서명/저자: `Han : From brokenness to wholeness. A theoretical analysis of Korean womens {\it Han} and a contextualized healing methodology - [e-book]

초록/해제: 요약 : The predominant emotional suffering of the Korean people is called han. Han is a feeling of deep anxiety and a groaning pain due to the awareness of the human existential condition as finite. Also, han is the affliction and agony of the oppressed, particularly of the Korean women, caused by the layers of the dysfunctional patriarchal, hierarchical social structure which force people to be alienated from self, others, nature, and God. If this pervasive pain of the Korean people is to be healed, addressing the han of Korean women must be the primary task for a healing ministry.

초록/해제: 요약 : To heal Korean women's han, the fundamental structural problem has to be understood from various perspectives including world-view, and questions have to be raised and answered from Korean women's own life experiences and vision. Therefore, this research is launched primarily from Korean women's experiences, and includes an in-depth study of these experiences in relation to the Korean world-view.

초록/해제: 요약 : The main body of this dissertation, in addition to the methodological explanation and the definition of han, consists of three chapters which explore the fundamental, structural problems of han. Those are the socio-historical, psychological, and spiritual dimensions of Korean society, and are reviewed particularly from a woman's perspective. The concluding chapter is a proposal of the hypothetical, contextualized healing methods which embrace both Korean traditions and Christianity. This study attempts to integrate traditional healing methods of shamanism rooted in Korean culture and psychological theories which expand the understanding of human psyche for healing of Korean women's han.

초록/해제: 요약 : This study also presents a theological perspective which embraces both Korean women's han and the Korean world-view. The aim of this research is to lay groundwork for further studies in the area of han, and to promote more effective healing of Korean women in the future. But, the analysis of Korean women's han and Korean spirituality may reveal a possible avenue for the Korean Christian community to engage in building an indigenous theology.
