Taijin Kyōfushō ( Japanese 対 人 恐怖症 English Taijin Kyofusho Symptoms , short: TKS ) is a Japanese and Korean culture-related syndrome ( mental disorder ).

Masatake Morita (1874–1938)

The term Taijin Kyōfushō literally describes the symptom ( shō ) of a phobia ( kyōfu ) of interpersonal relationships ( taijin ). Masatake Morita ( 森田 正 馬 , also wrongly Sino-Japanese as Shōma Morita) described this state as a vicious circle between self-confrontation and reproaches by people with a hypochondriacal temperament.

description

Outside of Japan, Taijin Kyōfushō is usually described as a form of anxiety disorder ( social phobia ) in which the victim fears and avoids social contact. However, Taijin Kyōfushō is not the fear of being embarrassed or of being judged unpleasantly by others - out of a social awkwardness (as is usually the case in Western cultures) - but the fear of offending or hurting others. The focus is therefore on preventing harm from others, not yourself.

In the official Japanese diagnostic system, Taijin Kyōfushō is divided into the following categories:

Taijin Kyōfushō, which is hardly widespread in Western cultures, is not described in DSM-5 , which is, however, controversial as the symptom occasionally occurs in Western patients.

treatment

The Japanese standard treatment for Taijin Kyōfushō is the Morita therapy developed by Masatake Morita in the 1910s (also for nervousness) . The healing originally consisted of isolation, forced bed rest, keeping a journal, physical labor, and lecturing on the importance of self-acceptance and a positive attitude. Treatment has been outpatient and group therapy since the 1930s .
