The Purpose of this study was on the Christian Counseling for anger control and treatment of adolescence. Anger is a very commonly experienced and displayed emotion during adolescence. therefore, An understand and control of anger, including the adolescence counselor’s own anger, is basis for effective Christian Counseling. In the Old Testament alone there are almost six hundred references to wrath or anger, and this theme continues in the New Testament. Several Bible passages imply that control is possible and indicate how this can be done. There are many reasons anger invades adolescence’s lives. Anger is triggered by a vast array of emotions and events. Some of the more prominent and significant are frustration, alienation, perfectionism, hurt or threat of hurt,injustice, fear, or anger as a learned response. Helping an adolescent or preadolescent who is struggling with anger may be a difficult and lengthy task. However, it is possible to do so, particularly if the following guidelines are kept in mind: help counselees admit anger, help counselees consider the sources of anger, clarify biblical thinking, help counselees express anger, confession and forgiveness, growing spiritually in Jesus Christ. As this thesis has shown, the Bible and psychology can combine to increase out understanding of anger and can help counselors to be more effective in working with adolescence who struggle with anger and self-control.

The purpose of this study is to illuminate desirable roles of parents for education of adolescent children in terms of Christian counseling. Having a biblical view of education of adolescent children is very important. In this respect,in this study, diverse studies of education of adolescent children were reviewed and strategies for the meaning of homes, a biblical understanding of adolescent,desirable roles of parents and education of adolescent children with the understanding of problems in the development of adolescent and from the viewpoint of Christian counseling. Based on the results, it was known that, since problems are in parents’ distorted views of children and educational views,education of parents is indispensable. It was known that, from the viewpoint of Christian counselling, home is the stage of basic education and that the roles of homes are important as theological communities, social communities and communities for binding. From a biblical viewpoint, the characteristics of adolescents and the roles of parents in relation to the characteristics could be also known. In this regard, it was also known that, since adolescents are insensitive to the problems of minds, parents should bring up their children focusing on changes in their children’s minds. As strategies for education of adolescent children in terms of Christian counseling, I proposed to first, bring up children with plans,second, continuously talk with children and third, lead teenagers to repentance. To this end, I suggested a direction to go as stage 1: reflection, stage 2:confessions, stage 3: vows and stage 4: changes. Studies attempting approaches to education of adolescent children in terms of biblical counseling should be continued hereafter.

This paper deals with runaway teenagers by focusing on why they leave their homes, how they are protected, and what kinds of healing programs are needed for them. There are many factors that causes teenagers to leave their homes. Runaway teenagers are exposed to juvenile delinquency, so some appropriate programs are needed to prohibit them from it. Although Korean government and social welfare organizations offer runaway teenagers some prevention and healing programs, local churches have to get involved in educating church teenagers to prevent them from running away from their homes. Churches can offer these programs. Some prevention programs are needed for parents to keep their children at their homes. Some healing programs are needed for runaway teenagers to come back home. Some family therapy programs are needed for the people who have family problems. Some Christian professional counsellors have to work on counselling runaway teenagers by leading fundamental surveys and studies on runaway teenagers.
