【Introduction 】
I am a clinical psychologist. After
twenty-four years of working in Hospital in
Aichi Prefecture, I took my current position
as the third director of the Yamato Naikan
center in Nara, a place to which the founder
of the Naikan method, Ishin Yoshimoto, had
devoted his entire life. Yoshimoto became
enlightened on November 12th, 1937. And he
wished to let all the people in the world
know this great joy of enlightenment. In
Japan, the method has developed apart from
the religious world and is now used widely
in the industrial, educational and medical
fields as well as in correctional
institutions across the country. The Naikan
method has also become popular
internationally and now some Naikan centers
are established in several countries. As
Yoshimoto wished, Naikan has spread
throughout the world. In this workshop, I
will address four points to describe Naikan
therapy: number 1, Naikan and its founder
Yoshimoto, number 2, the brief history of
Naikan, number 3, the methodology of Naikan,
and number 4, the internationalization of
Naikan.
【The internationalization of Naikan 】
Originating from Japan, Naikan is heavily
influenced by Japanese culture. In its
setting, the typical Naikan room in Japan is
filled with Japanese things, such as the
byobu folding screen, tatami flooring mats,
and paper sliding doors. However, these
things are not necessarily essential to the
Naikan therapeutic process itself.
【Final comment 】
To what extent should adaptation be
acceptable? Whatever changes may happen, can
Naikan still be called Naikan? Doing Naikan
is about listening to the innermost voice of
your soul, especially when you are
broken-hearted, when you are in adversity,
when you are in great trouble. This is what
I think is the essence of Naikan.
