AboutAbout the lab

In this lab, Associate Professor Asuka Nomura, Professor Kenichi Suzuki, and Associate Professor Yoko Hayashi study psychological support for children and university students from a clinical psychology perspective.
Associate Professor Nomura is interested in how children in childhood and adolescence perceive themselves and their surroundings, and in how to listen to the inner voices of children showing signs of maladjustment and connect them to support.
Professor Suzuki has conducted research using psychoanalytic concepts through clinical psychology practice in settings such as student counseling, paying attention to the nature of relationships between people.
Associate Professor Hayashi specializes in supporting people with developmental disability traits and their families, and has worked on creating support programs for elementary and junior high school students with autism spectrum disorder.
