Expanding further, he draws on Matthieu Ricard’s (2015) work on altruism, based in research on its roots in prosocial behavior rather than as moral idealism or superiority.
Propaganda is a centuries-old term, and yet scholars and practitioners are still having a hard time defining it and pinpointing what makes propaganda unique. Many existing definitions fail to distinguish between propaganda and marketing, public relations, advertising, or even mass communications, in general. This essay proposes to define propaganda through psychoanalytical research pioneered by Erich Fromm on symbiotic relations. Symbiotic relations, when transferred from biology to psychology and sociology, describe a process of allowing a person to merge with something big and important, therefore creating meaning beyond an individual’s life. As a result, following its religious roots, propaganda acts similar to religion – asking for a sacrifice of individualism in the name of something bigger – god, country, society, or political party. In the end, people willingly engage in propaganda because, although sacrificing something, they receive unity with the bigger powers of other people, organizations, political parties, countries, and so on. As a result, such persons are not alone against the world; they are now a part of a bigger and stronger union.
This chapter takes to task Elisabeth Roudinesco’s biography, Freud in His Time and Others, for innumerable factual errors and, even worse, for the assumption that she is presenting the objective truth about Freud. Three traditions of Freud biography are delineated: the hagiographic, of which Roudinesco’s is the latest example, the Freud-bashing, and the revisionist, which sees Freud as having created something incontestably great but also as having been tragically flawed as a human being. Roudinesco’s errors range from the trivial, to the mildly compromising, to the inexcusable and disqualifying. With respect to Jung, Roudinesco is shown to rely on Deirdre Bair’s biography, which is itself unreliable, instead of on her own reading of the primary sources. Roudinesco’s true colors are displayed above all in her treatment of Freud’s sexuality, as when she asserts that he has been >accused< of masturbation, claims that an affair with his sister-in-law >doubtless never happened,< and alleges that Freud had a >horror of adultery.< The all-too-human Freud was very different from the lifeless icon worshiped by Roudinesco.

(2019)
评论家及学者对乔纳森·弗兰岑及其作品的关注与日俱增,一度引发>弗兰岑热<。作为弗兰岑的代表作之一,《自由》(2010)探讨了诸如自由、环境保护、战争、人口过剩等关乎人类生存发展的重要问题。国内外有关《自由》的研究已取得一定成果,但关于该小说逃避主题的研究有待进一步深入。基于埃里希·弗罗姆及段义孚关于>逃避<的研究思想,本文拟从逃避自由、逃避现实与逃避动物性三个方面对该小说中的逃避主义进行深入的分析与研究。分析人类所面临的自由困境及积极自由的实现,阐释逃避现实的双重内涵,并探讨道德与人性在规避动物性方面的重要意义,最后指出《自由》中的逃避不仅仅只是消极逃避,也是一种积极的回归与自我实现的方式。论文分为六个章节。第一章,引言,主要对与作家作品相关的背景进行简单介绍,梳理国内外已有的研究成果,并指出论文的研究目的与研究意义。第二章,理论框架。主要对埃里希·弗罗姆的《逃避自由》及段义孚的《逃避主义》进行介绍,并梳理出有关逃避的主要准则,为论文第三章至第五章是论文的主体分析部分。在第三章,从权威主义与破坏分析探讨了逃避自由。在第四章,从迁移与想象分析探讨逃避现实。在第五章,从规避动物性与呼吁人性分析探讨了逃避动物性。第六章,结语。归纳总结逃避主义在该小说中的体现,点明逃避在该小说中的复杂性及积极意义。
In Formulated Experiences, Peter L. Rudnytsky continues his quest for a >re-vision< of psychoanalysis by coupling his revival of the unjustly neglected figure of Erich Fromm with his latest groundbreaking research on Ferenczi and Groddeck. Committed at once to a humanistic and to a literary psychoanalysis, Rudnytsky explores the subjective roots of creativity and critiques the authoritarianism that has been a tragic aspect of Freud’s legacy.Through his clinically informed interpretations he brings out both >hidden realities< and >emergent meanings< of the texts and authors he examines, including Shakespeare’s Othello and Macbeth, as well as Milton’s Paradise Lost. A preeminent scholar of the history and theory of psychoanalysis, Rudnytsky displays an interdisciplinary expertise that makes Formulated Experiences truly sui generis and unlike any existing book. Bridging the artificial divide between the academic and clinical worlds, his eloquent championing of the interpersonal and relational traditions will captivate contemporary psychoanalysts and psychotherapists, while his insightful close readings provide a model for psychoanalytic literary critics.
This chapter offers a proto-Frommian reading of Paradise Lost. The opening section reviews the debate between >theological< and >Romantic< critics of Milton’s poem—C. S. Lewis and Stanley Fish, on the one hand, and A. J. A. Waldock and William Empson, on the other. Although Waldock pointed to the structural contradictions in the epic, and Empson argued that God was >put on trial< in the narrative, the neo-Christians have gotten the upper hand because the neo-Romantics have been unable to provide an overarching framework to account for their observations. The middle section furnishes such a framework by synthesizing Kenneth Burke’s >logological< analysis of the Fall as inevitable from a narrative perspective with Bernard Paris’s insight that God is the supreme narcissist in the poem. The final section compares Milton’s God and Freud as patriarchs who impose a double bind on their followers and are motivated by a compulsive need for fame.
This chapter employs Fromm’s concept of the >magic helper< to analyze the symbiotic nature of the Freud-Ferenczi relationship. Because both sadists and masochists, according to Fromm, are unable to tolerate genuine freedom, the sadist is dependent on the masochist, no less than the masochist is dependent on the sadist. As Clara Thompson, who was in analysis with both Ferenczi and Fromm, recognized, Ferenczi suffered from his need to be loved and accepted by Freud, and unconsciously resented him for that reason. Fromm’s contrast between the >original self< and the >pseudo self< parallels Winnicott’s antithesis between the True Self and the False Self, as well as Horney’s antinomy between the >real self< and >phony self.< Marcuse’s critique of Fromm is based on an adherence to Freud’s outmoded drive theory. Whereas Freud plays the role of what Daniel Shaw calls the >traumatizing narcissist< in his relationship with Ferenczi, Ferenczi, until his emancipation in his final years, exhibits the deformations resulting from what Bernard Brandchaft calls >pathological accommodation.<
俄狄浦斯情结是弗洛伊德提出的一个精神分析学概念,自1918年在《爱情心理学》中公开使用以来产生了广泛的影响。它不仅作为精神分析理论的核心概念对弗洛伊德的学说至关重要,而且还在其他领域产生了重要的影响,例如,文学艺术领域和社会文化领域。经过弗洛伊德的后继者对俄狄浦斯情结长时间的使用,它的内涵也不断被丰富和拓展,其影响也日益深远。本文即是以俄狄浦斯情结为研究对象,通过两条线索、三种视野对俄狄浦斯情结的发展展开的研究,旨在达到对俄狄浦斯情结发展过程较为全面的认识。文章在此基础上分析了其在不同领域具有的价值,进而从总体上对俄狄浦斯情结进行总结评价并说明它的本质特性。通过从不同视野对俄狄浦斯情结分析、对比,获得对其本质特性的认识:它是社会文化内化于个体无意识中的实存精神现象,是不同文化语境中权力话语下基本的家庭结构关系。在不同的文化语境下它以不同的样式呈现出来,俄狄浦斯情结、代情结和美拉尼西亚社会中的弑母舅娶姊妹的欲望即是以不同的样式呈现于社会之中的典型代表。其中,对俄狄浦斯情结文学价值的阐述放在了俄狄浦斯情结的价值与评价一章中,根据其发展过程阐述了它在不同发展阶段具有的文学理论和文学批评的价值。对俄狄浦斯情结的研究即是在这两条线索和三种视野的统辖下展开的,研究的主要内容如下:第一,在个体无意识的原初视野下,分析了弗洛伊德建构俄狄浦斯情结的动因、它的基本内涵和“真实、幻想、概念和神话”的多重身份。通过分析其与神经症、性本能和人格结构的关系说明它核心概念的地位。克莱因通过早期焦虑探讨了婴儿心理的俄狄浦斯冲突。第二,在语言维度视野中,拉康将俄狄浦斯情结拓展为一个象征性的三元结构,并阐述了这个三元结构与拉康无意识、欲望和三界理论的关系。第三,社会文化视野下,主要阐述了俄狄浦斯情结具有的社会文化表征性。具体来说,在弗洛姆与马林诺夫斯基理论观念中体现了俄狄浦斯情结的父权制文化表征性;在反俄狄浦斯中,它表征了父权制下的资本主义社会文化;与代情结的对比中,体现了它的文化差异表征性。第四,说明俄狄浦斯情结的深远影响,分析俄狄浦斯情结在各领域中的价值和对其进行整体性评价。
艾里希•弗洛姆是20世纪著名的心理学家、哲学家和社会学家,也是西方马克思主义者、法兰克福学派的主要代表人物之一以及新弗洛伊德学派创始人。他的一生创造了很多值得我们进行借鉴并引发我们思考的理论,这篇文章是围绕他的资本主义批判思想进行深入探讨的,在弗洛姆的批判思想中主要针对的是现代西方资本主义社会存在的诸多漏洞,从新的角度去看,我们的社会还有很多问题亟待解决,这也是本论文选择去研究弗洛姆批判思想的初衷。本论文从弗洛姆资本主义批判理论的提出、资本主义批判理论主要内涵及影响、以及弗洛姆资本主义批判理论的意义三个方面尽全力来展示弗洛姆资本主义批判理论。本文将弗洛姆对西方资本主义的批判以及其设想构建健全社会的遐想和实现方式作为着重探讨对象。在弗洛姆的观点中,现代资本主义看起来是昌盛繁荣的,但透过现象看其背后,是作为一个病态社会般的存在,人的异化及社会的异化已经发展到了极为严重的情况下,弗洛姆对生产过程的异化、消费异化以及社会关系异化进行了批判。同时弗洛姆根据病态社会带来的问题,提出了>健全社会<的构想。弗洛姆将资本主义社会从心理、经济、政治、文化四个方面进行了变革,构建一个健全的社会。然而弗洛姆的理想世界过于美好,恰似一个乌托邦,理论也存在的一些不足之处,但马克思的观点和弗洛伊德的观点在弗洛姆这里得到了升华。弗洛姆社会批判理论经历了西方资本主义发展,深入研究并分析了西方社会,回答了当今社会人们面临的基本问题。我们通过对弗洛姆资本主义批判思想理论的研究发现,他的批判理论在当今的中国也是值得借鉴的,如今的中国无论是在经济、政治还是精神方面也都欠缺很多,在这些方面的建设期间最不能忽略的就是精神世界的丰富,这也为我国的发展提供了一个规避风险的途径。
以>立德树人<为旨归的道德教育必然需要关注学生完善人格的最终形成, 然而, 什么是完善人格, 如何培育完善人格, 完善人格养成的内在机制是什么, 对于这些问题的解答一直是道德教育理论研究的难题, 而对这些问题进行深入研究对于解决当前我国青少年道德发展过程中所出现的知行不一的状况也具重要的实践意义。当代西方马克思主义理论重要的代表学者, 人本主义学家埃里希·弗洛姆(1900—1980)在其庞大精深的人道主义伦理学体系中, 对人格表现出极大关注, 主张在对人性、人的本质和人的境遇充分认识的基础上通过塑造一种生产性人格, 进而实现人的道德完善, 这为解决当前我国德育困境提供了可借鉴的思想资源。本文以弗洛姆生产性人格培育为视角, 着重探究其生产性人格理论中所蕴含的丰富伦理观和德育方法论, 以期为当前我国道德教育的理论与实践提供启示。首先, 在对弗洛姆生产性人格理论产生的时代背景、思想来源和理论前提进行论述的基础上, 本文论证了人格在弗洛姆人道主义伦理学中的中心地位, 进而对生产性人格的内涵及其理论意义进行了解读, 也直接论证了生产性人格培育的必要性。其次, 本文进一步探究了弗洛姆生产性人格的培育路径。提出生产性人格的培育依赖于人的自发性行动和健全社会的建构。生产性人格的形成需要理性认知、生产性的爱、理性信仰和人道主义良心这些内在力量相互作用以推动道德行动, 最终使人达到真正的幸福状态。生产性人格的培育倡导道德教育回归道德主体, 回归生活艺术, 回归道德实践和存在式教育方式。最后, 本文认为, 弗洛姆生产性人格理论有助于促进学生的道德发展和完善人格的塑造, 它也启示当前的道德教育应回归道德主体, 促进人的自由全面发展;应进一步夯实道德心理学的基础, 促进道德知情意行的统一;应回归现实生活, 关注生活艺术的培育;还要反对占有式教育, 倡导启发式教学。
Groddeck’s Lessons
(2019)
This chapter examines both >Groddeck’s teaching,< in the sense of the enduing value of his contributions to psychoanalysis, as well as >Groddeck’s lessons,< that is, what we can learn from his blind spots. The question of who is a psychoanalyst stands at the center of Groddeck’s relationship to Freud, and in accepting Groddeck’s assertion that transference and resistance are the >hubs of treatment,< Freud offers his most expansive definition of a psychoanalyst. Groddeck’s genius is most fully displayed in The Book of the It, the epistolary form of which casts him at once in the roles of analyst and patient. From Groddeck’s biography, it is clear that he was an extremely traumatized individual, as is further attested by his analysis in Letter 25 of his penchant for the number 26,783. But Groddeck does not recognize that he has been traumatized, and his one-sided theory that the It is >responsible for everything< reflects his inability to give due weight to environmental factors. Despite his astonishing candor, Groddeck never discusses his divorce from his first wife or the tragic story of his daughter Barbara, wounds that must have too painful for him to expose to the gaze of the reading public.
《麦田里的守望者》是美国作家杰罗姆•大卫•塞林格于1951年出版的小说,至今影响深远。小说以第一人称的视角讲述了一个十六岁青少年霍尔顿•考菲尔德三天多噩梦般的历程。霍尔顿亲眼目睹了腐朽而堕落的城市生活以及人们的虚伪与假模假式。故事的叙述开始于由于考试不及格而要退学的他在潘西中学的最后一天,结束于他在一家疗养院接受治疗。在三天的游荡里,霍尔顿面对社会的异化力量感到无比沮丧与困惑,他的情绪几近失控。然而,他没有选择屈服于这个异化的社会,而是勇敢地与其进行斗争。二十世纪中期,美国社会累积着许多问题。第二次世界大战后的美国积累了大量财富,经济技术的迅猛发展给人们的生活方式和思维方式带来了巨大的变化。物质主义和享乐主义盛行,市场和公众舆论成为人们无意识顺从的匿名权威。异化已经不仅仅是个别现象,而是成为了一种社会现象。事实上,异化并不是现代才出现的现象,而是一个由来已久的概念。结合异化理论在社会学领域的研究,我们可以得出异化的一般定义:异化表示人类自身活动的结果发展成为一种陌生的力量,监督并反对着他,而不为他所控制。异化的人感受到自己是一个物体,一个商品,一个工具,他不能体会到自己是一个主动的执行者从而丧失了自我感。作为一个即将迈入成年人世界的青少年,《麦田里的守望者》的主人公霍尔顿•考菲尔德对于自己在这个世界的身份感到困惑。他拒绝按照这个世界设定好的规则生活,坚守他内心认为重要的东西。在这个市场导向的社会,当其他人都努力达到社会成功的标准,霍尔顿的梦想却是成为一个麦田里的守望者,保护纯真的孩子们免于被虚伪和假模假式的成人世界所污染。社会的异化力量使得他的内心充满困惑和冲突,他与周围的世界始终存在着一种疏离感。当其他人都努力适应现代社会的模式,他对自我的追寻和对异化的反抗使他成为了一个不合时宜的主人公。本文梳理了异化理论的起源与发展,以美国社会学家艾瑞克•弗洛姆的理论为主要理论基础,结合特定的时代背景聚焦《麦田里的守望者》中的异化主题。论文分析了小说所展现的三个异化层面:标准化的教育,规范化的社会和异化的人与人之间的关系,探讨了无处不在的异化力量下霍尔顿充满着矛盾和冲突的心理状态,最后聚焦于霍尔顿通过他毅然决然的逃离,对爱的坚守以及对自然的依恋对异化力量勇敢的反叛。本文通过分析一个十六岁青少年面对社会异化力量的心理历程和实际行动,总结了抵抗异化的更具实践意义的方式,以期对当代青少年有借鉴和启发意义。
