Scholars of transcultural psychiatry have long wondered why psychoanalysis has remained marginal in Japan, despite its early introduction there. Psychotherapy, however, has been steadily growing in popularity, and Jungians have played no small part in this development. This article provides a brief historical sketch of psychotherapy in Japan by focusing on how Jungians have cultivated a following through imaginative cultural critiques and therapeutic practices such as sandplay therapy. The article also touches upon the particularly Jungian themes that have appealed to popular audiences, as well as the dilemmas psychotherapists have encountered in their attempts to institutionalize psychotherapy as a form of clinical practice in Japan.
跨文化精神病学领域的学者长期以来一直感到疑惑，为何精神分析在日本虽早有引入，却始终处于边缘地位。然而，心理治疗在日本的受欢迎程度却在稳步上升，荣格学派在这一发展过程中发挥了不小的作用。本文通过聚焦荣格学派如何通过富有想象力的文化批评以及诸如沙盘游戏疗法等治疗实践来培养追随者，简要勾勒了日本心理治疗的历史概况。文章还探讨了吸引大众的特别的荣格学派主题，以及心理治疗师在日本试图将心理治疗确立为一种临床实践形式的过程中所遇到的困境。
