Abstract:
Traditionally, conversation-based psychotherapy mostly treats the body as a container for the brain, and the meaning and role of the body in therapeutic change is ignored. In recent years, with the rise of the theory of embodied cognition, the role of the body in cognitive and personality changes has been constantly explored and the therapeutic tendency of combining body with psychotherapy has gradually become popular. From the perspective of the embodied cognition, the body can play the following five roles in the change of psychotherapy: helping to regulate emotion, enhancing non-verbal communication, improving therapeutic relationship, improving self-growth and promoting interpersonal interaction. In the future, The psychotherapists can play the role of the body properly, develop new physical techniques, and further improve the effect of psychotherapy.
传统上,基于谈话的心理治疗大都将身体视为盛放大脑的容器,身体在治疗改变中的意义和作用受到忽视。近年来,随着具身认知理论的兴起,身体在认知与人格改变中的作用被不断发掘,将身体与心理治疗相结合的治疗倾向逐渐流行。从具身认知的视角看,身体在心理治疗的改变中可以起到如下作用:协助调控情绪,增强非言语沟通,改善治疗关系,提升自我成长,促进人际互动。未来心理治疗师可适当发挥身体的作用,开发新的身体技术,进一步提升心理治疗的效果。
