This descriptive study explored pastors' beliefs about etiology and treatment of mental illness. Surveys were completed by mail by 202 Korean and Euro-American Presbyterian clergy. Nearly one-third of Korean pastors viewed bad parenting and demon possession as very important causes of mental illness, in contrast to the more than two-thirds of Euro-American pastors who viewed genetics and chemical imbalances as the most important causes. Compared with their Euro-American counterparts, Korean pastors soundly endorsed spiritual treatment of mental illness. The findings of this study suggest the value of understanding the views of pastors working with populations that underutilize formal mental health services.
这项描述性研究探讨了牧师对精神疾病病因和治疗的看法。202名韩国和欧美长老会神职人员通过邮件完成了调查。近三分之一的韩国牧师认为不良教养和恶魔附身是精神疾病的非常重要的原因，相比之下，超过三分之二的欧美牧师认为遗传和化学失衡是最重要的原因。与欧美同行相比，韩国牧师大力支持对精神疾病进行精神治疗。这项研究的结果表明，了解与未充分利用正规心理健康服务人群打交道的牧师的观点具有重要价值。
