The purpose of this research is to scrutinize what are characteristics of client-identified significant events and interactional process in Gestalt therapy using the therapeutic media. The subjects of the study were 4 participants. To this purpose, a audio-taped session and a intensive interview were conducted to examine. The collected data for this study were analyzed by Comprehensive Process Analysis. The audio-taped session and interview data were first transcribed and then analyzed for client-identified significant events. A total of 74 pairs of conversations were analyzed to derive the interactional process within the significant event case. In conclusion, it was found that the interactional process of significant events in the Gestalt therapy contributed to the change of the client by interacting with the therapeutic media. 5 major themes of interaction with the therapeutic madia appeared. The 5 major themes are allowance, identification, recognition, acceptance and prospective. Finally, the significance and limitations of the study were clarified and suggested for further study.

인문학은 인간에 대한 깊은 성찰과 세계에 대한 폭넓은 조망에서 잉태한다. 이런 인문학 교육은 인문대학만이 아니라 전반적인 의료교육 현장에 접목되어야 한다. 따라서 인문학 역시 현실을 도외시한 언어유희가 아니라 현실속의 사회 문화적 통로를 접근하는 방식으로 도입되어야 한다. 인문학적 성찰은 전문가만의 소유물이 아니다. 특히 의료인문학적 성찰은 죽은 몸이 아니라 살아 있는 몸을 다루는 임상행위의 전제이다. 이렇게 살아 있는 생명의 몸을 다루는 의학 부문에서 과학적 설명의 적용범위와 그 실현가능성은 아직 충족되고 있지 않다. 이는 과학탐구 대상으로서의 톰과 증상과 치료의 대상으로서의 구체적인 의학적 몸 사이의 간극이 있음을 무시할 수 없다는 점이다. 인문학적으로는 설명 장르의 몸에서 제외된 이해 장르의 몸이 다시 조명되어야 한다. 정확히 말하면 설명 장르와 이해 장르가 통합되어야 한다는 뜻이기도 하다. 이러한 인문학적 반성이란 추상적 이론으로 그쳐서는 안 되며, 의학과 의료 현실에 어떻게 실천적으로 적용가능한지를 질문하는 일이다. 이 논문에서는 그 적용사례로서 증거중심의학(EBM)과 문제기반학습(PBL)를 다루었다.

오늘날 자살은 현대사회의 심각한 사회현상으로 인식되고 있다. 자살에 대한 역사적 이해와 성경의 자살 이야기들을 간략하게 다룬 다음 자살의 원인을 살펴보게 될 것이다. 자살문제에 대한 해법을 제대로 찾기 위해 반드시 필요한 것은 그 원인이 무엇인지에 대한 올바른 이해가 선재되어야 하기 때문이다. 학자들의 견해는 대략적으로 생물학적 원인, 정신과적 원인, 그리고 사회학적 원인 세 부류로 나눠진다. 논자의 주요 논지는 자살을 이런 요인들이 복합적으로 작용한 결과로 발생한다는 것이다. 이에 대한 해결책으로 성경의 생명존중을 기초로 한 세 가지 사실을 제시한다. 첫째, 하나님의 형상으로 창조된 인간의 생명은 고귀하다. 둘째, 인간은 궁극적 의미에서 영원한 생명이라는 희망의 미래를 조망해야 할 존재이다. 셋째, 자살은 범죄행위라기보다는 치료가 필요한 질병이라는 인식의 확산이 필요하다.

The objective of recent radiation therapy is to improve the quality of treatment and the after treatment quality of life. In Korea, sharing the same objective, significant advancement was made due to the gradual increase of patient number and rapid increase of treatment facilities. The advancement includes generalization of three-dimensional conformal radiotherapy (3D-CRT), application of linac-based stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS), and furthermore, the introduction of intensity modulated radiation therapy (IMRT). Authors in this paper prospectively review the followings: the advancement of radiation oncology in Korea, the recent status of four-dimensional radiation therapy, IMRT, the concept of the treatment with biological conformity, the trend of combined chemoradiotherapy, the importance of internet and radiation oncology information management system as influenced by the revolution of information technology, and finally the global trend of telemedicine in radiation oncology. Additionally, we suggest the methods to improve radiotherapy treatment, which include improvement of quality assurance (QA) measures by developing Koreanized QA protocol and system, regional study about clinical protocol development for phase three clinical trial, suggestion of unified treatment protocol and guideline by academic or research societies, domestic generation of treatment equipment's or system, establishment of nationwide data base of radiation-oncology-related information, and finally patterns-of-care study about major cancers.

The purpose of the study was to prospect for mutual maturity between therapist-client in Music and Imagery music therapy session from therapists' points of view. Qualitative data has been collected by in-depth interview of therapist-client mutual maturity process, then analysed with grounded theories. The questions of the study were to ask process of mutual maturity experienced by music and imagery therapist and meaning of the experience itself. Therapists ware to answer the moment of mutual maturity, realization and meaning of mutual maturity process through semi-structured in-depth interview. The four therapists who participated in the interview are certified MIT(Music & Imagery Therapist) by Lisa Summer and currently in training GIM. From the in-depth interview, 81 concepts have been collected and have been divided into 20 categories in open coding, then rearranged into 9 categories in axis coding. To explain music and imagery therapists' maturity process through grounded theory paradigm, as a result, the main phenomenon of experience was 'to deal with counter-transference'. When dealing their counter-transference, therapists experienced their maturity process. Supervision and musical/non-musical self-reflection are also used for interactive intervention medium. So, maturity of therapists leads to knowing and accepting herself and mature therapists are able to help clients mature.

The technology of 'Virtual Reality' has placed in advanced tools for human beings' joy and anger together with sorrow and pleasure in our generation. It has recently tried in a variety ways to use as an implication for treatment in the field of Cognitive Psychology. Especially, it widely approaches to human in terms of that a sense of reality in a virtual world through the five senses should reinterpret the meaning of cognition in the real world. Based on this paradigm shift, it allows for new treatment using the technology of virtual reality. A typical example is a field of Therapy in order to overcome panic disorder. It has advantages that in particular development of flexible interaction technologies in a virtual space can lead patients to experience psychological environments rather than physical one. the interaction technology provides environments in which users' five senses can be actively stimulated, it is very useful that information from the experiences in the virtual world allows people to learn through real experiences by renewing potential energies, advantages of Virtual Reality Therapy can be customized treatment by depending on symptoms in patients with panic disorder and are capable of differentiate application for the cure at each stage. It is to treat by leading patients to get accustomed to environments and situations in real world through care process with each symptom and stage. It is helpful that based on A Human-Sensibility Ergonomics, technologies like immersive virtual reality equipment, force-relative feedback and stereophonic sound, and like stimulating the sense of smell make people to induce experiences by stimulating human's five senses. There are many advantages of immersion in virtual world in that the phenomenon such as challenge, interaction, reality, illusion, and cooperation is expanded. As an application for therapy by growing such augmented reality, virtual space and sharing of data through the Internet and also inexpensive its availability have recently expanded the base. There are other benefits of Virtual Reality Therapy offering active interaction environments for cognitive experience which can provide appropriately adjusted environments for patients who are hard to overcome the real situation because of phobia. In addition to that it is safe and economical and patients' confidentiality is assured. Moreover, due to the principles of applying real-time navigation the Virtual Reality Therapy makes modification and supplementation easier and also it can reduce cybersickness because of the supply of Lenticular allowing people to see stereoscopy without eyeglasses, which makes sense of presence clearer. On top of that due to the development of interactive technologies, it is becoming close to sense of reality similar to real world by leading users to navigate by themselves and to operate objects in a virtual space. This paper will therefore examine, although it is of limited, characteristics of application of virtual reality technology based on A Human-Sensibility Ergonomics used for treatment for a disorder. this paper will analyse a range of its application and problems and it will suggest the future possibilities.

Purpose: This study examines the daylighting design factors of Korean dementia nursing homes, in order to realize a therapeutic environment based on the therapeutic effect of light in the rapidly aging trend with an huge increase in the population of dementia in Korea. Methods: Through literature reviews, this study aims to theoretically examine the therapeutic light environment for the elderly with dementia, derive daylighting design factors of Korean dementia nursing homes, and analyze their detailed design factors. Results: The result of this study can be summarized into two points. The first one is that the daylighting design factors reflected in dementia nursing homes are derived into six factors: building layout, windows, glazing, shading devices, spaces, and interior finishings that determine the availability of daylight. The second one is that the detailed daylighting design factors are shown as primary and secondary detailed design factors, and the main values to be considered when applying these factors into dementia nursing homes are analyzed as maximizing daylight availability, optimization of the possibility of therapeutic view, and anti-glare. Implications: The daylighting design factors will contribute to maximizing the availability of daylight, optimizing the possibility of view, and minimizing the glare in the living spaces of dementia nursing homes in Korea.
