Korean Women, Self-Esteem, and Practical Theology : Transformative Care Hardback
by Jaeyeon Lucy Chung
Part of the Asian Christianity in the Diaspora series
Hardback
Description
This book offers a critical-constructive study of Korean women’s self-esteem from a feminist practical theological perspective.
Jaeyeon Lucy Chung recognizes two different and yet related problems: the absence of scholarly work on women’s self-esteem from non-white, non-Western groups in the field of practical theology, and the lack of attention to the low self-esteem prevalent in Korean women’s sociocultural and religious context. Chung employs in-depth interview studies while drawing on theoretical resources of psychology, theology, and cultural studies to develop a relational-communal theory of self-esteem, and a systematic, communal understanding of pastoral care practice.
The project offers insights into the life experience of Korean women, especially self-esteem, and it reveals some of the ways self-esteem can be fostered.
