Abstract

Objectives: The purpose of this paper is to report the results of applying philosophical counseling to Hwabyung. Methods: At the time of the medical examination, 15 minutes or more of philosophical counselling method based on self-identity was conducted if possible. Additionally, We applied Hwabyung treatment guidelines (acupuncture, herbal medicine, etc.) to the patient If diagnosed as necessary. We evaluated visual Analogue Scale (VAS), Hwabyung scale, and Symptom Checklist 90-Revision (SCL 90-R) at baseline, and reassessed VAS and Hwabyung scale after about two weeks of treatments. Results: After about two weeks of treatment and philosophical counselling, VAS was between 10 to 1-2 and Hwabyung scale from 59 to 48. Also, the problem of fragmentation in the patient's life process was insighted, and the viewpoint was changed. Conclusions: It is useful to combine Korean traditional medical treatment with philosophical counselling method based on self identity for patients suffering from the Hwabyung. To Hwabyung patient, the view of philosophical counselling of feminism which understands women in political and cultural contexts is helpful.
