유학의 이상은 인간존재의 고유특성인 도덕본성이 현실로 실현된 대동사회(大同社會)를 이룩하려는데 있으며, 도덕 본성의 핵심은 인, 의, 예, 지(仁義禮智)의 사덕(四德)이다. 사덕(四德)은 심리적 혹은 정신적인 현상의 측은 수오 사양 시비 등의 선한 단서(善端)로 드러난다. 그러므로 선한 단서가 구김 없이 인생의 현장에서 실천되는 것은 심리적 혹은 정신적으로 지극히 건강한 모습이라고 할 수 있다. 따라서 유가철학에서의 철학상담치료는 선우(善友)로 하여금 먼저 자신의 기질지성에서 비롯된 정감을 자각하게 하여 순수지선한 본연지성을 회복하게 한 후, 선우(善友)로 하여금 삶의 현장에서 그 선한 단서가 원만하게 펼쳐지도록 하는 데에 있다. 이것이 '참 나'(도덕 주체)로써 건강한 삶을 영위할 수 있도록 하는 충분조건이기 때문이다. 필자 등은 이러한 목적으로 개발된 유가의 철학적 사려방법인 "정감체험" 프로그램을 연구 대상자에게 훈련시킴으로써 "정감체험" 프로그램의 본질적인 의미와 철학치유의 구조를 밝히고자 하였다. 본 연구를 위해 필자 등은 22명의 연구 대상자에게 "정감체험 프로그램"을 3주 동안 진행한 후, 그들이 체험한 내용의 자료를 수집하여 분석하였다. 자료의 분석방법은 질적 연구방법의 하나인 Colaizzi의 현상학적인 분석방법을 사용하였다. 이는 Colaizzi의 분석방법이 연구 대상자의 개인적인 속성보다는 전체 연구 대상자의 공통적인 속성을 도출해 낼 수 있도록 제시되어 있으므로 철학상담치료의 이론개발에 도움이 될 수 있기 때문이다. 분석결과 연구 대상자들이 "정감체험 프로그램"을 통해 체험한 내용의 본질적인 의미는 '생소함과 의구심', '부담감', '방법과 필요성 인식', '자기성찰', '본성과 올바른 행위 자각', '마음 다스림과 바른 행동', '기쁨과 즐거움', '가치 있는 존재로 거듭남' 등이었음을 알 수 있었다. 이를 다시 철학상담치료의 측면에서 범주화하여 정감체험을 통한 덕 철학치유의 구조를 살펴본 결과 '학습시작', '성찰', '깨달음', '수기치인(修己治人)', '자유', '초월'의 과정을 거치고 있음을 알 수 있었다. 유가철학의 궁극적인 목적이 참으로 가치 있는 삶을 살아가기 위함에 있는 것이며, 학문의 목적달성이 천명을 깨달아 실천하는 보편적 가치실현에 있다는 것을 고려해 볼 때, 이와 같은 연구 대상자들의 정감체험을 통한 덕 철학치유의 구조는 유가철학의 목적을 달성하는 과정에 합당한 것이라고 볼 수 있다.

In this study, the Commission proposed the mitigation of remedies by improving the role of medical disputes and preventing medical disputes. Medical disputes include a comprehensive description of medical malpractice, medical negligence, medical malpractice, and medical malpractice. Medical negligence refers to the neglect of medical care due to careless medical care in the treatment of patients, leading to patient injury and death. An inappropriate response in the process of international treatment could result in international trials and a decline in international credibility. In cases where medical disputes arise, health care is strictly necessary to determine the truth or absence of medical malpractice, and these expertise and experience are usually provided by emotion. With the neutral and objective emotions provided fairly and impartially, medical care expertise and experience can be fair, and the medical disputes can be resolved peacefully if the parties are trustworthy. The Health Care Dispute Mediation Committee should focus on enhancing the professionalism, objectivity, and reliability of medical care.
