In order to solve psychological problems, the west developed a discipline called psychology. I have learned the concept of psychology: the study of human psychological phenomena and their psychological functions and behavioral activities under the influence, including basic psychology and applied psychology. Its research involves many fields such as perception, cognition, emotion, thinking, personality, behavior habits, interpersonal relationship, social relationship and so on. , but also involves many fields of daily life-family, education, health, society and so on.
It looks taller. What is certain is that psychology does not belong to science and engineering, but belongs to humanities and social sciences, right? People in China call this research not psychology, but psychology, or simply "psychology".
Whether it is called psychology or psychology, the ultimate goal of research is to make people have a sound personality, correct cognition, control their emotions, obtain mental health, cultivate their good behavior habits, and thus obtain good interpersonal relationships.
Western psychology is generally derived from people's external behavior and traced back to the reasons why people produce certain behaviors. For example, I often hear psychological theory that the imperfection of childhood family or the abuse of parents will do psychological harm to adults. According to the viewpoint of oriental psychology, this psychology of finding reasons from the outside is unhealthy in itself. If we infer from this, Shun Di was poisoned by a family since he was a child, and the two sages of Confucius and Mencius had an imperfect family since he was a child. According to western psychology, how unhealthy should they be as adults? But it turns out that they are not only healthy, but also benefit millions of people.
In the eyes of eastern culture, the beginning of life is good. Human nature is good. When doing things for others, "try your best" means "putting yourself in others", that is, "don't do to others what you don't want others to do to you", that is, "don't do to others what you don't want others to do to you". By constantly cultivating their knowledge and constantly reflecting on their behavior, such people will never have the idea of complaining about others, which is definitely a healthy psychology.
The west believes that human nature is evil and needs redemption. The evil of human nature is not innate, but a lot of bad habits developed by people, which are gradually influenced. Only through continuous learning and opening the seeds of his innate goodness, all his evil words and deeds will naturally decompose, which is what Buddhists say, "put down the butcher's knife and become a Buddha."
For the general public, which is the essence of mental health, psychology or psychology, which is more thorough and clear, and which is more likely to make people have good interpersonal skills?
