The Existential Side of Kohut's Tragic Man

This article explores the way in which Kohut's concept of Tragic Man functions as a response to criticisms of self psychology as proffering a partial, utopian, strife-denying theory of human development. After citing several representative critiques in this respect, I review the concept of Tragic Man as defined by Kohut, and then seek to deepen the clinical usefulness of this concept through a discussion of affects, empathy, and free association. A clinical vignette concludes the paper, through which some of these ideas find illustration.     

Editorial

Undergoing a traumatic experience can be a life-changing event, having a significant impact on individuals, families, communities, workplaces and societies. Traumatology is therefore a complex field of study demanding a sophisticated level of understanding to serve as a theory base. This article explores the potential for existentialist philosophy to make an important contribution to our understanding of trauma and its effects. It presents trauma as an existential injury and explores the psychosocial basis of traumatic experience — that is, conceptualising trauma as having both psychological and sociological dimensions, the combination of which has profound existential resonances. While the theoretical ideas discussed can be applied to trauma at any stage in the life course, this paper focuses in particular on childhood trauma. Consequently, child abuse is used as an example of how trauma can have a significant (and detrimental) effect on identity development, invoking a need for a commitment to trauma recovery.     

实体主义批判——广松涉哲学视域中的西方哲学

在西方现代哲学各派日益把哲学逻辑化、语言化,使哲学之路越走越窄的理论背景下,广松涉以"物象化论"为哲学方法,对以康德、马赫、胡塞尔和海德格尔为代表的西方实体主义的哲学传统进行了批判,由此实现了从物的世界观到事的世界观、从实体主义到关系主义的哲学变革.在格外重视生态平衡与可持续发展的当代世界,关系主义应有实体主义所不具有的理论价值与现实意义.     

Career Counseling With Black Men: Applying Principles of Existential Psychotherapy

Counselors may benefit from applying principles of existential psychotherapy to career counseling with Black men. Existential psychotherapy asserts that there are 4 issues that all people experience: death, freedom, isolation, and meaning. The life experiences of Black men, including difficulty with their careers, suggest that they may struggle with these existential concerns, particularly finding meaning in their lives. Because work and issues in other domains of life (e.g., family, community) often intersect, an existentially based career counseling approach may prove useful. An overview of existential psychotherapy is presented, followed by a discussion of its applicability to career counseling with Black men. In addition to suggestions for career counselors, recommendations for training and professional development are offered.

论庄周与萨特的存在哲学

庄周与萨特，对人的存在意识与存在方式都曾进行了痛苦而深刻的思考：关于个体孤独、绝对自由、悲观而乐观等命题，都曾是二者为命途多舛的人类生命所作的无奈而悲凉的存在选择，让我们看到东西方哲学家在人类认识世界、把握人生过程中观念思维超越时空的交互与相通。     

从视点角度看静态存在句中的“着”和“了”

从视点的角度看，静态存在句中的“着”类句反映的是说话人对事物存在状态静态的大纲视点模式，“了”类句反映的是说话人对事物存在状态动态的顺序视点模式。二者所反映的观察方向都是同序的视点模式，但“着”句的视点始终处于句中场景之中；而“了”句的视点首先位于句中场景，然后以回顾性的方向移至与之相对的另一场景，然后再移回到句中场景。
