Book Synopsis Dependency and Japanese Socialization by : Frank A. Johnson
Book excerpt: A detailed presentation of theories concerning amae (a Japanese word indicating indulgent dependence), drawing on the work of Takeo Doi and others. Contrasts psychocultural aspects of the Japanese self and Japanese dependency with attitudes toward dependency seen among other nationalities, cultures, and groups in both Western and Asian societies. Johnson is Professor of Psychiatry at the U. of California, San Francisco. Annotation copyright by Book News, Inc., Portland, OR
