Słowa kluczowe:
social withdrawal, cultural phenomenon, JapanAbstrakt
The main purpose of this article is not to raise some transient interest in the mysterious issue of social withdrawal in Japan. The explicit mission expressed in this text is to reveal significant affiliations or rather deep inveteracy, or, better still, enracinement of psychiatry in culture, with special attention to the realm of ethics and the context of values. The unique phenomena of mental (social) crises within a certain society (culture) are the litmus paper or rather the touchstone of transitions of values’ hierarchy in the culture.
