我感謝Malcolm A. Brown許多有益的討論和澄清,這大大有助於本章的寫作過程,也感謝Dr. Sidney M. Jourard, Marilyn
Geist, Dr. William Wharton, Joe T. Hart, David Le Roy, 和 Ruth Nielsenn的寶貴意見和編輯上的幫助。
After a few pages which state two main problems and two observations, a theory
of personality change will be presented. The theory is another step in the
continuing work on "experiencing" (Gendlin, 1957, 1962b; Gendlin and Zimring,
1955). The theory of experiencing provides a frame of reference in which
theoretical considerations are viewed in a new way.
經過幾頁陳述兩個主要問題和兩個觀察,一個關於人格變化的理論將要面世。該理論是對“體驗”的持續研究中邁出的又一步(簡德林, 1957 , 1962b ; 簡德林和Zimring
, 1955)。這個關於體驗的理論,提供了一個以新的方式看待理論思考的參考框架。
A theory requires terms, defined words with which to specify observations, and a
formulation of a chain of theoretical hypotheses. The theory presented here is
developed within this basic structure, and special notice should be given to the
new terms which are introduced and defined. These terms are pointed out and
numbered. (We can have a genuine theory only with carefully defined terms, and
only by using defined terms can we later modify, improve, and extend theory.)
一個理論需要術語,定義來具體說明觀察結果,以及一連串理論假設的建構。這裏提出的理論是在這一基本框架上發展出來的,並應特別注意這裏介紹和界定的新術語。這些術語被命名和編號。
(我們可以有一個只有仔細界定的術語的真正的理論,並且只有通過使用定義的術語,我們可以以後修改,改進和擴展該理論。 )
