這是一連三篇研究婚外情成因及相對教牧輔導應用的第三篇。由於發生婚外情的原因有多方面：個人、二人、三人等種種的關係，故採用社會心理學的理論來研究和解釋就最適切不過了。家庭系統理論讓人認識到個人成長問題，如何牽連到婚外關係的整體運作；家庭發展理論解釋夫婦婚姻階段變遷中引發的婚外情陷阱和危機；而家庭結構功能主義則剖析了三人及多人的社會心理關係，指出婚外情的關係網絡。三種理論為輔導婚外情提供了洞見，指引教牧輔導的方向。

ABSTRACT

This is the third part of a series examining the origin of extra-marital affair and pastoral counseling for such. Extra-marital affair is a product of multiple reasons. It involves personal, interpersonal, and ultra-personal social-psychological relationships. Studying this subject matter in the light of social-psychological theories deems appropriate! Family system theory makes known personal growth problems’ impact on extra-marital affair as a whole. Family developmental theory interprets the traps and crisis of extra-marital affair in terms of personal and family stages. Family structural functionalism theory reveals the ultra-personal dynamics in extra-marital affair as in one’s social-psycho network. These three theories give us insight and direction for pastoral counseling.
