ABSTRACT

Crisis is closely connected with every aspect of human life. There are more crises than ever in today’s modern society. Economic crisis, mental crisis and environmental crisis have various aspects of problems and threaten human life. This thesis was written from the viewpoint of Christian counseling concerning crisis problems and its specific characters. It is an inquiry into the basic understanding of crisis and the psychological characteristic of people in crisis. Consequently, I hope that it will be useful in helping people in crisis. Also it is a study on crisis and suffering from biblical perspective. Crisis causes us pain and despair. However, it could also lead us to develop a new perspective in life and provide an opportunity for personal growth. Crisis can also help people get closer to God if they could discover their own spiritual resources and make a constructive use of them. Responding to the crisis with too much sensitivity could make people feel overwhelmed by the crisis. Crisis can help an individual develop his/her courage, boldness and openmindedness. Solution-focused therapy is a very useful tool to overcome today􀁳s crisis problems. It will make a great contribution to the problem of contemporary psychological crisis.
