AboutAbout the lab
Deepening theories of the mind through clinical practice
The Clinical Psychology Course aims to deepen practical knowledge and theory for approaching problems of the mind, human beings, and society through theory, practice, and empirical research in clinical psychology.
Instead of separate labs led by individual professors, the course as a whole supervises graduate students.
Faculty research areas include psychotherapy based on Jungian psychology, images and psychic experience, psychoanalysis and supervision, and psychotherapy in adolescence.
Some faculty members also study the relationship between social change and psychological trends, creativity in clinical practice, the giving of meaning to painful experiences, and the relationship between those who provide support and those who receive it.

ResearchResearch themes
Through theory, practice, and empirical research in clinical psychology, the Clinical Psychology Course aims to develop new practical knowledge and deepen theory so that problems of the mind, human beings, and society can be approached more effectively. Each faculty member studies areas such as psychotherapy using images, psychoanalysis, and clinical practice with adolescents and young adults.
Jungian Psychology and the Healing Effects of Psychotherapy
Professor Yasuhiro Tanaka focuses on psychotherapy for neuroses. Through the practice of individual psychotherapy, the professor seeks to examine the healing factors of psychotherapy that uses images such as dreams, sandplay, and drawings, as well as its limitations.
Images and the Reality of Psychic Experience
Professor Himeka Matsushita studies the images contained in expressions that arise in clinical settings, such as words and actions, drawings, sandplay, and dreams, and perspectives for grasping the reality of psychic experience. The research is pursued through clinical practice and clinical psychological verification.
Psychoanalysis and Supervision
Professor Minako Nishi examines the nature of supervision in clinical psychology. Besides practice and clinical research in psychoanalysis grounded in Kleinian theory and the theories of Bion, the professor studies the beginnings of psychoanalysis in Japan as a part of the history of psychoanalysis.
Imagery Techniques and the Therapist's Involvement
Associate Professor Toshikazu Noguchi explores the structure of the mind of people with various symptoms and problems, and the triggers of change, through case studies and from cultural perspectives. In particular, in Jungian psychotherapy, the research examines the role of imagery techniques such as dreams, drawings, and play, and the attitude of the therapist.
