“…However, I believe that the current data call for an importance of "decentering" cultural models studies in Japan from the extant hegemony of English-based Euro-American paradigms (see Wierzbicka, 2013). To understand cultural phenomenology of food producers living in Japan in their own terms, it is vital to recenter it around the ethnopsychological and ethnosociological ("ethno" means Japanese language-based/centered) concepts, such as those generated by Lebra (1976) and Doi (1973Doi ( , 1985. My use of their work, therefore, is a conscious and deliberate attempt to challenge the unspoken assumptions about the universal validity and applicability (i.e., hegemony) of Western scholarship and academic practices (see LeVine, 2001, for example) based in English language and its associated worldview.…”

“…Rather, the sociocentric self is only one side of the coin as applied to the aspects of self and society operating under the principle of social relativism. Doi (1973Doi ( , 1985, a Japanese-born psychiatrist trained in Western psychoanalytical psychiatry, used Japanese ethnopsychological terms to explain the private and internal aspects of the individual self (Doi, 1985) and society (Doi, 1973). In Doi's view, the Japanese sense of self and society must be seen in the light of the binary two-tiered system of the inside (uchi) and outside (soto).…”

This study is a part of a National Science Foundation-funded (BCS 1330637), large-scale, multinational investigation of how culturally shared cognition—that is, cultural models—shapes food producers’ work and livelihood across the world (Bennardo, 2019). Our goal was to uncover, describe, and understand food producers’ cultural models of “nature” (i.e., worldview), which work as bedrock assumptions that guide their food-producing process and associated livelihood. The first phase of the study took place in the peripheries of two urban communities in Gunma Prefecture in central Japan. Ethnographic survey of the work and lives of the food producers was followed by semistructured interviews on food production processes and how they succeed in business. The results of the interviews were analyzed in terms of major themes, cultural keywords, and causal relations. The second phase of the study took place in four regions of Japan—including the original site—where I administered a consensus analysis questionnaire to test the generalizability of emerging themes (cultural models) from the first phase of the study. The main finding of the study is that food producers consider “being connected” (繋がる) with people (ひと) through nature, and vice versa, as a way of realizing both practical and creative potentials of humans and nature. Not only did they consider these mutually collaborative relationships between humans and nature as a pragmatic solution to sustaining their livelihood but also as the means for realizing the ontological and creative values of each.

“…Because people are interdependent, they speculate about others' needs and try to fulfil them, while expecting others to understand and gratify their own needs. This relationship is considered to be based on the mentality of Amae 18 . I discussed this kind of relationship as a sado‐masochistic aspect of Japanese society at the recent meeting of the American Psychiatric Association 19 .…”

Traumatic stress takes different forms in different sociocultural contexts. It is more reasonable to include covert and apparently nontraumatic stress as a factor contributing to dissociative disorders, rather than to limit our attention to overt and stereotyped forms of trauma, such as childhood sexual and physical abuse. Despite their different manifestations, covert stress and overt stress may cause dissociative pathology under certain conditions. This condition could be the suppression of projection and externalization of negative mental contents under a given stress. The author would like to call this form of stress `dissociogenic stress.' Whether or not an individual develops a dissociative disorder as a result of dissociogenic stress also depends on the individual's constitutionally based dissociative and hypnotic tendency.
