Abstract

Physicians and healthcare professionals are tasked with prioritizing their own self-care while also caring for patients and their complex needs within a broken healthcare system. The identity formation they experience can be directly impacted by changes in professional and personal contexts. This article examines the power of a visual work of art to create opportunities for self-reflection, expression, and vulnerability through established constructs of the “third thing in medical education” and museum-based educational approaches such as the Personal Response Tour. I then apply Marcus Bussey’s framework of the ‘future senses’ and anticipatory aesthetics to surrealist painter René Magritte’s 1966 work Decalcomania. With the added lens of personal narrative juxtaposed with Magritte’s visual work, the article delves into the power of anticipatory aesthetics and the future senses as a way to envision new futures and a path forward in the midst of professional identity questioning.

去狂热化与预知美学：憧憬未来的过去

医生和医疗保健专业人员的任务是优先考虑他们自己的自我保健，同时还要在一个破碎的医疗保健系统中照顾病人及其复杂的需求。职业和个人背景的变化会直接影响他们的身份形成。本文通过 "医学教育中的第三件事 "和个人反应之旅（Personal Response Tour）等基于博物馆的教育方法，探讨了视觉艺术作品在创造自我反思、表达和脆弱性机会方面的力量。然后，我将马库斯-布西（Marcus Bussey）的 "未来感官 "和预期美学框架应用于超现实主义画家勒内-马格里特（René Magritte）1966 年的作品《Decalcomania》。通过将个人叙事与马格利特的视觉作品并置，文章深入探讨了预期美学和未来感的力量，以此来展望新的未来，以及在职业身份受到质疑时的前进之路。

期刊介绍： Pastoral Psychology, founded in 1950, is one of the most well-established and respected journals in the field of psychology and religion/spirituality. Pastoral Psychology is an international forum that publishes scholarly, peer-reviewed original articles that address varied aspects of religion and spirituality from physical, human science, and interfaith perspectives. Historically, the word “pastoral” has referred to the care of individuals, families, and communities. Today, we additionally consider “pastoral” in terms of lived experience as it relates to embodiment, the social-political, economic, spiritual, and environmental dimensions of life. All theoretical perspectives are welcome, as Pastoral Psychology regularly publishes articles from a variety of schools of thought, including, but not limited to, psychoanalytic and other dynamic psychologies, cognitive psychologies, experimental and empirical psychologies, humanistic psychology, transpersonal psychology, and cultural psychology. Insights from existential perspectives, intersectional theories, philosophical and theological theories, gender and queer studies, sociology, anthropology, public mental health, and cultural and empirical studies are welcome. Theoretical contributions that have direct or indirect relevance for practice, broadly construed, are especially desirable, as our intended audience includes not only academics and scholars in religion and science, but also religious and spiritual leaders, as well as caregivers, chaplains, social workers, counselors/therapists, clinical psychologists, psychiatrists, and persons interested in matters of religion/spirituality and psychology. Pastoral Psychology welcomes scholarship and reflection from all religious and spiritual traditions. In addition to scholarly research papers, the journal welcomes thoughtful essays on a wide range of issues and various genres of writing, including book reviews and film reviews. The community of scholars represented in its pages has demonstrated that the life challenges the journal seeks to address are universally shared, yet also reflect individual social, cultural, and religious locations. The journal, therefore, welcomes submissions from scholars from around the world.
