Doživljanje odločitve za posvečeno življenje pri ženskah v luči odnosov v primarni družini : magistrsko delo

Zajc, Maja (author), Simonič, Barbara (mentor)

V magistrskem delu avtorica raziskuje doživljanje odločitve za posvečeno življenje v luči odnosov v primarni družini. Relacijske teorije namreč poudarjajo, da sta otrokov čut za Boga in intrapsihična podoba Boga na zelo kompleksen način povezana z otrokovimi starši. Otrok lahko starše doživlja kot dobre ali slabe, s tem pa je lahko skladna tudi intrapsihična podoba Boga ali pa je ta popolnoma nasprotna. Vse to pa lahko vodi tudi v odločitev živeti odnos z Bogom na način posvečenega življenja. V kvalitativni fenomenološki raziskavi je sodelovalo deset udeleženk, ki so se odločile za vstop v redovno skupnost. Za pridobitev podatkov je bil uporabljen polstrukturirani intervju, preko katerega smo dobili poglobljen uvid v doživljanje odločitve za posvečeno življenje, doživljanje odnosov v družini in doživljanje odnosa z Bogom. Rezultati kažejo, da se intrapsihična podoba Boga, pri večini, ustvarja na temelju intrapsihične podobe ljubečega starša, ki je ob otroku prisoten. Ugotovitve na ravni primarnih odnosov so pri večini udeleženk pokazale primanjkljaj materine čustvene topline ter da intrapsihično podobo Boga doživljajo bolj kot paralelo odnosa z očetom. Hkrati pa je bilo ugotovljeno, da udeleženke, ki so se odločile za vstop v posvečeno življenje, izhajajo iz družin, kjer so živeli pretežno skromno življenje, večina izmed njih pa prihaja iz številčnejših družin, v katerih so po spolu prevladovale ženske. Rezultati pa nam kažejo tudi, da so pri nekaterih udeleženkah najdene v odnosu z Bogom vzporednice oziroma pridobitve za odnose v primarnih družinah, kljub temu pa so bile odločitve za posvečeno življenje sprejete neodvisno od teh odnosov. Rezultati magistrskega dela omogočajo uvid v globlje relacijske potrebe in želje, ki človeka vodijo, da zapusti sebi poznani svet in brezpogojno služi drugim. Odločitev za posvečeno življenje je prikazana v luči odnosov, v katerih je oseba odraščala, s tem pa se je razkril tudi pomen doživljanja odnosa z Bogom in odločitve za posvečeno življenje kot vidikov, ki jih je mogoče razumeti tudi z relacijske perspektive.

• Title: Experiencing the decision for consecrated life by women in the light of relationships in the primary family

Abstract

In the Master’s Thesis, author surveys experiencing the decision for consecrated life in the light of relationships in the primary family. Relation theories emphasize that child’s sense for God and an intrapsychic image of God are related to child’s parents in a very complex way. A child can experience parents as good or bad, and the intrapsychic image may be consistent or completely opposite to this. All this can lead to a decision to live in a relationship with God in a manner of a consecrated life. A qualitative phenomenological research included ten participants who decided to enter monastical community. The data were obtained using a semi-structured interview with which we obtained in-depth insight in the experience of the decision for consecrated life, experiencing family relationships, and experiencing relationship with God. The results reveal that intrapsychic image of God in majority is created on the foundation of the intrapsychic image of a loving parent that is present with the child. For the majority of the participants, findings at the primary relationship level revealed a deficit of mother’s emotional warmth, and experiencing intrapsychic image of God as a parallel of the relationship with father. At the same time, it was established that all participants who decided for consecrated life originate in families leading a modest life, and majority of them come from larger families in which women prevailed. The results further reveal that in some participants we can find parallels between their relationship with God and relationships in their primary families. Nevertheless, they made a decision for consecrated life irrespective of these relationships. Results of the Master’s Thesis give an insight in deeper relation needs and wishes that lead a human being to leave a known world and unconditionally serves others. A decision for consecrated life is presented in the light of relationships in which a person grew up. Consequently, this also revealed the importance of experiencing the relationship with God and a decision for consecrated life as aspects that can also be understood from the relation perspective.
