The aim of this thesis is to make better communications in a Korean family. Especially it is based on Bowen's family therapy.
Virginia Satir classified dysfunctional communication in four types ; placating, blaming, computing, and distracting. She explained dysfunctional communication occurs for the reason of having low self-esteem.
Sungja, Song and Youngsuk, Jin classified Korean communications types in four ways, which is Authoritarian(wives:Domineering), Over-Cautious, Insincere, and Sacrificing. In addition, they find features of those types which is metaphorical, undemocratic, insufficient, and doble binding.
To fulfill what has been tried to discuss here, Bowen's theory on 8 conceptions over family system was applied in this thesis.
Conclusions are as blow.
First, Sacrificing type in Korean family is metaphorical and typical. Low self-differentiation give rise to it. To improve this type of communication, self-differentiation should be up higher. I-statement or I-message is the useful way.
Second, Authoritarian or Domineering type occurs because of improper family system and societal emotional process. Those two factors cause deficiency of self esteem feeling. For the change, it is necessary to have better knowledge about societal emotional process. In addition, it is useful to be a better listener.
Third, Insincere type occurs in multi-generational family. Couples with low self-differentiation often go through dishonest and complicated communications. Circle questioning helps to make consistent and concentrated communications.
Fourth, Over-Cautious type occurs emotional distance or emotional divorce. To improve this type, it is necessary to individualize of oneself and make up higher self-differentiation.
