The problems of the introduction of Baumtest into Japan and revaluation of the thought of Koch

本研究的目的如下：1)通过对德文原文《Der Baumtest dritte Aufl》的细读，阐明并重新评价将Baumtest作为心理诊断辅助工具的卡尔·科赫（Karl Koch）的思想；“Der Baumtest”的日语翻译，3)考察Baumtest传入日本的过程，4)探讨Baumtest临床应用和发展的案例研究风格。结果：1)通过语义分析揭示了科赫所说的“精神诊断”的含义。科赫打算建立鲍姆特斯拉辅助全面了解的主题，而不是鉴别诊断。后者不是最终目标，而只是前者的一部分。2)将英、日文译文与德文原文进行比较。结果发现，由于译者不了解科赫的基本立场和概念，导致译文难以理解。原文中的案例解读最令人印象深刻地体现了科赫的基本态度，即在保留和把握鲍姆形象的同时，坚持直觉启发的重要性，通过细致的描述自然地进行解读，从内部和外部看形象。3)通过文献研究发现，日本译者在介绍鲍姆斯特语时，主要是从其发展方面和空间象征主义方面进行介绍，而忽略了上述科赫语的基本概念。4)虽然案例研究似乎是临床上应用鲍姆氏试验的一种有力而有效的方法，但我们必须采用一次集中的案例研究方式，同时也要采用常规的方式，以更加关注鲍姆形象。

The aims of this study are as follows ; 1) to elucidate and revaluate the thought of Karl Koch who established the Baumtest as an aid of psychodiagnosis through the close reading of the original German text of "Der Baumtest dritte Aufl.", 2) to make clear the problems of the English and. Japanese translation of "Der Baumtest", 3) to examine the process of the introduction of Baumtest into Japan and 4) to discuss the style of case study for the clinical application and development of Baumtest.The results : 1) What Koch meant by "Psychodiagnose" is revealed through the semantic analysis. Koch intended to establish Baumtest as an aid for comprehensive understanding of the subject, rather than for differential diagnosis. The latter is not a final goal but included as only a part of the former. 2) The English and Japanese translation was compared with the original German text. It was found that the translators did not understand the basic stance and concepts of Koch, which resulted in making the translated version incomprehensible. The case interpretation in the original text showed the most impressively the basic attitudes of Koch, that is, to insist on the importance of intuition inspired while keeping and holding the Baum image in mind, careful description which leads to interpretation naturally and seeing the image both internally and externally. 3) It was found through the literature research that Japanese translators tried to introduce the Baumtest mainly on its developmental aspect and space symbolism without the basic concepts of Koch as above. 4) Although case study seems to be a powerful and effective method for applying Baumtest clinically, we have to adopt one-session focused style of case study as well as the conventional style to make more focus on the Baum image.
