| Summary: | The Chinese concept of Yin and Yang is very dynamic and fluid. It is not just a representation of 'black and white fish swimming gracefully around each other' (Suler, 1993, p. 210), or of masculine and feminine, light and dark; rather it is a flowing movement/motion that can not only represent the psychological and physical health of a person, but also provide images for change and transformation. This paper will explore how this holistic Eastern philosophy can offer practical ideas about the social and psychological processes we encounter in counselling and psychotherapy. Yin/Yang also includes the concept of Chi or Tai Chi, and it will be demonstrated that when Chi is understood and developed it can be used to restore the dynamic flow of yin and yang. |
