I am sympathetic to Inbar Graiver's (see record 2021-21903-001) claim that modern Western psychology can benefit from a dialogue with history and would emphasize that her article points toward two distinct ways this is so: first, on the basis of historiographical representations of individual experience; second, on the basis of the history of concepts. I also accept her generalization that modern psychology and psychiatry have often focused on pathology and that among the key reasons for this is the biomedical assumption that "an organism is healthy to the extent that it is not diseased" (pp. 7-8). (I am more diffident about the degree to which Freudian psychoanalysis remains responsible for this today. ) Insofar as Western psychologists do attempt to theorize a universal model of "mental health," Graiver rightly highlights the danger they will not perceive their own culturally specific presuppositions. Though I am no expert in Christian monastic hagiography or theorizations of "the health of the soul," I am sure both can contribute to illuminating some of these presuppositions. This article also raises many questions for me. For the sake of brevity, I will address only two of them. The first concerns the general conceptualization of "mental health," whereas the second focuses on the roles of relationality and transcendence in mental health.

古代和今天的心理健康和超越:对Graiver(2021)的评论。

我同情Inbar Graiver(请参阅记录2021-21903-001)的说法,即现代西方心理学可以从与历史的对话中受益,并强调她的文章指出了两种截然不同的方式:第一,基于历史学的表述具有个人经验;第二,根据概念的历史。我也接受她的概括,即现代心理学和精神病学通常侧重于病理学,并且其主要原因之一是生物医学假设,即“一种生物在不患病的程度上是健康的”(第7-8页)。(我对弗洛伊德的精神分析在今天仍应负责的程度持不同的看法。)就西方心理学家的确试图对“精神健康”的普遍模型进行理论推论,Graiver正确地强调了他们不会意识到自己的文化特定预设的危险。尽管我不是基督教修道院修道院摄影术或“灵魂健康”理论的专家,但我相信两者都可以有助于阐明其中的某些前提。本文还为我提出了许多问题。为了简洁起见,我仅介绍其中两个。第一个涉及“心理健康”的一般概念,而第二个关注于关系和超越在心理健康中的作用。(PsycInfo数据库记录(c)2021 APA,保留所有权利)。我相信,两者都可以有助于阐明其中的一些前提条件。本文还为我提出了许多问题。为了简洁起见,我仅介绍其中两个。第一个涉及“心理健康”的一般概念,而第二个关注于关系和超越在心理健康中的作用。(PsycInfo数据库记录(c)2021 APA,保留所有权利)。我相信,两者都可以有助于阐明其中的一些前提条件。本文还为我提出了许多问题。为了简洁起见,我仅介绍其中两个。第一个涉及“心理健康”的一般概念,而第二个关注于关系和超越在心理健康中的作用。(PsycInfo数据库记录(c)2021 APA,保留所有权利)。
