The book takes a fresh look at modern Japan, and does not treat the Japanese as enigmatic or mysterious people; their ways of thinking and their culture can be explained by an honest appraisal of their history and of the norms that have shaped this history. This book not only reveals the mentality and national character of modern Japanese people but also attempts to explore and analyze the roots of their mannerisms. Everyone knows that the Japanese are generally more polite than other nationalities, but why is this so? Why do they embrace a relaxed attitude when being served by others? Surely, there must be definite reasons for these observations. Delving into the social values of the Japanese, why do they value loyalty and commitment so much? For how long have they been upholding these virtues? Why, when interrogated by the police, even without being beaten tortured, do they easily confess guilt for crimes that they have not committed? What are the reasons for such behaviors? All thes

For this special issue on “New Generation Women's Fiction from Taiwan,” we have specially invited Professor Lee Kuei Yun of the Graduate Institute of Taiwan Literature at Taiwan's Tsing Hua University to be guest editor and take responsibility for the selections. Because of space limitations it has been possible only to select twelve short stories by eleven woman writers. These writers were all born in the 1970s or later and their works were published in the year 2000 or later. Thus, they represent a period of social change in twenty-first century Taiwan and the spirit of the new generation. The introduction that we asked Professor Lee to provide is entitled “Trauma, esire, Contemporary Women's Voices.” Aside from giving a brief account of the eleven writers and their works, Professor Lee sketches “a number of writerly qualities that become perceptible… [that] represent the internal trauma, female consciousness, physical lust, cat-uman metaphors, and everyday life, etc.” In her introdu

★ 首本以華人視角探討IFS的心理學專書 ★風行歐美的革命性心理療法！ 「我們都有缺陷，也都值得被愛； 我們都會犯錯，同時也在成長。」―留佩萱 為何你有時溫和、有時憤怒？感到快樂、卻也在痛苦裡打轉？ 這些都是你，同時有許多內在人格存在於心裡。 各種看似傷害的負面情緒與身心問題，都只是為了保護自己， IFS讓你有機會進到內心去認識他們，理解並擁抱他們， 找回自己是誰，讓不完美但完整的自己，繼續成長與前行！ 人，真的很複雜。 你可能被傷害過，也曾傷害過別人； 渴望有歸屬感、被看見，又害怕展現脆弱、害怕真實的自己會被拒絕； 感到快樂、喜悅、痛苦、悲傷、憤怒、忌妒、失望……； 希望自己可以真實地活著，但又不斷推開生命中真實的情緒。 所以總在不斷出現的各種身心問題中掙扎，承受內在衝突。 IFS正是能帶你走出痛苦迴圈的心理治療法。 在歐美，「內在家庭系統」（Internal Family Systems, IFS）因成效斐然， 數十年來，已然成為最受歡迎的心理療法， 無論是創傷復原、成癮行為、憂鬱⋯⋯都能有效療癒。 IFS認為正面、負面都是自己的一部分（Part, 或稱內在人格）， 內心就像一棟大房子，像家庭一樣，有不同的成員居住其中， 這些內在部分，在成長過程中經歷過各種事件，用不同方式保護著你。 唯有找出自己的內在衝突根源、對話並理解， 即能找回自己是誰，療癒過去的創傷。 ●什麼是「內在家庭系統」？ 「內在家庭系統治療」（Internal Family Systems Therapy），簡稱IFS，是近年在國外十分風靡的心理治療法， IFS認為，我們的內心就像一棟大房子，裡面居住著許多不同的「部分」(parts)， 而這些「部分」(parts)也會如同家庭成員般互動。 有些「部分」是正面的，他會鞭策、批評你，幫助你生活規律、受人稱讚； 有些「部分」是負面的，他會轉移你的注意力，透過暴飲暴食，喝醉酒、沉迷性愛，幫助你遺忘痛苦。 每個「部分」都有其存在意義，無論他們做出什麼行為，最終目的都是為了保護你不受傷害。 IFS並非將你將不好的「部分」趕走，而是幫助你面對內心的脆弱、不安，接納這些情緒， 療癒你曾經受的傷。 療癒，就是找回你最初的「自我」(Self)，是你真正的本質， 當你的「自我」成為內在領導者後，就能夠撐起空間給每一個內在部分， 你的「自我」能夠跟這些情緒共處，而不是
