본 연구의 목적은 크리스천 남성의 중년기 경험의 핵심범주로서의 중심현상을 발견하고 이를 중심으로 하는 적응의 유형을 발견하여 잠정적인 이론화를 이루는 것이다. 중심현상은 갈등 가운데 여전히 꿈꾸는 중년기로 나타났고, 적응의 유형은 의무 지향형, 꿈 의무 갈등형, 꿈 지향형의 3가지 유형으로 나타났다. 과정분석을 통해 적응 형태는 평가단계, 개정단계, 절충단계, 준비단계, 발전단계의 5단계를 거쳐 진행됨을 발견하였다. 이들의 중년기 적응형태를 남성 자신의 실현을 억압하는 가부장적 남성상에 대한 비판적 관점에서 논의하고, 목회적 돌봄의 방향성으로서 꿈의 격려, 위로, 파송 그리고 좀 더 융통적인 남성상을 위한 토대로서 가부장적 아버지 은유 외에 좀 더 지지적인 하나님 은유의 필요성을 힘의 상실이라는 관점에서 조망하였다.
This article explores the experiences of christian men in mid–life and their adjustment process types by means of ‘in–depth interviews.’ From analysis, the paradigm model had 6 stages, namely ‘causal condition’ which included ‘Regret emotion’, ‘context’ which was ‘aging phenomenon’, ‘intervening conditions’ which included ‘attitude’, ‘interaction’ which emerged five stages, and ‘consequences’ which included three patterns of mid–life adjustment. And ‘Still dreaming men in mid–life’ was presented as a core phenomenon implicating ‘impatient and expectation.’ As a result, three types of their adjustment in mid–life were found: a dream–oriented type, an obligation–oriented type and a conflictive type. And also through a process analysis, adjustment process were found in five stages which were ‘a valuation stage’, ‘a revision stage’, ‘a compromise stage’,‘a preparation stage’ and ‘an extension stage.’ A critical perspective on patriarchal context of Korea was used for a discussion. This suggested that an encouragement, a comfort and a dispatch to a revised life by pastoral community were needed. Furthermore, this proposed a diversity of God image which was consistent with men’s experiences.
