Chinese philosophy, Chinese psychology, Comparative studies.Abstract
On the Road to Mental Health in China, the author looks firstly at the perspective of mental health that Western studies have presented in China in the 20th and 21st centuries, based on an analysis of the works of psychoanalysts such as Carl Jung and social psychologist Michael Harris Bond in Beyond the Chinese Face (1991) and in the Oxford Handbook of Chinese Psychology (2010), contrasting them in the second part of the text with the data provided by Chinese authors on the current state of this field of research in the country, for example, those presented by Qicheng Jing and Xiaolan Fu (2001) in “Modern Chinese Psychology: its Indigenous Roots and International Influence”, or even with the analysis of the perspective of Daniel T. L. Shek (2010) when the authors try to understand what is distinctively Chinese about Chinese psychology. Throughout the paper, the link of Chinese tradition is searched from the field of social psychology towards anthropological philosophy.
