Personal History
After graduating from Ehime University School of Medicine, I joined in the psychiatry department of Gifu University and studied in France after completing my resident doctor. In France, after a year of experience as a psychiatrist at a University hospital in Marseille, I moved to the doctoral program at the Faculty of Psychoanalysis, Paris Diderot University, where I studied French psychoanalysis. After returning to Japan, while conducting general psychiatry clinical practice, I was translating books on French psychoanalysis into Japanese. However, my interest gradually shifted from individual psychotherapy to mental health, and I enrolled in the doctoral course at the Graduate School of International Development, Nagoya University. That is the beginning of my current research interest. I have a lot of research projects in Southeast Asia and African countries to promote community mental health and school mental health including education for children with disabilities in Southeast Asia.
