The Explore Of Theory And Practice Of Counseling And Psychotherapy Under Traditional Culture

Since the seventies and eighties of last century, people had questioned the appropriateness of the wholesale import of Western psychology for the local people. The trend of localization of psychology is increasingly clear. Undeniably, in the localization of psychological approach, the traditional cultural influences can not be replaced. Psychological characteristics of the Chinese people are affected in many aspects by traditional culture. To some extent, the local traditional psychology is the psychology under the background of traditional culture. As Mr. Lu-Jia Ge said: "Psychology is the potential major scientific and under different cultures psychology." The Psychology of counseling and treatment as one of the major applications is also increasing emphasis on the factors of traditional culture. Chinese Psychology is committed to this for years. The department of Psychotherapy is trying to order and tap the system, for the better psychological theory and practice of the local community. This will not only enhance the strength of our field of psychology and self-confidence, but also will be supplementary and reference of the Western psychology.In the West, there are many aspects different from our country; one of the main differences is in culture. Based on Western culture, some major psychological schools such as mental analysis, behavior therapy, cognitive therapy, etc, have shortcomings in the human view, diagnostic mode, therapeutic relationship, therapies and treatment goal. Using these theories to treat certain psychological problems of local people is not quite fit. To find the right treatment concept and system, we should take into account the factors of traditional culture. Existing research emphasis on one aspect of traditional culture (Confucianism, Taoism and Buddhism).Such as Taoist cognitive therapy, and Buddhist psychological therapy, etc.These therapies has proved to be successful in practice. But the theory and practice system still need to improve.This paper attempts to integrate traditional culture and to explore the perspective psychological therapy, to contribute to the establishment of local system. First, the traditional definition of culture on mental health. From the perspective of traditional culture, mental health is the well-adapted of individual with society,others and their heart. In such a state, the individual is active, both to guide itself and to help others. Second, the traditional culture of the consultative relations, which emphasis more on traditional culture, a kind of consultant-dominated "Love and Empathy"type of relationship counseling. Third, The methods affected by the traditional culture. There are many traditional culture methods for regulating and treating mood, not as the West which use "self" to rule "self", while the non-modified lead the emergence of the true self, and ultimately "no self." Fourth, the goals of the psychological counseling and treatment under traditional culture. The goal of the psychology should not just "not sick", but have development, to get the energy and wisdom of life.This article also tries to use the traditional culture concept in practice, to prove the concepts of traditional culture in psychotherapy of local people. The result of this study suggests that the psychological clinic should consciously attach more importance theorization of Chinese indigenous psychotherapy idea, which may promote the theorization of Chinese indigenous psychotherapy system with practical evidence reversely.
