Several authors have written intriguingly about the right and left hemispheres of the brain. Each hemisphere perceives the world differently, impacting that which it looks upon and reinforcing our particular world view. Notably, the left hemisphere, has always been assumed to be the dominant hemisphere, but only because it has language and is so adept at formulating arguments. The detached mode of the left hemisphere, while useful and necessary to get distance, is no more real than the engaged, imaginative approach of the right hemisphere. Having written about self-sufficiency as a defense against feeling alone and helpless, I now consider these rational, problem solving, answer generating, and planning activities as products of the left hemisphere. The approach that I am suggesting is of calling our patients' attention to how their left hemisphere overpowers the new, more uncertain voice of the right hemisphere just after it speaks in a session.
几位作者饶有趣味地写过关于大脑左右半球的内容。每个半球对世界的感知都不同，影响着它所看待的事物，并强化我们特定的世界观。值得注意的是，左半球一直被认为是主导半球，但这仅仅是因为它拥有语言能力且非常擅长构建论点。左半球的分离模式虽然在保持距离方面有用且必要，但并不比右半球积极主动、富有想象力的方式更真实。在写了关于将自给自足作为抵御孤独和无助感的一种防御机制后，我现在认为这些理性、解决问题、生成答案和规划的活动是左半球的产物。我所建议的方法是，在治疗过程中，当右半球刚发出新的、更不确定的声音后，就要让我们的患者注意到他们的左半球是如何压制右半球的声音的。
