여성주의 목회상담의 하나님 모델 연구 -맥페이그(Sallie McFague)의 하나님 모델을 중심으로-

Abstract

This research paper begins with a question about the nature of God that the feminist pastoral counseling pursues. When presupposing the human being's inscrutability, the religious words toward God should be either analogical or metaphoric. Through the Christian history, however, the most of theologians and ministers have described God using the unilateral, exclusive, patriarchal, and masculine metaphors, so they have infused or created a unilateral meta-ideology regarding God rather than the essential nature of God. Meanwhile, many humanistic psychologists including Sigmund Freud are esteemed psychotherapists, the representative of male, respected fathers and experts on this matter, and adjusted the standard of healthy human based on the criteria of healthy males. Moreover, these humanistic psychologists' work regarded women as the patient, and it caused the shrinkage of potential and autonomy of women. In this research paper, I will explore the model of God through the lens of the metaphor of Sallie McFague, "Mother-Lover-Friend" that the contemporary feminist pastoral counselling should aim at. First, I will apply this model to the pastoral counselling. For this study, I investigate how the oedipus narrative that is consisted of father-son genealogy which has excluded women in light of psychoanalytic perspective, Secondly, I will examine the ambivalent effects of the emphasis on 'preoedipus period' in post psychoanalysis; 1) the women, who were excluded and ignored in psychoanalysis in the past, become the subject of this area; 2) too much stress on generosity of the motherhood causes the aggravation of "mother ideology" in the patriarchal structure. Finally, I evaluate the model of God expressed by Sallie McFague from the perspective of feminist pastoral counselling, and then apply it to the feminist pastoral counselling.
