✦ Synopsis

Abstract

The problems of Mrs. A's children are the initial focus of professional work. Her depression receives professional attention in the course of treatment of the children. Mrs. A is most likely working individually with an eclectic therapist, with increasing her awareness and insight as treatment goals. Developing a good working relationship with the client is of prime importance to the therapist. Projective as well as objective psychological tests may be used. Her psychiatrist prescribes antidepressant and sleep‐inducing medications. Mrs. A's family may not be involved in her treatment; group therapy and self‐help resources are also unlikely to be used. I argue that to understand psychotherapy in Japan, the context of psychotherapy practice as well as cultural influence need to be considered. © 2007 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
