    Japanese Culture and Therapeutic Relationship

    No full text
    Japanese culture is collectivistic by nature, and there are some culturally indigenous patterns which govern forming relationships in Japan. One of the important patterns is hierarchy. Counselling and psychotherapy are based on Western concepts and the Japanese view them differently. When the Japanese provide or use counselling and psychotherapy services, they generally follow Japanese methods of forming relationships, which results in a hierarchical relationship between client and therapist. In this article, after the hierarchical nature of relationship in the Japanese cultural context is introduced, reflections of this pattern of relationship in the author\u27s therapeutic work with Japanese clients are presented. Suggestions as to how this dynamic can be used positively in the therapeutic setting are also made

    Japanese Students\u27 Experience of Adaptation and Acculturation of the United Kingdom

    No full text
    Many Japanese students come to the U.K. to study. In general, studying is their primary aim but some have additional reasons such as personal development through exposure to another culture. As a result of the homogeneity of Japanese society, Japanese people are not necessarily used to other cultures especially if they have only lived within Japan. Due to the vast differences between Japanese and British cultures, many students have difficulties in adapting to British society (Nippoda, 2011). This article presents some culturally specific factors that affect students\u27 adaptation based on research (Nippoda, 1993). It focuses on four main points arising from clinical work: the language barrier, differences in communication styles and educational systems, the individual\u27s motivation and external pressure, and the effects of students\u27 insecure status in the host country

    Deep False-Name-Proof Auction Mechanisms

    No full text
    We explore an approach to designing false-name-proof auction mechanisms using deep learning. While multi-agent systems researchers have recently proposed data-driven approaches to automatically designing auction mechanisms through deep learning, false-name-proofness, which generalizes strategy-proofness by assuming that a bidder can submit multiple bids under fictitious identifiers, has not been taken into account as a property that a mechanism has to satisfy. We extend the RegretNet neural network architecture to incorporate false-name-proof constraints and then conduct experiments demonstrating that the generated mechanisms satisfy false-name-proofness
