Abstract
The aim of this paper is to reconsider the mental conflicts of medical professions which are caused by the inadequate attitude between affectivity and affective neutrality. As for the method, I adopted the in-depth interview method centering on the interaction between nurses and patients and analyzed the causes of mental conflicts. This qualitative study examined (1) how affetive attitude of nurses had effectin their professional work,(2) their universalistic attitude and individual attitude caused mental conflicts as the conflicts between affectivity and affective neutrality, and (3) however, nurses could conquer such kind of conflicts through seeing their patients as the resouses of "good" individualistic attitude.
