Why read Sartre? Such is the question which is addressed in this article. In a series of publications, principally his monumental Being and Nothingness (1943), the French philosopher of existentialism challenged traditional psychoanalysis with his "existential psychoanalysis." It has remained a matter of debate whether Sartre's alternative approach to the analysis of human motivation and behavior has any value for the psychoanalytic therapist or theorist. In recent publications two clinicians, Charles Hanly (1979) and Richard Chessick (1984), who have read Sartre extensively, respond negatively, arguing that there is nothing productive in Sartre's challenge to Freudian psychoanalysis. In this article I would like to take issue with that point of view and argue that there is indeed much to be gained from reading Sartre, that the challenge which he poses to traditional psychoanalytic thinking with his "existential psychoanalysis" is in fact a productive one for the contemporary clinician and theorist.
为什么要读萨特？这就是本文要探讨的问题。在一系列著作中，主要是其不朽之作《存在与虚无》（1943年），这位法国存在主义哲学家以其“存在精神分析”对传统精神分析提出了挑战。萨特对人类动机和行为分析的另一种方法对精神分析治疗师或理论家是否有任何价值，这一直是个有争议的问题。在最近的出版物中，两位临床医生查尔斯·汉利（1979年）和理查德·切西克（1984年），他们广泛阅读了萨特的作品，给出了否定的回答，认为萨特对弗洛伊德精神分析的挑战毫无成效。在本文中，我想对这一观点提出异议，并认为阅读萨特确实有很多收获，他以“存在精神分析”对传统精神分析思维提出的挑战，事实上对当代临床医生和理论家来说是富有成效的。
