| Abstract | This is largely a collection of Japanese scholarship on the “boundary work” between religion and the psy disciplines of psychology, psychiatry, and psychotherapy in Japan. Twelve mostly translated papers, half of which are revised versions of work previously published between 1990 and 2013, consider central aspects of the intersection of this relationality. In his introductory and concluding remarks, Harding specifies “three areas of tension.” These—the personal and the (con)textual, creation and discovery, and instrumentalism and engrossment—are to serve as a reading aid, lending thematic cohesion to the contributions of this volume. Following a historical survey (Harding), a portrayal of past religious psychiatric therapies (H. Akira 橋本明), and the formation history of early twentieth‐century “psycho‐spiritual” therapies (seishin ryōhō or reijutsu) (Y. Shin'ichi 吉永進一), the focus is put on major exponents of and their original contributions to psychotherapy in Japan: Morita Masatake (1874–1938) and his Morita therapy (K. Kyōichi 近藤喬一and K. Kenji 北西憲二), the Freudian K. Heisaku (1897–1968) (I. Fumiaki 岩田文昭), D. Takeo (1920–2009) and his amae theory (A. Yasunori 安藤泰至), Y. Ishin (1916–1988), Naikan (Shimazono Susumu 島薗進) and its Catholic application (Terao Kazuyoshi 寺尾寿芳), and the J. K. Hayao (1928–2007) (T. Shigehiro 垂谷茂弘). In the last three chapters, H. Norichika 堀江宗正 takes a look at (contemporary) Japanese views of reincarnation, S. Ryōko 塩月亮子 explores the context of Okinawan yuta and psychiatric treatment, and T. Yōzō 谷山洋三 reports of his spiritual care activities after the triple disaster of 3/11. Overall, this is a well‐crafted assembly of the research of many of Japan's finest scholars introducing areas where religion associates with psychotherapy in modern Japan. |
