Research summary
Clinical psychology and culture It is common knowledge that understanding the cultural background of the person is essential in conducting clinical psychology, and the element of culture must always be considered when providing support and treatment. For example, there is a significant difference in the form of advent of neurotic disorders between Japan, China, and USA. Although autonomic neurotic disorder and scopophobia are unique to the culture of Japan, there are many cases of severe psychophysiologic disorder that appears directly on the body as a symptom for the Chinese, and drug dependency, violent behavior, etc. stand out for the Americans.
