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. The Open Access version of this book,
