過去二十多年來，《通往泰若比西亞之橋》一書已成為當代文學中最受歡迎的青少年小說之一，並成為世界各國文壇或課堂上廣泛討論的對象。在此書享有世界性聲譽的諸多原因中，帕特森對孩童和成人間所發展之微妙的心理關係，以及對孩童心理狀態的描繪，讓人不由得產生共鳴，相當引人注目且印象深刻。然而， 大部份的評論家甚少注意到此項寫作特色。因此，對於帕特森小說中有關孩童心理描述的研究，確實是值得我們努力探討的方向。

本論文探討凱薩琳帕特森《通往泰若比西亞之橋》中孩童的多樣性行為舉止和心理問題。因為瑞士心理學家容格對青少年心理的體認和帕特森頗多不謀而合之處，因此他的理論將成為本論文引證的理論基礎。

本論文共分五章，第一章簡述批評家對帕特森作品的研究概況，陳述容格對兒童個性發展的看法，並說明其理論如何適用於解析帕特森的作品。第二章介紹容格人格發展中有關孩童心理發展的理論，探討形成孩童性格的因素。第三章以容格觀點分析孩童內心世界，其不同的個性或豐富的內心想像世界及其心中的恐懼與憂慮等，都是我們可觀察並瞭解孩童的最佳依據。第四章探討《通往泰若比西亞之橋》中，主角的人際互動關係及朋友對他們的重要與影響，進而瞭解其思想或行為困擾的主因與可行的解決辦法。第五章總結以上分析，肯定帕特森對孩童心理的細膩觀察和準確描繪。並以容格的理論觀點，對於一些帕氏評論的不足之處加以補充說明，肯定容格理論對於解讀帕氏作品的貢獻。

For over 20 years, Bridge to Terabithia has been one of the most popular young-adult novels in contemporary literature. Katherine Paterson has written many books in her career, and achieved acclaim with her other titles, but Bridge to Terabithia remains her most popular book. Among all the causes of Paterson’s universal popularity, her capability in presenting the interaction between adults and children, as well as children’s psychology, is the most remarkable one.
This thesis explores the multifarious conducts and personalities of children in Katherine Paterson’s Bridge to Terabithia. Since the Swiss psychologist Carl G. Jung’s observations on children’s psychological development, to a large extent, correspond with what Paterson has presented in the novel, his theories will be adopted as the basis for the present analysis.
This thesis is divided into five chapters. In Chapter One, the introduction, I introduce the historical background and critical review of the novel and summarize my literary reaction and theoretical background. Chapter Two outlines Jungian theories about the development of personality. In Chapter Three, Jungian experiences are introduced from the development of personality, aiming to find out the outer and inner causes that combine to influence children’s personalities. Chapter Four discusses the thoughts and peculiar conducts of Jess Arons. Since Jess is a school boy, the analysis traces him back firstly to his family life, parents, former life, and then to the behavior of educators at his school. Through Jungian theories it is not difficult to identify the causes of Jess’ unusual personality. In the last chapter, I condense all my previous discussions into a statement that Jess’ story, as a particular case of an individual, could also be taken as an example of most adolescents who are in the developmental process of their lives.
It is hoped that this thesis will contribute to our understanding of the adolescents’ process of development. I also hope that, through the analysis of Bridge to Terabithia, we can gain an insight into some of the behavioral issues often observed in adolescents around us, some of which are psychologically universal. We would also be able to relate some theses to our everyday life experiences, and thus become better educated.
