[CBT, Metacognition, mindfulness, and Haruki Murakami][Hip Journal Article]

This article does not mention Haruki Murakami (maybe he should...not only just because I like the author but Murakami writes about the rhythm of his daily life); yet this article shakes my Harukian part of brain...

What behavior is pathological and what is not?

If a behavior significantly undermines your daily functions, it is pathological; if not, it is normal.

This statement is a rough sketch. But as far as I know,
this is a foundation of psychopathology. The rest of arguments are matters of
different values, subjective opinions, and politics.

I have no intention to make another diagnosis cookie-cutter ...just a thought.

How Japanese People Really Think About "You"?
If you are interested in reading honest opinions and relatively accurate (in my opinion) information from Japanese people and those who are in Japan, try Japan Times. It also features cultural backgrounds in clear English. Don't miss the Letter section...some of the letters are from US and they may say something you always wanted to say!
