East and West. 1979

H Iwai

Western psychotherapy is very rationalistic, and especially psychoanalysis regarding the suppression of desire as the cause of neurosis. On the contrary Japanese psychotherapy explains neurosis as the imbalance which is the weak point of human nature. I would like to compare Western and Eastern psychotherapeutic backgrounds.
