Abstract

This research examines the Mapur community in Bangka, exploring how their philosophy, local wisdom, and cultural traditions enhance their mental and spiritual resilience in the face of social, economic, and environmental changes brought about by modernization and natural resource exploitation. A qualitative case study approach was employed. Data were collected through in-depth interviews with key figures, including traditional leader Abok Gedoi, Suli, and community member Apriyatno. Participatory observation and focus group discussions (FGD) provided a collective perspective on cultural and spiritual practices. Thematic analysis was applied to identify core themes related to resilience. The findings highlight that the Mapur people rely on harmony with nature, cooperation, gender equality, and culture-based education to build mental and spiritual resilience. Traditions such as Nujuh Jerami and the Bukaladang system are crucial in fostering social cohesion and community solidarity. The study focuses on a single community, which limits the generalizability of its findings to broader populations. The study suggests practical intervention strategies, including integrating cultural values into resilience-building programs to enhance the well-being of the Mapur community. This research addresses a gap in the literature regarding the resilience of the Mapur people. It offers insights into the interplay between cultural traditions and mental and spiritual well-being, contributing to broader discussions on community resilience in indigenous populations.

Abstract

In Bowen Family Systems Theory, emotional cutoff describes managing unresolved attachment to the family of origin through distance or severance. However, research on estrangement between parents and adult children shows that distance, though sometimes reactive, may protect against abuse, boundary violations, or identity rejection. This integrative-critical review of Bowen theory, estrangement and family communication research, intergenerational studies, and Christian counseling on forgiveness identifies three problems. First, relational form does not adequately explain emotional function. Second, differentiation of self is best assessed through anxiety regulation, self-positioning, reflection on one's systemic contribution, and boundary-setting rather than contact frequency. Third, reconciliation-oriented theology becomes problematic when forgiveness is treated as an obligation to restore relational access without safety, accountability, and reciprocity. The study proposes a heuristic category, "differentiated protective distance," and four clinical tests: distance function, affect organization, safety accountability, and reciprocity. It thereby distinguishes emotional cutoff from estrangement as a social form and grounds Christian relational counseling oriented toward healing without enforced reconciliation.   Abstrak Konsep emotional cutoff dalam Teori Sistem Keluarga Bowen menjelaskan pengelolaan keterikatan yang belum terselesaikan dengan keluarga asal melalui jarak atau pemutusan hubungan. Namun, riset tentang keterasingan orang tua dan anak dewasa menunjukkan bahwa jarak tidak selalu bersifat reaktif, tetapi dapat berfungsi secara protektif dalam relasi yang ditandai dengan kekerasan, pelanggaran batas, atau penolakan identitas. Tinjauan pustaka integratif-kritis atas Teori Bowen, riset keterasingan dan komunikasi keluarga, studi antargenerasi, serta konseling Kristen tentang pengampunan menyingkap tiga persoalan. Pertama, bentuk relasi saja tidak cukup untuk menjelaskan fungsi emosionalnya. Kedua, diferensiasi diri semestinya dinilai dari regulasi kecemasan, pengambilan posisi diri, refleksi atas kontribusi dalam sistem, dan penetapan batas, bukan dari frekuensi kontak. Ketiga, orientasi teologis rekonsiliatif menjadi problematis ketika pengampunan dijadikan kewajiban untuk memulihkan akses relasional tanpa keselamatan, akuntabilitas, dan resiprositas. Kajian ini mengusulkan kategori heuristik "jarak protektif terdiferensiasi" dan empat uji klinis: fungsi jarak, organisasi afek, keamanan-akuntabilitas, serta kapasitas pemulihan relasi timbal balik. Kontribusinya ialah memisahkan emotional cutoff dari keterasingan relasional sebagai bentuk sosial sekaligus mendasari konseling relasional Kristen yang memulihkan tanpa memaksakan rekonsiliasi.
