Building on theological and psychological literature, an empirical study was conducted with participants in the alternative program of the Han-ma-um community.

Based on this empirical examination, recommendations for refinement and expansion of the program and avenues for future research are proposed. 2010-05-27T19:38:51Z 2010-05-27T19:38:51Z 2010-05-27T19:38:51Z Thesis/Dissertation https://hdl.handle.net/2144/1347 en_US
