在瑞士的一个国际心理学会议上,我认识了一个美国人,他向我大力推荐他所创立的“永不放弃的希望”的积极心理治疗理论。他讲了自已曾做过的一个实验:将两只大白鼠丢入一个装了水的器皿中,它们会拼命地挣扎求生。一般维持的时间是8分钟左右,然后,他在同样的器皿中放入另外两只大白鼠,在它们挣扎了5分钟左右的时候,放入一个可以让它们爬出器皿的跳板,这两只大白鼠得以活下来。若干天后,再将这对大难不死的大白鼠放入同样的器皿,结果真的令人吃惊:两只大白鼠竟然可以坚持24分钟,3倍于一般情况下能够坚持的时间。

At an international psychology conference in Switzerland, I met an American and he strongly recommended to me the positive psychotherapy theory he founded “Never give up hope.” He talked about an experiment he had done: throwing two rats into a water-filled vessel that struggled to survive. It usually takes about eight minutes, and then he puts two other rats in the same vessel and places them in a springboard that allows them to climb out of the vessel when they are struggling for about five minutes Rats can survive. After a couple of days, putting the same rat into the same vessel again was a real surprise: two rats survived for 24 minutes, three times as long as they could under normal conditions.
