Remove Empty Technology Main Points Of Operation And Theory Of Parsing

Moving to Emptiness Technique (MET) is an indigenous psychotherapy which was created by professor Liu tianjun in Beijing University of Chinese Medicine. It comes from the oriental ancient Qigong therapy and western modern psychotherapies. MET was initially reported at the5th international psychotherapy congress. Basing on visualization and meditation skills, MET is a psychotherapy to reduce or eliminate psychosomatic symptoms of mental disorders, by inducing client to move imaginative container within imaginative symbols of their symptoms in different mantel distances.MET consists of outpatient treatment and homework. The purpose of outpatient treatment is to solve problems. The aim of homework is to give up ego mask and perfect personality. Nine steps operating procedure of MET are introduced as below. First step is simple Qigong relaxation training which named "three adjustments to relax". Second step is to confirm the problem that needs to be resolved. Third step is imaging symbol of the problem. Fourth step is imaging container to load the symbol. Fifth step is painting symbol and container. Sixth step is simple Qigong relaxation training which named "three adjustments to relax". Seventh step is loading the symbol into the container. Eighth step is moving the container loaded the symbol repeatedly in different distances. Nineth step is openning the container to evaluate the efficacy. Concrete operation of homework is staying in emptiness, by moving container to endless after several times repeatedly or coming in emptiness directly. Usually outpatient treatment proceeds on a model that therapist induce and help client to finishi mental task. While homework proceeds on a model that client do autonomous task and guided by therapist on further consultation.The theory of MET is established in Qigong and Chinese medicine and morden psychology, using concrete thinking as its thinking mode. Three adjustments skills are used in "three adjustments to relax trainning"of MET, while visualization and meditation skills are used throughout MET. Concept of wholism and syndrome differentiation and treatment of Chinese medicine reflect on the thinking of diagnosis and treatment in MET. Modern thinking psychology and psychology therapy techniques such as behavioral therapy and hypnosis have some reference for the organization structure and term expression of MET. Although theoretical framework of MET has finished, operating procedure has been proposed,clinical application has started,but as a new technique of indigenous psychotherapy,there is still a lack of academic research about MET systematically. The mission of this thesis is to expatiate operational mechanism and key points and detail of nine steps,using depth interview and case analysis and experience summary,referring to MET operations manual written by professor Liu tianjun. The study offers useful theory and criterion for clinical application of MET. As the theory of MET roots in orient traditional philosophy,and blends with Western modern psychology thoughts,a system of language is needed to communicate ancient and modern Chinese and foreign,so can be able to interprete meanings of operating procedure of MET. So this thesis also focuses on expression with accessible language instead of Qigong and Chinese medicine term or psychological term.MET has some characteristics as follows.MET is better at solving symptoms and mood problems, which caused by not only psychosomatic diseases and life events, but also mental illness or psychological disorder or even physical symptoms. MET may apply to psychological consultation or psychotherapy, both individual and group therapy. MET can lower impedence during treatment and not influence efficacy. So it is specially suits for the kind of clients having privacy.The symbol of problem is reification of psychosomatic symptoms, and the container is projection on processing power against problem. Moving the container within symbol signify manipulation of problem, because moving means intervention. Repairing container and moving and practicing of emptiness are innovations of MET.Standardized operation of MET has been formed for learning easily, but it is also flexible to make fine-tune according specific case. As the operation is induced by therapist with instructions or questions, therapeutic relationships between therapist and client is authoritative. Each part of the operation embodies sufficient significance in treatment, and every detail could be the entry point for therapist and client. The thinking mode should change into concrete thinking throughout MET, whether in the procedure of shaping imagination, or during the moving. Only if use concrete thinking, it is the real entrance into operation of MET.There are three gradations of realm during whole operationg of MET. First realm is moving caused emptiness, aim for symptomatic treatment by active intervention. Second realm is moving into emptiness actively, aim for experiencing low-level emptiness and stillness, then approaching to harmony of body and mind slowly. Trird realm is enter pure emptiness naturely and directly, aim for practicing into unity of heaven and human,then perfecting individual form the whole.Emphasis of outpatient treatment is to realize moving significance, which is leading by therapist, using instructions and explanations and questionins and so on. Emphasis of homework is to experience emptiness, which is completed by clients on their own, while receiveing guidance from therapist. The operation of MET lends to adjust body and mental status, and achieve specific goal. Homework focuses on growth of self, and it is a way to ultimate goal. According to traditional Chinese medicine, long time experiencing in emptiness and stillness imply prevention in psychological sense.MET is a blended psychotherapie of easten and westen psychological thoughts and therapies, but the fundation is oriental self-cultivation. Besides, MET is not only a therapy technique, but also a self-help technique.That means both give a person fish and teach him fish. MET could be operated by oneself after client mastering it, thereby he can face and solve problems all by himself, and arrive at the goal of self-development finally.
