Based on his observations in Japanese clinical settings, Fujinawa (1972) conceptualized egorrhea syndrome, which includes symptoms such as erythrophobia, fear of eye-to-eye confrontation, olfactory reference syndrome, delusions of soliloquy, delusions of sleep talking, and thought broadcasting. The key feature of this syndrome is self-leakage, a perceived sense that one's personal internal information, such as feelings and thoughts, are leaking out. To reach a more comprehensive understanding of egorrhea, this paper aims to present general overview and reconsider the phenomenon of self-leakage using cultural-clinical psychology as a framework. First, the symptoms of egorrhea are reviewed in relation to other related psychopathologies such as social anxiety disorder (SAD) and taijin kyofusho (TKS), as well as schizophrenia. Second, a series of empirical studies conducted using Japanese non-clinical samples are summarized. The results of these studies form the basis for subsequent discussions, which incorporates the cultural-clinical psychology perspective proposed by Ryder et al. (2011). This paper ends with a general discussion regarding implications for research and clinical practice.
基于他在日本临床环境中的观察，Fujinawa（1972）提出了 egorrhea 综合征的概念，该综合征包括脸红恐惧症、害怕眼神接触、嗅觉参照综合征、独白妄想、说梦话妄想和思想广播妄想等症状。该综合征的关键特征是自我泄漏，即一种感知到的个人内部信息（如感觉和想法）泄漏的感觉。为了更全面地了解 egorrhea，本文旨在使用文化临床心理学作为框架，对其进行概述并重新考虑自我泄漏现象。首先，回顾了 egorrhea 的症状与其他相关精神病理学的关系，如社交焦虑障碍（SAD）和 taijin kyofusho（TKS），以及精神分裂症。其次，总结了使用日本非临床样本进行的一系列实证研究。这些研究的结果为随后的讨论提供了基础，讨论结合了 Ryder 等人提出的文化临床心理学观点（2011）。本文最后对研究和临床实践的意义进行了一般性讨论。
