The Basic Principle and Course of Psychological Consultation and Mind-cure of Traditional Chinese Medicine / 国际中医中药杂志

ABSTRACT

This paper made a explore on basic standpoint of human being, and basic principle and process of psychological consult and mind-cure recorded in Huangdi's Internal Classic. We found the essence of self-realization is the perception of body activity in different levels, which can be divided into cognitional evaluation, self-concept evaluation and body-direct evaluation. Self-concept evaluation and body-direct evaluation were full-fledged at 10 years old, and the cognitional evaluation continues its development after 10 years old. The disparity of formed concepts between Self-concept evaluation and body-direct evaluation leads to various mental state harassment. The general therapeutic principle for mind-cure is to restore coherence of Self-concept evaluation and body-direct evaluation by weakening the former one and enhancing the later one. The concrete process includes three procedures of establishing therapeutic relationship, deciding therapeutic action, and proving therapeutic result.
