[통합적연구] 전인치유를 위한 내적치유에 대한 목회상담학적 고찰

This study attempts to recover a biblical meaning and principles of "Inner healing" in a reformed perspective. Even in the field of Pastoral Counseling, there has been a strong tendency of using a term `Inner Healing` as similar concepts such as `emotional hurt healing` and `bad memory healing,` However, such tendency seems to be more deeply rooted in the psychological understanding of human beings. On the ground of the theological anthropology in a reformed perspective, we can say that a term "Inner Healing" must be understood in the light of "Holistic Healing." Because, according to the biblical understanding, human being is considered as a whole being, whose spiritual, psychological, physical, intellectual, emotional, volitional dimensions are so organically intermingled that they cannot be separated in a substantial level. It means that we cannot deal with separately only a human being`s emotional dimension or psychological dimension. In this light, a pastoral concept of "Inner Healing" should be understood as a core of "Holistic Healing." However, while “Holistic Healing" focuses on broader dimensions, such as human, socio-cultural and environmental factors, on the other hand, "Inner Healing" concentrates on more on an issue of healing and recovering of a human being as a whole being in the light of "Holistic Healing." Therefore, we can say that the workers of "Pastoral Inner Healing" should focuss on the aim that God`s grace and compassionate loving care revealed by the works and power of the Gospel, the Word of God and the Holy Spirit, could touch and cure a counselee as "a whole being", who has many spiritual, psychological, physical, intellectual, emotional, volitional problems and wounded heart in the whole process of "Holistic Healing." Through this pastoral approach of "Inner Healing", eventually, one could be a more mature christian, who even could deal with and overcome all severe suffering by relying the graceful and compassionate God.
