ResearchResearch themes
The lab's main themes are the crises people face at different life stages and the psychosocial support provided in response. Its work includes support for families during disasters, building support systems through inter-university networks, developing a scale to identify parents who struggle with child-rearing, and practical research on family therapy and brief therapy.
Psychosocial Support for Families in Disasters
In large-scale disasters, building knowledge on how to approach the families surrounding affected people has become an important challenge. The lab will develop and refine guidelines specialized in family-level psychosocial support, including for families in areas hit by special disasters and families evacuated over wide areas.
Disaster Support Preparedness Through an Inter-University Network
Centered on clinical psychology experts with extensive experience in psychosocial support after the Great East Japan Earthquake, the lab will build an inter-university network and work on establishing and using a support system in preparation for disasters. It will examine how to make use of universities that train clinical psychologists, develop and test the effectiveness of online programs for medium- and long-term support, and explore ways to collaborate with local governments.
Identifying Parents Who Need Trauma Care
The lab will develop a screening scale to identify parents who struggle with child-rearing and need trauma care, and design the psychoeducation these parents need. It will examine the scale's reliability and validity, and also test whether effects are seen with or without psychoeducation added.
Practical Research on Family Therapy and Brief Therapy
Grounded in family therapy and brief therapy, the lab conducts practical research on approaches that focus on the strengths of individuals, families, organizations, and communities.
