A Christian Counseling Study on the Impact of Parasitic Family Dynamics on Children’s Ontological Burnout: Focusing on Counselor’s Auto-analysis Applying Bion and Tillich

Vollständiger Abstract

Worum geht es in dieser Arbeit?

This qualitative case study explores how intergenerational parasitic family dynamics cause ontological burnout in the Korean 2030 generation, tracing the clinical transformation of the researcher’s trauma into an incarnational therapeutic asset. Utilizing auto-analysis and multiple case designs, this study cross-applies Wilfred Bion’s containment theory and Paul Tillich’s existential ontology. Findings indicate that parasitic pressure reduces subjects to hosts, causing the symbolic deprivation of names. This intrusion triggers existential suffocation, manifested through arousal delay and anaphylactic shock. To conceal non-being, clients mobilize manic defenses. However, by navigating catastrophes, they shed the false self through delayed metabolism. Conclusively, when counselors embody clinical kenosis and negative capability, personal wounds convert into incarnational containment that restores the client’s collapsed Reality(O) and reclaims the courage to be.
