(★)(1.Like Doi´s renowned ´Anatomy of Dependence´,´The Anatomy of Self´ addresses the question of the Japanese individual and his or her integration into Japanese society. Its approach is based on an analysis of the Japanese perception of public and private. What kind of society is made up of individuals capable of a constant traversing between behavior based on two simultaneously held, mutually contradictory modes of perception? Doi discusses this feature of the Japanese psyche, often referring to Western psychology. He compares the individual trauma that classic Western psychology believes to result from such a split, to the Japanese sense that adulthood is only achieved by acknowledging and accommodating the difference. Finally, the wide-ranging references to history and psychology serve to provoke thought on Freudian notions of the unconscious. 2.Takeo Doi, M.D., is a professor at International Christian University, Tokyo, and one of Japan´s leading psychiatrists. Born in Tokyo, he graduated from the University of Tokyo in 1942. He has since held a number of posts at American institutes and universities, including fellowships at the Menninger School of Psychiatry and the San Francisco Psychoanalytic Institute, and was visiting scientist at the National Institute of Mental Health, Bethesda, Maryland. For a long time he headed the psychiatric department at St.Luke´s International Hospital in Tokyo, and was also a professor in the schools of Health Science and Medicine at the University of Tokyo. Doi has published a number of works and contrubuted to many more. His best-known English publication is´The Anatomy of Dependence [Kodansha International, 1973]´.) |
