Abstract
This chapter aims toward developing a pastoral care model to enhance Korean women’s self-esteem. In so doing, the author seeks to accomplish three goals: first, to propose a relational-transformative pastoral care, influenced by the communal contextual, intercultural, and feminist-womanist paradigms; second, to present three major themes of self-esteem—authenticity, mutuality, and solidarity—in interaction with the Korean women’s narratives; and finally, to recommend four steps of pastoral care—attentive listening, mutual accompaniment, engagement in critical and systemic analysis, and authentic action for creating a mutual community.
