| 摘要 | By analyzing the therapeutic and social purposes of Japanese spiritual retreats, this paper presents an examination of the ongoing discourse between individualistic and relational aspects of self. It is argued that Confucian and Buddhist ideologies contribute to a unique synergy of social embeddedness and personal responsibility inherent in Japanese ideals of selfhood. These belief systems, and their endurance or modification via ongoing contact with the West, form the crux of this inquiry into the expression and experience of selfhood in Japan. The literature reviewed is interdisciplinary, drawing from psychology, anthropology, sociology, philosophy, and literature. With close attention to historical context, each category frames the investigation of retreat ideologies and techniques. Examples drawn from Morita and naikan psychotherapy supplement the data provided by the retreat ethnographies. The study offers an alternative to the ideals of autonomous individualism found in many Western psychotherapeutic models. It is argued that insight into Japanese notions of an ideal or moral self will broaden clinical perspectives regarding how the self may be experienced. In particular, the concept of a transcendental relational self is considered. This concept involves an expansion of the self to one which is highly concerned with human relationships while also committed to more transcendent views extending beyond this-worldly or socially-prescribed structures. |
