รายละเอียด / Details:

Buddhism is widely and profoundly immersed in the mental life of Japanese people. Modern trained psychiatrists are no exceptions. Buddhism is a part of Asian personality. Psychiatry has barely over one hundred year’s of history in Japan as well as in many Asian countries. Buddhism has over 2,500 years of history. Buddhism originated in India, flourished in China and came to Japan through Korea around 1,400 years ago. Psychiatry was born in Europe in the 18th to 19th century and imported to Japan around 100 years ago from Germany as a discipline of modern medicine. There was an encounter of Buddhism and Psychiatry about one hundred year ago in Japan. Gradually, Japanese psychiatrists developed Psychotherapies based on Buddhism. Japanese psychiatrists found a treasure of Buddhist teaching and training as source of their psychotherapeutic approaches. I would like to present an outline of two methods of psychotherapies developed in Japan: Morita Therapy and Naikan Therapy.Morita therapy was born from the spirit of Zen and Naikan therapy was born from the training of Pure Land sect. Morita psychotherapy was and experience-based treatment for neurotics developed by Japanese psychiatrist Shoma Morita (1874-1938) in the early part of the twentieth century . Naikan therapy was developed by Mr. Yoshimoto Ishin, a devote Buddhist monk of the Jodo Shinshu sect (True Pure Land Sect founded by Monk Shinran in the 13th century). Mr. Yoshimoto established Naikan Center at Nara Prefecture in 1954, and devoted his life to teach Naikan. Was introduced in psychiatry around 1970’S. References: Kitanishi K, Azuma N.
