Psychotherapy is an activity which takes many forms and which has many aims. The present paper argues that it can be viewed as a form of moral suasion. Kant's concepts of free will and ethics are described and these are then applied to the processes and outcome of psychotherapy. It is argued that his ideas, by linking rationality, free will and ethics into a single philosophical system, offer a valuable theoretical framework for thinking about aims and ethical issues in psychotherapy.
心理治疗是一种形式多样且目标众多的活动。本文认为，它可被视为一种道德劝诫形式。文中描述了康德的自由意志和伦理学概念，随后将这些概念应用于心理治疗的过程和结果。本文认为，康德的思想通过将理性、自由意志和伦理学融入一个统一的哲学体系，为思考心理治疗的目标和伦理问题提供了一个有价值的理论框架。
