A sizable part is also devoted to illustrate the specificity of traumas triggered by significant others. Whereas the survivors' psychic allegiance to the initiators of traumas may hinder their process of recovery, without recovery survivors may inadvertently transmit the traumas to the next generation through their problematic modes of relating. Successful recovery thus depends on the generation of a flexible narrative, together with the fostering of some enriching relationships. / Furthermore, it is shown that both relationships and narratives are like double-edged swords that the trauma survivors can 'use' beneficially or harmfully. Besides emphasizing the efficacy of utilizing narratives to assist a person to overcome his or her relational traumas, the present work simultaneously indicates the limits of narratives, particularly when an individual constructs a depleting rather than a life-enhancing narrative. The present work argues that the presence of a caring other or a welcoming context is indispensable to the annulment of negative impacts brought about by the formation of an inflexible narrative. / Integral to this dissertation are three theoretical assumptions. First, the present work posits a model of relational self, which is in contradistinction to the established autonomous model of self. It asserts that humans' susceptibility to the influences of others is clearly manifested in relational traumas. Finally, the present work also attests to the constructed nature of human realities, maintaining that a person's feeling is predicated on how he or she construes and interprets the world. Recovery from relational traumas thus depends on a person's ability to construct an alternative interpretation of the past traumas facilitated by the act of narrating the traumatic memory. / This dissertation explores the interrelationship of relationality, traumas and narratives in contemporary writings produced by overseas writers of Chinese ethnicity. As the first book-length study to adopt such an interdisciplinary approach---blending contemporary research and theories on narrative studies, psychology and psychotherapies with literary studies---to examine this group of literary works, this dissertation intends to extend the frontier of current scholarship associated with Chinese diasporic writings, which have frequently been overwhelmed by discussions on the socio-political level. / Young Ada. / "August 2005." / Source: Dissertation Abstracts International, Volume: 67-07, Section: A, page: 2575. / Thesis (Ph.D.)--Chinese University of Hong Kong, 2005. / Includes bibliographical references (p. 212-221). / Electronic reproduction.

The purpose of this study was to determine the effectiveness of filial therapy in: (a) increasing Chinese parents' empathic behavior with their children; (b) increasing Chinese parents' attitude of acceptance toward their children; and (c) reducing Chinese parents' stress related to parenting. The experimental group, consisting of 18 Chinese parents, received 10 weekly 2-hour filial therapy training sessions and conducted a weekly 3 0-minute play session with one of their children. The control group, consisting of 16 Chinese parents, received no treatment during the ten weeks. All the parents were videotaped playing with their child before and after the training as a means of measuring change in empathic behavior. The two written self-report instruments completed for pretesting and posttesting purposes were the Porter Parental Acceptance Scale and the Parenting Stress Index. Analyses of Covariance revealed that the Chinese parents in the experimental group had significant changes in all 12 hypotheses, including (a) a significant increase in their level of empathic interactions with their children; (b) a significant increase in their attitude of acceptance toward their children; and (c) a significant reduction in their level of stress related to parenting. This study supports filial therapy as an effective intervention for Chinese parents and their children. Filial therapy equips Chinese parents with healthy parenting skills and knowledge and indirectly empowers Chinese children who experience an increase in parental empathy and acceptance. Thus, filial therapy offers significant possibilities for promoting the parent-child relationship and well-being of Chinese families.
