從聽障者／聾人的成長經驗談其親密關係
To Understand the Intimate Relationships of the Deaf and Hard of Hearing from Their Living Experiences
摘要
本文藉由耙梳聽障者／聾人（以下簡稱為聾人）的成長經驗及對其親密關係的影響，使心理輔導與諮商人員（以下統稱為助人者）更能理解聾人，提供符合其文化的服務。筆者從寂寞孤單、自卑、缺乏親密關係與親職的藍圖及楷模、創傷經驗等議題，討論聾人所處的社會脈絡及其面對親密關係時的心理掙扎。寂寞可能讓他渴求親密關係，自卑及創傷經驗卻讓他害怕進入關係也害怕失去關係。筆者建議助人者能不急於問題解決，多瞭解聾案主的成長史，傾聽與承接他的感受，並能尊重其自主性。解決案主的當前困境或伴侶間的衝突，調整聽說的狀況或溝通型態，或許是策略中的一環，但非全部。助人者需把障礙納入考慮，就像考慮案主的其他特徵一樣，不忽略它也不只看重它，而要從案主作為一個人如何過生活去理解他的經驗，方能稍稍接近他。
