VERGLEICHENDE UNTERSUCHUNGEN ÜBER DEPRESSIVE ERKRANKUNGEN IN JAPAN UND IN DEUTSCHLAND (Comparative Investigations of Depressive Illness in Japan and in Germany) by BIN KIMURA. Fortschritte der Neurologie-Psychiatrie 33, no. 4 (1965): 202-15. (In German.) SCHULDERLEBNIS UND KLIMA (Fuhdo) [Experience of Guilt and Climate (Fuhdo)] by BIN KIMURA. Der Nervenarzt 37, no. 9 (September 1966): 394-400. (In German.) ZUR WESENSFRAGE DER SCHIZOPHRENIE IM LICHTE DER JAPANISCHEN SPRACHE (The Essential Problem of Schizophrenia in the Light of the Japanese Language) by BIN KIMURA. Jahrbuch für Psychologie, Psychotherapie und Medi zinische Anthropologie 17, no. 1/2 (1969): 28-37. (In German.)

This section begins with abstracts of articles by B. KIMURA, who compares psychiatric observations made in Germany with those made in his own country, Japan. He found significant differences in the frequency of depressive states and in the nature of depressive ideas on comparison of patients in these two countries. In his treatise on guilt experience and climate, Kimura tries to reduce cultural differences of psychic phenomena and the variations in religious-moral attitudes, which are often used to explain these differences, to ecological conditions. In a third article Kimura approaches the problem of schizophrenia from the viewpoint of psycholinguistics. Abstracts of these are followed by abstracts of articles by P.M. YAP and by K. KIM and T. KIM. Yap studies the kinds of anxiety reactions to be found among Western ex patriate outpatients in Hong Kong, causes of such reactions, and socio- psychiatric consequences they entail. K. Kim and T. Kim concerned themselves with initiation dreams of Korean shamans.
