Abstract

From the perspective of poetry therapy, the author relates Western views of poetic time, rhythm, literary creation, and metaphoric language to ancient Chinese conceptions of literature and to the haiku tradition. The author analyzes and develops practical approaches to using haiku for therapeutic, rehabilitative, and preventive purposes. In haikus, he detects potential to explorative and meditative self- and communal transformation, flexible coping with current anxieties, and the advancement of social and cultural well-being. The ecopoetic applications of haiku pave way to more empathic connections of human beings to nature and the whole cosmos.

Abstract (Chinese)

从诗歌疗法的角度,作者将西方关于诗歌时间、节奏、文学创作和隐喻语言的观点与中国古代文学观念和俳句传统联系起来。作者分析并发展了将俳句用于治疗、康复和预防目的实践方法。在俳句中,他发现了探索性和冥想式的自我转变和社区转变、灵活应对当前焦虑以及促进社会和文化福祉的潜力。俳句的生态诗学应用为人类与自然和整个宇宙建立更多的共情连接铺平了道路。
