  • 那些神話教會我的人生:從眾神、英雄的故事思索生命難題的意義與解答
    By 麗茲.格林

    ★ 身為父母,你是否總為孩子安排一切,就像海洋女神泰蒂絲對兒子阿奇里斯過度保護,不懂放手?★ 在婚姻中,你是否從不願坦承這段關係早已千瘡百孔,就像宙斯和希拉彼此傷害,糾纏不休?★ 面對失去的遺憾,你是否沉溺於悲傷與追悔,就像奧斐斯追尋亡妻那樣執著?讀神話不只是好玩有趣,每則神話都反映著我們的人生,提醒我們面對自己的盲點和生命困境。在遠古的印度醫學裡,醫生開給心理障礙或情緒困擾者的處方是一則則故事,供病患思索,找出解決自身問題的答案。正如許多世紀以來,人們也用神話與傳說解釋生命的奧祕,並闡述生活的投射。書中收錄古希臘羅馬、希伯來、埃及、印度、美洲原住民、毛利、凱爾特與古北歐等各文化的五十一則神話、傳說。作者以優美的文字重述故事,再從現代心理學的角度加以解讀,帶領我們體會其中揭示的意義,並循著人生歷程,談論家庭、個人、愛情、權力慾望、生離死別等課題。我們將更深刻理解,神話不只連結著文明,更連結著你我的心理、性格、命運。也將看見故事如何呼應生活百態,如何療癒所有我們正遭遇的迷惘困惑,尋得生命旅程所需的解答與出口。【貼心推薦】(以上按姓氏筆畫排列)心曦心理諮商所 所長、《情緒勒索》作者 周慕姿倫敦大學皇家中央演講與戲劇學院 戲劇與動作治療碩士、英國HCPC註冊戲劇治療師 柳冠竹諮商心理師 張義平?出版社 商周出版 (城邦)
