| NOTA |
(★)(This revision and updating of the well-known 1958 edition, with much new material added, provides a vital link in understanding the social and attitudinal dynamics of Japanese society. Offering a broad but significantly detailed examination of social work in Japan, the book contains thirty-four articles written by Japanese and Western social workers on the scene. Ranging far beyond the original intention of providing a guide to Japanese social work for Western social workers, the book goes on to make an important contribution to understanding the complexities of social thinking in Japan. ´Glimpses of Social Work in Japan´ treats the whole range of social work : historical and social context, religious influences, social security, medical practice and the health insurance system, public welfare, social-work education, psychiatric social work, industrial counselling, intercountry adoptions, child welfare, and treatment of phisically and mentally handicapped people. Section I introduces the religion and culture of the Japanese people in six articles on such subjects as the influences of Buddhism and Christianity on social work ; a historical survey of foreign influences ; the ´new religions,´ Japanese expressions of feeling, with special emphasis on anger ; and the growth of community action in the city of Kyoto. Section II covers public assistance, with emphasis on the Japanese social security system. Section III examines education for social work, with one article showing the attitudes of students to their social-work training. Social work done by private agencies, together with their problems and functions, is treated in Section IV. Section V details the history and present condition of medical social work and relates the development of psychiatric social work, a recent phenomenon in Japan. Section VI examines child-welfare services, at the same time offering an interesting look at Japanese parent-child relationships. Section VII presents a broad outline of group work services, including those for youth and for the aged. The concluding articles, which make up Section VIII, focus on the social work aimed at giving aid to Japan´s physically and mentally handicapped people. Social workers, case workers, social scientists, and members of the medical profession, as well as the general student of Japanese culture, will find in this book a wealth of informative detail and insight into the social character of the Japanese people.／ ◆´The Social Workers´ International Club of Japan´, most of whose members are Japanese, is an organization dedicated to the promotion of social work in Japan. The thirty-five contributors to this volume are drawn from a variety of professions, including professional social work, teaching, medicine, and law.／ ▼CONTENTS／ ●I.THE JAPANESE PEOPLE : THEIR RELIGION AND CULTURE／1.The Contribution of Buddhism to Social Work (Teruko Sugimoto)／2.The Influence of Christianity on Social Work (June Lamb)／3.Foreign Influence on Japanese Social Work : A Historical Survey (Koji Kojima)／4.The New Religions of Japan : A Panel Discussion (Aiji Takeuchi, Sakae Kobayashi & Yasuo Mizoguchi)／5.Japanese Expressions of Feelings, Especially Anger (Hisako Ueno)／6.Old Kyoto (Kiichi Teramoto)／ ●II.PUBLIC ASSISTANCE／7.A Review of the Social Security System in Japan (Keiichiro Shimada)／8.Medical Practice and the Health Insurance System in Japan (D.T.
