谢谢你，没有逼我热爱生活
心理治疗的成功在很大程度上依赖于关系技能，自杀患者的治疗也不例外(Norcross & Lambert, 2018)。然而一个并不理想的情况是，很多自杀患者报告说，他们的治疗师并没有总是表现出那些基本的关系品质(例如, Blanchard & Farber, 2020; Hom et al., 2020; Hom et al., 2021; Richards et al., 2019a; Richards et al., 2019b)。 自杀患者关于心理治疗中什么帮助了他们，或什么没有帮助到他们的报告，对心理治疗训练者和督导师而言或许是一种帮助，让他们在自己的工作中补充对证据支持的关系的介绍。 针对自杀患者的质性研究表明，他们希望心理治疗师能够：(1)不加评判地倾听他们；(2)对他们的表露做出适当的反应；(3)允许他们对治疗期间发生的事情保有发言权。 倾听我 心理治疗的一项基本技能是对患者表达共情的能力(Norcross & Lambert, 2018)。当被问到他们的治疗师可以如何提高服务质量时，近三分之一有自杀倾向的患者指出了倾听的重要性(Hom et al., 2021)。他们希望治疗师： “积极倾听患者所说的话” “当我们正在尝试回答你们的问题时，不要打断” “倾听他们(患者)的体验，并相信他们知道自身的感受，知道他们需要什么来好好生活” 当被问到心理治疗中的什么对他们有帮助时，自杀患者同样强调了倾听与理解(Schembari et al., 2016, p. 220)： “被倾听，被认真对待的感觉” “正是有个人理解我的感受有多糟糕” 适度的反应 许多患者报告说，对于他们的表露，治疗师要么反应过度，要么反应不足。 一些专业人员在没有考虑患者的意见，或彻底评估情况的前提下，就断定他们需要住院(Richards et al., 2019b)： “我总是遇到一个问题，就是一旦事情开始变得困难，他们就立即建议我去精神病院” “就好像是……(医院是)他们的首选，而它本应该是最后的选择”。 […]

In most countries, factories are no longer allowed to […]
