What they discovered was that his life might have literally flashed before his eyes, as his brain produced neural oscillations (神经振荡). Commonly known as brain waves

20、这套新的诊断标准，针对的是极小的一部分人群。他们在经历亲友过世的一年后，依旧失魂落魄，日思夜想，无法释怀，难以回到原有的生活状态。哥伦比亚大学精神病学教授，M凯瑟琳希尔博士表示，以后会出现哪些治疗方案，尚难预测。她补充道：“坦白来讲，只要能帮助到患者，我都支持。”54岁的艾米库佐拉-科恩说，希尔博士的疗法帮她走出了难熬的怪圈。三年前，库佐拉-科恩女士的弟弟在睡梦中突发心脏病过世。她发现，自己总是不受控地回想起弟弟去世前的那些时日，一直在琢磨她是不是该早点儿注意到弟弟的身体不适，或者应该敦促他去看急诊。 她说：“我整个人都处于一种抗拒的状态，成天在想这不可能，这只是一场梦。我感觉自己的生活似乎停摆了。”她参加了希尔博士的延长哀伤障碍疗法，为期十六次。在与治疗师的咨询中，她会讲述自己得知弟弟去世那天的经历。这很痛苦，但经过这一过程，她也逐渐排走了记忆中的惶恐。她说，到了最后，自己终于接受了弟弟去世这一现实。她表示，这一诊断的重要性，单纯在于它能开启正确的治疗。她说：“我觉得丢脸吗？尴尬吗？我觉得自己精神失常了吗？并没有，我需要的，是专业的帮助。”拓展练习阅读理解参考答案28.C 29.B 30.D 31.C
