[통합적연구] 우울증 치료를 위한 목회상담적 접근

There have been so far two theories which analyze the cause of depression, and prevent and cope with the disease. One is psychological theory which takes a mind-dynamic, learning-theoretical, and cognitive-theoretical standpoint. The other one is neurophysiological theory which takes a biological standpoint. Each theory has presented their own therapies for depression and has made exerted for to heal the disease. But we must not confine the understanding to and the effort to heal depression within a general mental-medical and a psychological dimension. No matter who is a christian, he cannot be excluded from the cold, viz christians can experience the cold. So that the believers often have more suffering than they are supposed to have. Thus it is necessary to be required that we should evaluate, in view of christianity, understanding to depression, groping the proper cure for it, and that we should evaluate the previous cure for depression in view of the Bible. Therefore the purpose of the thesis is, by groping the pastoral counselling approach, to present the christian viewpoint of the cure for depression. For this, first, while examining general methods to cure of depression, and analyzing the advantage and the confines of the methods, I am going to show that not depression can be simply cured with psychological therapy, but that must only be cured by God`s power which makes it new. Counselling is the work of the Holy Spirit as Jay E. Adams says. Counselling for christians must be taken in the harmony of the Holy Spirit`s works that make sinners born again, and them sanctified. The Holy Spirit is the source that brings about the true change in personality, including sanctification, of believers. He makes believers change through the grace and the Word. The second purpose of the thesis is to research how the pastoral counselling cure for depression should be taken.
