본 연구의 목적은 현대 기독교인들의 무속 의존 현상 이면에 작동하는 복합적인 신앙적·심리적 기제를 구약성경 사울 왕의 사례를 통해 심층 규명하고, 목회 현장에서 적용 가능한 실천적 목회상담 방안을 제시하는 데 있다. 최근 한국 사회에서 무속은 뉴미디어와 대중문화를 매개로 급속히 확산하며, 청년층을 비롯한 기독교인들에게 문화 콘텐츠이자 일상적 심리상담의 대체 기제로 수용되고 있다. 선행연구들은 신자들의 무속 의존 원인을 분석했으나, 무속을 단순한 교리적 우상숭배로 비판하거나 심리·정신적 문제를 분리하여 다룸으로써 신앙적 붕괴와 심리·정신적 문제가 상호작용하여 무속 의존으로 귀결되는 기제에 대한 통합적 분석에는 한계를 보였다. 이에 본 연구는 신학과 현대 심리학·정신의학을 통합한 다학제적 사례연구 방법으로...

Given evidence from studies in depression of a greater therapeutic effect in those with a family history of AUD, this latter factor was also investigated as a moderating factor. We used data from the KARE trial, a randomised...
