Protective Factors for Drug Abuse

A Prospectus for a Japanese-U.S. Epidemiologic Study

  • Chapter
Social Psychiatry across Cultures

Part of the book series: Topics in Social Psychiatry ((TSPS))

Abstract

Popular literature often describes the two faces of Japan. One face presents the country’s ability to constantly adapt to and modify what comes from outside, such as technology, fashion, and language. This trait is acknowledged by the Japanese, who know their ancestors produced the Japanese language from a combination of indigenous phonetics and Chinese characters. The other face of Japan, however, shows its ability to adhere to traditional and even ancient values and customs in the face of global Westernization. These seemingly contradictory traits can confound non-Japanese observers.
