생명과 말씀 : 자기심리학의 관점에서 본개혁주의생명신학 = Reformed Life Theology in view of Self Psychology

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

The purpose of this study is how to apply the Reformed Life Theology to a Christian``s everyday life practically by means of understanding and connecting the one with the other in view of Self Psychology, so that a Christian could link his life with the spirit of Reformed Life Theology and experience the power of Holy Spirit. Reformed Life theology has laid a stress on the experience of coming to know the real God, and meeting God personally through the fellowship with Holy Spirit, rather than theology as a mere knowledge. The emphasis of Reformed Life Theology on the personal experience of God is also found in the theory of Kohut in Christian counseling. Kohut has thought highly of self-object``s function in the critical developmental period of time along with the presence of self-object throughout life. The lack of the personal experience of God could bring abutthe impediment in spiritual growth. The insight is also found in the explanation of Kohut. He pointed out that shortage of experience of self-object as a matrix of mutual empathy could make a pathological man. A man with the healthy self structure strives to achieve essential values creatively in his life, while a man with the broken self structure may have the narcissistic desire to gain recognition from people, to cover himself as a big man such as showing off, bragging.
