Following three turning points in the historical development of psychology this study examines how the relation between mental health and the state of illness is linked to the concept of "passions." The first was the birth of modern psychiatry in 18th century France. The second was the development of the field of inquiry in antiquity about the psuchē and its mental activities, and the third was the turn of early Christian thought about mind and soul. A comparison between early modern and ancient concepts of "the passions" reveals the moral and ethical aspects of the concept "mental health," and shows that more than for any other kind of illness, the history of mental illness and mental health is embedded within a moralistic philosophical perspective. Pathology as a field of study of "the passions," whatever their definition was, enabled thinkers to refer to mental illness and health in moral terms. Although "passions" meant different things to different authors in different times, it was used by all as means to link between inner mental activities and the way the body react to the outside world. We can see it as an obligatory element to conceptualize illness, disorder, and health in regards to mental activities. Pagan ancient authors as well as early Christian authors used it to construct new theories and praxes about mental health, while early modern psychiatrists used it to develop corporeal methods of cure. In all currents of thought the concept of "passions" and the definition of the ways in which they affected the mind were used to distinguish mental illness and mental health from any other type of illness and health.

道德心理病理学和心理健康:现代和古代。

跟随心理学历史发展的三个转折点,本研究探讨了精神健康与疾病状态之间的关系如何与“激情”概念联系在一起。首先是现代精神病学在18世纪法国的诞生。第二个是古代关于psuchē及其心理活动的研究领域的发展,第三个是早期基督教徒关于思想和灵魂的思想转向。早期现代和古代“激情”概念之间的比较揭示了“心理健康”概念的道德和伦理方面,并表明,除任何其他疾病外,精神疾病和心理健康的历史也深植其中一种道德哲学的观点。病理学是“激情”的研究领域 无论其定义是什么,思想家都可以用道德术语来指称精神疾病和健康。尽管“激情”在不同的时期对于不同的作者而言具有不同的含义,但它被所有人用作联系内部心理活动与身体对外界反应的方式。我们可以将其视为在心理活动方面概念化疾病,障碍和健康的必不可少的元素。异教徒的古代作者以及早期的基督教作者都使用它来构建有关心理健康的新理论和实践,而早期的现代精神病学家则使用它来开发有针对性的治疗方法。在所有思潮中,“激情”的概念 以及他们影响心灵的方式的定义被用来区分精神疾病和精神健康与任何其他类型的疾病和健康。(PsycInfo数据库记录(c)2021 APA,保留所有权利)。
