Mental well-being in ancient Greece: Comment on Graiver (2021).

In her thought-provoking article, Graiver (see record 2021-21903-001) argues that many early Christian monks achieved sustained psychological health, perceived as joyful serenity by their contemporaries, and admired within their milieu and the society at large. This state was attained by means of dispassion (apatheia) and culminated in spiritual enlightenment. In the author's opinion, conclusions of this historical research call for a reassessment of modern attitudes to psychological health that can be construed only "in a culturally sensitive manner" (p. 1). In my opinion, limitation of the evidence on mental health in Ancient Greece to medical authors only is hardly justified. The word psuchê is virtually ignored by Greek medical authors.

古希腊的心理健康:评论Graiver(2021)。

格里弗(Graiver)在她的发人深省的文章中(见记录2021-21903-001)认为,许多早期的基督教僧侣获得了持续的心理健康,同时代人认为这是快乐的宁静,并在他们的环境和整个社会中受到钦佩。这种状态是通过无情(无神论)而达到的,并在精神上得到启迪。作者认为,这项历史研究的结论要求重新评估对心理健康的现代态度,这种态度只能“以文化敏感的方式”解释(第1页)。我认为,将古希腊关于精神健康的证据仅限于医学作者是没有道理的。psuchê这个词实际上被希腊医学作者忽略了。(PsycInfo数据库记录(c)2021 APA,保留所有权利)。
