He could even trace this feeling back to a separation from his mother, who had been hospitalized for several months for cancer treatment when he was 4. In short, he had gained plenty of insight in therapy into the nature and origin of his anxiety, but he felt no better. 他甚至明白这种感觉源自於和母亲的分离。四岁时，他母亲因为治疗癌症而住院了好几个 月。简言之，他已经从心理治疗中得到很深的顿悟(insight)，明白他焦虑的本质和来源 ，但并未因此感到比较舒服。 What therapy had given this young man was a coherent narrative of his life; it had demystified his feelings, but had done little to change them. 这个年青人从心理治疗中更透彻地认识自己过往的人生，并了解自己为何焦虑，但接受治 疗并没有减轻他的任何一丝不安。 Was this because his self-knowledge was flawed or incomplete? Or is insight itself, no matter how deep, of limited value? 是因为他的自知有缺陷、不够完整?或者顿悟(insight)本身，不管深浅并无太大价值? Psychoanalysts and other therapists have argued for years about this question, which gets to the heart of how therapy works (when it does) to relieve psychological distress. 心理分析师和其他心理医生为此已争论好多年，这个问题的答案决定心理治疗是如何减 轻病人的心灵创伤(当治疗有发挥功效的时候)。 Theoretical debates have not settled the question, but one interesting clue about the possible relevance of insight comes from comparative studies of different types of psychotherapy — only some of which emphasize insight. 理论之争到目前尚未争出一个答案，但关於顿悟与疗效的关联性，从比较不同类型的心理 治疗研究中，，发现一个有趣的线索—只有部分强调顿悟(insight)的效果。 小弟尝试翻了一下，insight为心理学专有名词，google後多半译为"顿悟" 抛砖引玉，希望各位前辈多多指教。 原po我把原文转至translation版讨论 有问题请跟我说 谢谢! -- ※ 发信站 :批踢踢实业坊(ptt.cc) ◆ From: 123.192.193.221
