An academic seminar for students and colleagues of Renmin University of China on November 16, 2020 (Monday) from 3:00 p.m. to 4:30 p.m.
以下为是次参与讲座的中国人民大学学生(社会工作系本科/MS学生)的感受摘要:
- “我印象最深刻的是一个小video中关于孩子要不要吃药的讨论,我们太多时候去关注怎么采取行动让儿童变乖,却忽略了儿童自己也曾付出过努力。”
- “马教授为我们介绍的这种多元家庭治疗的小组方法,让我看到了每个家庭有治愈的能力,我们可以为他们营造具有安全感的亲子和同辈支持环境,为这些特殊群体带来更多生命的可能。”
- “除此之外,马教授的精彩分享让我感受到了社会工作专业的独特魅力。”
- 本次讲座中有张图片引起了我的思考,一个儿童提出‘’不想像狗一样被反覆训练‘’。
- “关于多动症儿童的治疗,我们往往只关注他们内在行为的表现是否符合传统的标准,只要能他们安静、专注,便是‘’好‘’的方法,却忽视了他们作为独立个体的内心感受。”
- “马教授的讲座让我们了解到‘’多元家庭治疗‘’的独特之处,在孩子关系的塑造和朋辈关系的支持中能以更自然的方式为这些特殊儿童带来更多的发展可能性。”
