英文摘要 |
This article uses hermeneutic phenomenology and data from psychoanalytic therapy to present a 16 year old female juvenile delinquent's growth process, which was termed searching for home. Jia-mei (a pseudonym) participated in a counseling regime two times a week for half a year. As her own family left her feeling lonely and empty, Jia-mei developed a transitional family life of her own within her circle of friends. It included not only a semi-family relationship, but also a love relationship. Her growth occurred through insight into her experiences with her transitional family as she came to realize the loss of her father's love in a psychoanalytic sense. Jia-mei then rebuilt links with her real family members and returned to her family and school life. Jia-mei's offensive behaviors reflected her pursuit of and desire for family relationships as well as a sense of belonging. Significant perspectives regarding psychoanalytic theory are clarified. The analysis strengthens the argument for the relevance of psychoanalysis with respect to Taiwanese psychological phenomenon. |
