ABSTRACT

In the face of the 4th Industrial Revolution and the Information Age, communication in the virtual space is increasing while human relations in the real world are becoming more and more difficult. Accelerating Christians’ biblical recovery of relationship interaction suffering from relationship difficulties has become an essential task for their integrated healing and maturity. Therefore, this study tries to develop and propose a relational interaction model to help Christians undergo psycho-spiritual integration healing and maturity. We first explored the aspects of relational interaction shown by the psychological theories of Freud and other scholars, and extracted ‘Aggression’, ‘Dependency’, and ‘Evasion’, as three basic element that activate relational interaction. We examined the overall structure and dynamics of Christian interactions and develops the model of relationship interaction on the frame of reference of the Christian worldview of creation, fall, and redemption, for the purpose of helping Christians who were suffering from erroneous relationship interactions to recover their life of the channel of God’s true love. To this end, the three-fold relational interaction model(ADE), reflecting three basic elements of the relationship interaction of ‘Aggression’, ‘Dependency’, and ‘Evasion’ on the basis of the structure of relation with ‘IGod’, ‘I-Other’, and ‘I-I’, was proposed. This model can be used to help Christians who are struggling with relationships with others to gain insight into themselves and to recover their life of a channel of God’s true love.
