Anton Boisen was a seminal figure in the psychology of religion and pastoral psychology, but scholars have remained skeptical about his theoretical contributions and have perpetuated the stigma surrounding his psychiatric diagnosis and incarceration. I argue that Boisen was a prophet, ahead of his time, and that the academy has been slow to hear his salient critiques of the psychiatric system, and his contention that "psychosis" and "mystical experience" are overlapping phenomena. Most significantly, scholars have ignored the kernel of prophetic truth in Boisen's own visionary experience, which, remarkably, in 1920, predicted the ecological crisis of our current age. Reclaiming Boisen's unique voice might help us reclaim the uniqueness of the disciplines he helped birth.
安东·博伊森是宗教心理学和牧师心理学领域的重要人物，但学者们对他的理论贡献一直持怀疑态度，并延续了围绕他的精神科诊断和监禁的污名。我认为博伊森是一个先知，他超越了他的时代，而学术界一直迟迟未能听取他对精神病学系统的尖锐批评，以及他关于“精神病”和“神秘体验”是重叠现象的论点。最重要的是，学者们忽略了博伊森自己的幻象体验中的先知真理的核心，值得注意的是，这一体验在 1920 年就预言了我们这个时代的生态危机。重新找回博伊森独特的声音或许有助于我们找回他所帮助开创的学科的独特性。
