Occupy Tokyo: SEALDs, the Forgotten Movement
Japanese youth, like everywhere else, are trying to build their future despite the crises that are shaking their world, the latest being the triple disaster of Fukushima. Often considered to be more focused on a personal or even hedonistic life, they surprised the media when a student movement took the floor to criticize the Abe government's security and Self-Defense Forces bills in 2015. The so-called SEALDs movement (Student Emergency Action for Liberal Democracy) was formed some time after the Indigenous or Occupy Wall Street movements, but it shares similar concerns. Understanding the SEALDs' experience from the perspective of John Dewey's philosophy allows us to highlight once again the dangers that digital technology poses to individuals, the collective and their values.
Mental Health and Social Withdrawal in Contemporary Japan
This book examines the phenomenon of social withdrawal in Japan, which ranges from school non-attendance to extreme forms of isolation and confinement, known as hikikomori. Based on extensive original research including interview research with a range of practitioners involved in dealing with the phenomenon, the book outlines how hikikomori expresses itself, how it is treated and dealt with and how it has been perceived and regarded in Japan over time. The author, a clinical psychologist with extensive experience of practice, argues that the phenomenon although socially unacceptable is not homogenous, and can be viewed not as a mental disorder, but as an idiom of distress, a passive and effective way of resisting the many great pressures of Japanese schooling and of Japanese society more widely.

Hikikomori, ces adolescents en retrait
Retrait social, réclusion à domicile, décrochage, claustration, enfermement, sont autant de formes d’un phénomène nommé « hikikomori » au Japon où il est apparu. Ce trouble de conduite consiste pour des adolescents ou des jeunes adultes à se retirer, le plus souvent dans leur chambre, pendant plusieurs mois ou plusieurs années. Ils s’exilent dans un espace solitaire et ne répondent plus aux attentes sociales, familiales, amicales, arrêtant leurs études, rompant leurs liens, suspendant leurs activités. Ils laissent perplexes leurs proches autant que les acteurs éducatifs et médico-psychologiques. Comment comprendre ces ermites modernes, leurs conduites, les causes et les conséquences de leur retrait ? Comment ce retrait est-il vécu par eux-mêmes et par leurs familles ? Comment prendre en charge la détresse qu’il manifeste ? Autant de questions qui tissent cet ouvrage sur le retrait des jeunes, à partir de réflexions de sociologues, anthropologues, psychiatres, psychologues et psychanalystes français et japonais qui ont travaillé ensemble pour repérer, décrire, comprendre et prendre en charge ce phénomène émergent dans nos sociétés.
Surmonter la peur des autres
Lorsqu'il est motivé par la peur des autres, la crainte d'une catastrophe ou pour échapper à un monde jugé ultra-compétitif et dangereux, le retrait social n'est plus un choix mais la conséquence d'une « infirmit頻 qui paralyse. Prisonnières d'une cellule sans barreaux, les personnes en proie à certains troubles anxieux disparaîtront peu à peu de la société au grand dam de leurs proches incapables de leur venir en aide. Autodénigrement et faible estime de soi sont le lot de ces ermites modernes. Rien d'irréversible pourtant ! Dans cet ouvrage, en décryptant les mécanismes et grâce à de multiples exemples, l'auteure montre que des solutions existent pour sortir de cette spirale de l'enfermement : thérapie comportementale, méditation, analyse transactionnelle, respiration alternée, théâtre, yoga, zoothérapie sont autant de méthodes susceptibles d'être employées pour enrayer un processus d'isolement. Un livre pour comprendre quelle est la part de choix réel dans la réclusion sociale, et surtout pour retrouver la confiance et vaincre ses blocages.
