本文提出人文臨床的課題，並據以做為推廣人文課程革新計畫的行動指引。在2009年9月，作者們在慈濟大學人文社會學院召開人文臨床探索論壇，試圖結合藝術、文學、中文、哲學、宗教以及社會科學領域（醫療人類學、臨床與諮商心理學、精神分析、本土心理學、社會工作、護理學等）的學者，對人文臨床做出多元性的詮釋。本文在綜合各領域的說法，從認識論、實踐論、技藝學與實踐策略等觀點，對人文臨床的教學與研究提出一種看法，一種可能的進路。

This paper proposes the idea of humanistic clinical studies (humanistic clinic) as the foundation and direction to facilitate the reform of humanistic curriculum, instruction and research. In Sept. 2009, a preliminary meeting, which gathered scholars from arts, literature, Chinese, philosophy, religious study and social sciences (anthropology, clinical and counseling psychology, psychoanalysis, indigenous sychology, social work, and nursing etc.), was held in the Buddhist Tzu Chi iversity to explore hermeneutically the meanings and dimensions of humanities-clinical studies. Concluding the results from that discussion, this paper further articulates the epistemology, the praxis, the technique, and the strategy of the teaching and research of humanistic clinical studies (humanistic clinic) so as to advance the possible route for its evelopment.
